What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
many of its smartly appointed rooms looking out over the Atlantic and a warm, earthy style running throughout thanks to an abundance of wooden furnishings.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The beach promenade and Maspalomas sand dunes are a short walk away, as is nightlife around the Yumbo Centre.
The rooms
Open layouts leave bathrooms in full view of the bedroom, and timber floors lead onto private balconies.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated freshwater and saltwater pools sit among palms, one stretching 22 metres with underwater speakers.
The spa
A 32°C vitality pool with waterfall jets sits underground, flanked by Finnish saunas and a cold plunge pool.
360° Restaurant
Retractable glass windows look across the Maspalomas dunes to the ocean, beside curved banquettes and a black grand piano.
Atelier Cocktail Bar
Bartenders shake signature drinks using Canarian ingredients on the open rooftop terrace, which regularly hosts live music.
At the table
Sapphire Pool Bar bakes wood-fired pizzas and mixes drinks beside the loungers on the garden deck.
How it began
The building spent decades as a package-tour hotel before an overhaul halved the room count to create spacious suites.
