The Spanish islands of Ibiza and Formentera in the Mediterranean have been popular sun-holiday destinations for footballers over the years.
Younger athletes have been known to sample Ibiza's internationally renowned nightlife, with a number of famous nightclubs hosting popular electronic music DJs and bands, but there is something for everyone on the Balaerics.
Veteran stars such as Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Cesc Fabregas notably took their families on a trip to the islands in 2022, spending downtime together on a yacht as well as taking in the local sights and sounds.
With average temperatures hovering around the mid-20s degrees Celsius (around 80 degrees Farenheit) in June and July, Ibiza and Formentera are perfect destinations for players seeking a sun holiday that has it all.

New York City has become a popular destination for footballers to visit during the European off-season.
The City That Never Sleeps is one of the most iconic places to visit in the world, thanks to its almost mythic allure, fast-paced lifestyle and unmistakeable, mesmerising skyline.
One of the biggest draws for many footballers is the chance to see American sports live, with NBA games being a particular attraction. It is not unusual to find stars of the European game in the crowd at a New York Knicks or Brooklyn Nets game in the summertime.
The fact that New York is a global commercial hub and relatively accessible with a trans-Atlantic flight, means that footballers based in Europe are often able to get some promotional work in with their commercial partners too while on holiday.

England and Manchester City star Jack Grealish famously indulged in the Las Vegas hospitality along with his friends after helping Pep Guardiola's team to the Premier League title in 2022, while Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney flew the Wrexham team out to Nevada as a reward for securing promotion from the National League.
It is easy to see why 'Sin City' has such an appeal for footballers who want to let their hair down after a gruelling season, with no shortage of titillations available.
"It was unbelievable," said Wrexham star striker Paul Mullin of their trip to the City of Light. "We were treated like Kings!"
From casinos, pool resorts and music shows to sporting events and fine dining, Vegas truly has something for everyone.
The Strip itself is monumental, with Fremont retaining some of the 'Old Vegas' charm, while day trips through the Mojave desert to places like Hoover Dam are easily done.
