Paradisus by Melia Gran Canaria

Sitting just a stone’s throw from the dark sands and calm waters of San Agustin Beach, Paradisus by Melia Gran Canaria ticks all the beach holiday boxes – and it does it in style. Elegance and luxury are all around here, from the bright and airy rooms and suites to the sumptuous spa and peaceful surroundings. Whether you’re after a romantic getaway for two or a break the whole family will love, this five-star hotel could be just the ticket.

Pool, beach, or spa? The relaxation opportunities here are worth shouting about. Wander through the grounds to the water’s edge, and dip your toes in the Atlantic, or pick your patch of sand and get to people watching while you keep one eye on the kids. When you’ve had your fill of the ocean, head back up to the hotel and peruse the spa treatment menu. While you’re indulging in a well-earned massage, pack the youngsters off to the kids’ club where they can get stuck into everything from arts and crafts to science experiments.

At the end of an active day, you’ll have your pick when it comes to eats. The main restaurant here is the Culinary Market where five different cuisines are served under one roof. Elsewhere there’s an Italian trattoria that specialises in simple, rustic dishes, an adults-only à la carte place that deals in authentic Canary Islands cuisine, and a ceviche bar with sea views. Ginger Grand Café and Lobby Bar meanwhile, serves up everything from light bites and pastries to expertly mixed cocktails, in a super-stylish setting, while the Kanna Beach Club and the poolside snack bar serve all kinds of delicious refreshments and light meals during the day. 

Whatever room you opt for, you'll find it's bright, airy, and elegant. For an extra touch of luxury, upgrade to 'The Reserve' adults-only rooms, which as well as being a cut above the rest, come with a list of added extras that include an exclusive pool, exclusive beach club, and an exclusive lounge bar that's perfect for a quiet drink.
