Hotel Palm Beach Gran Canaria: Paradise by the Maspalomas Dunes

When choosing a hotel in Gran Canaria, this time we thought we’d opt for the island’s first Design Hotel – the award-winning Hotel Palm Beach. Luxury is standard here and can be experienced in every aspect of the hotel’s design and service. As the owner, Theo Gerlach, says: "You have to offer guests what you yourself expect from a hotel" - and we certainly felt that sentiment during our stay here.

The hotel is in a great location, right beside the ocean. It is surrounded by a fabulous palm tree oasis on the edge of a nature reserve. Not far away, there is a five-mile-long golden beach and the famous dunes of Maspalomas - all within easy walking distance.

We found this to be the perfect place to take early morning walks by the ocean, past the lighthouse to the beach promenade with its many shops and restaurants or along the Maspalomas Dunes. The amazing gardens beside the hotel pool offer the ideal spot to relax after a busy day – you feel like you’re in paradise, surrounded by palm trees and pools.

The interior of Seaside Palm Beach exudes retro charm. Only 200 hotels in around 40 countries all over the world qualify to be Design Hotel members because of their outstanding design and pioneering architecture. You won't fail to be impressed by the hotel's unique design. The luxurious rooms and suites are bathed in light and offer wonderful views, with design and comfort forming a perfect combination.

This is a great place for families or couples and offers lots of facilities for kids of all ages. Entertainment, the Miniclub, the playground and children's pool, as well as a special kids menu, will keep the kids happy and occupied while mum and dad unwind by the pool.

There are three exclusive golf courses nearby which offer green fee concessions to hotel guests. Have a workout at the fitness centre under the palm trees, play tennis on the floodlit tennis court, or take part in one of the many outdoor and indoor sports available. Get adventurous with water sports or take a day trip to one of the picturesque villages on the island. After a busy day, the luxurious spa offers first-class facilities such as saunas and thalasso pools. Alternatively, you can let yourself be pampered with body and facial treatments using top-class products.

The food options here are also superb. The hotel attaches great importance to providing quality local and seasonal products, and they create outstanding dishes in a daily demonstration of their passion for imaginative cooking. Each of the restaurants has its own individual gastronomic vision: the Main Restaurant with a variety of à la carte dishes, themed buffets and barbecues, the Esencia with its acclaimed Mediterranean specialities, and the Tapas restaurant, La Bodega. The extensive breakfast buffet is served on a beautiful terrace in the main restaurant. The perfect way to end your day is with a cool cocktail in the bar while you enjoy an entertaining live performance

The Palm Beach Hotel is very easy to find - it’s not that far from the airport, just 38 kilometres, and has its own parking. The capital of the island, Las Palmas is just 45 minutes away by car.

This hotel is the best experience you can have in Gran Canaria!

  • When I first came here with my friend, we were speechless... We were nearly in tears as it was beyond our imagination...

  • The summer is over, but there's no reason not to get close to the sea in autumn too! And no, you don’t need to fly to the Maldives. It’s also possible in Europe, in beautiful Portugal, where you can enjoy a very mild and warm start to autumn. How about prolonging your summer by learning surfing or kitesurfing? There is no better place in Europe to do this than in Portugal. And you could visit gorgeous Lisbon - a city of small, cosy streets, classic trams and medieval architecture.

  • The end of the road. This is how easy it is to find The Cape Panwa Hotel. It's located on the furthest, most southeast point of the island in one of the most tranquil areas in Phuket. Nestled among the coconut groves and tropical gardens the hotel offers complete relaxation for its guests. It has two unique things: a 300m long private beach (that is very rare for hotels in Thailand); and it’s the only hotel I’ve ever known which has its own … tram!

  • It was one of the most difficult dreams to realise. I’d always wanted to swim and play with dolphins, the most amazing creatures on Earth. But simply because they are so smart and wonderful, I'm against dolphinariums. So I found a place where dolphins live in the most natural environment - the sea. Dolphin Island is located 1 km from the shore of Punta Cana, and is the only place in the Dominican Republic where you can swim with dolphins in their natural habitat.

  • When it comes to road trips, it’s all about the journey: the sense of freedom, the ever-changing surroundings, the wind rushing through your hair. Our partner Holiday Lettings takes the wheel and guides you through some ultimate road trips, from the Amalfi Coast to the Atlas Mountains.

  • Santorini. The most picturesque and romantic island in the world. It has such a special atmosphere that you just forget about everything and are afraid to put down your camera for fear of missing a good shot. With multi-coloured cliffs soaring above a sea-drenched caldera and cute white Cycladic houses, Santorini looks like a giant slice of layered cake.
