Last chance to win a 2-night European break with Melia Hotels International

Just a quick heads up that midnight tonight (Friday) is your last chance to enter our Melia Hotels International competition.  Entries date-stamped after this time will not be counted.

The winner will receive two free weekend nights in any European Melia property of their choice (excluding Paris).

Here, for example, is what ‘Luxury Travel Advisor’ has to say about the new ME hotel in Ibiza:

“The Spanish isle of Ibiza– a favorite summer hang-out for the jetset crowd– will see some notable new hotel openings this summer. We’ve had our eye on the ME Ibiza, slated to open in June, because of the rooftop beach club with 360º views and the pool with Bali beds. Right on the beach, the hotel has direct boat access to the bay. There will be 179 bedrooms and 26 suites designed in a contemporary, minimalist style overlooking the Mediterranean or the adjacent Nikki Beach Club. Perks include an in-room bar experience, customized mood lighting, rain showers, and Apivita bath products.”

There are worse ways to spend a summer weekend!  And, of course, there are over 200 other European Melia properties to choose from.

You can enter via the original article on the competition which is here.

If you run your own SME, don’t forget to also take a look at the Melia business programme which I wrote about here.
