Gran Canaria is a Spanish-controlled island within the Canary Islands that are just off the coast of Africa. Given it’s unique cultural influences and geographic location, it is a popular vacation destination for people looking for a different type of an exotic beach getaway. Now there are many great hotels and resorts to choose from when you visit here, but what are some of the best luxury ones that you cannot pass up? Here are three luxury hotels that you just have to stay in if you come to Gran Canaria.
The Seaside Palm Beach
A crowd favorite and a consistent pleaser, the Seaside Palm Beach hotel and resort is one of the nicer resorts found on the island. The hotel is located just off the beach and it offers all of the luxury accommodations that one would expect. It’s centrally located in Maspalomas so you’re never far from the beach, the local town, and all of the action/attractions the island has to offer. There’s a bit of everything here at the Seaside Palm Beach so it’s great for a luxury family vacation or for a couple seeking a romantic trip.
The Radisson Blu
With each room offering luxurious accommodations, plenty of space, and beautiful balconies, the Radisson Blu is another great hotel to stay in. This massive resort has pretty much everything: spacious pools, multiple bars/lounges, a spa, access to three beaches, great service, and more. The Radisson Blu also offers a range of different activities for guests to enjoy like volleyball games, scuba diving trips, and sightseeing tours of the local area. It’s a modern resort that has all of the comforts that you could possibly want. There’s so much to do here that you could theoretically never leave the hotel grounds; it’s one of those resorts that are like a self-contained town.
The Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia
If you want to go all-out on a luxury resort/hotel, the Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia is the obvious choice. According to Trip Advisor, this is rated as the number one luxury hotel in all of Gran Canaria. The hotel offers basic rooms and suites, however if you want something a bit nicer you can opt for the two-story Spanish villas that are found throughout the property. Heated pools, amazing staff, class leading restaurants, beautiful gardens, an amazing spa, and pristine beaches are just some of the great features this hotel has to offer. You’ll be spending top dollar here, however it is arguably the nicest hotel on the island.
