Terraced volcanic resort
Set high above the coast, the resort trades beachfront bustle for quiet volcanic slopes, golf fairways, and sunset terraces.
What it’s good at
Notable
Stepped terracing across eleven hillside levels finished in earth-toned stucco and local stone.
Notable
Two eighteen-hole golf courses carved into volcanic ravines, beside seven swimming pools.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the style is modernist but not alienating, just clean-lined and sophisticated, which is not exactly typical for golf resorts.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The hotel sits inland in the El Salobre ravines, a ten-minute drive from the dunes and beaches of Maspalomas.
The rooms
Full-length windows open onto private balconies with views across the golf fairways and barren volcanic countryside.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged day loungers and draped wooden cabanas line the terraced pools looking out across the golf valley.
The spa
Private treatment cabins use local organic aloe vera and volcanic stones, connected by walkways bordered with smooth river rocks.
The gym and pool
Salobre Fitness on level 11 looks toward Maspalomas, and wooden decks wrap around a semicircular hillside pool.
At the table
Sidecar prepares regional Canarian fusion against dark slate walls, and SENS Kitchen opens onto a patio with a vertical garden.
How it began
Arizona architects Allen and Philp designed the complex across eleven stepped tiers to integrate with the surrounding desert rock.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
