What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
In a building itself deemed an artistic and cultural heritage site, designed by respected Spanish architect Fernando Higueras, Paradisus Salinas Lanzarote’s pools and tropical gardens were the vision of the late Cesar Manrique.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Playa de las Cucharas and Playa de los Charcos sit to either side, connected by a coastal walking path.

The rooms
Rooms open onto wide private balconies or terraces, and select standalone villas add their own plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Dark volcanic basalt curves around the 1,800-square-meter seawater lagoon, shaded by tall palms and thatched umbrellas.
The spa
Therapies use Canarian aloe vera and local Malvasia grape extracts. The thermal circuit includes a steam sauna and hammam.
At the table
La Graciosa prepares zero-kilometer Canarian cuisine, and Cappella serves Italian dinners looking straight out across the Atlantic.
