The hotel has a state-of-the-art spa and a fine-dining restaurant that was featured in the 2016 Michelin Guide.

The huge outdoor saltwater pool is surrounded by palm trees, bougainvillaea and a pool bar.

There’s also an outdoor spa pool, which is heated throughout the year and has underwater massage jets.

Meanwhile, Maspalomas Beach is just a few steps away from the resort, which is known for its long stretches of sandy beach with huge dunes as the backdrop.

After relaxing by the pool and the beach, the terrace piano bar is where you’ll find champagne, cocktails and fine wine with live background music.

The hotel has 94 rooms, and the interior has been designed by French designer Alberto Pino.

The rooms all feature a balcony or terrace with a choice of pool, garden or inland views.

All the rooms include aircon, free wifi, a Nespresso machine with new capsules everyday, a mini bar and luxury toiletries.

But it doesn’t end there. Guests will also receive a welcome gift of water, flowers, and fruit. Plus, they will also get a newspaper delivered to their room every day.

When it comes to activities, visitors can enjoy yoga, Tai Chi, shuffleboard, darts, table tennis, and boccia free of charge.

The activities are available at the neighbouring sister hotel, the Seaside Palm Beach Hotel.
