 |  | … now that the first May bank holiday is over, at UJHQ that means all eyes now are firmly set on Ibiza (and summer in general). We’re thinking about Greece too, and are excited to see how San Giorgio and Scorpios in Mykonos evolve over the years, with the new Soho House backing. We’re also excited to start looking into some more off-the-beaten-track destinations, with Comporta in Portugal being high on our list. Other than that, it’s a four day week! Enjoy.
