Sponsorship Spotlight: Beverley Hills Villa, Fuerteventura!
This year we're welcoming back Beverley Hills, who have been sponsoring us for a few years. Over that time, several of our clubs have had amazing holidays staying with them in Fuerteventura, with the villa situated super close to the Ion Club bases at Costa Calma and Risco del Paso.
