As one of the largest centres in Europe dedicated to health and the most modern Thalassotherapy, your wellbeing is the core focus at this tranquil property. From 34 hydromassage stations to a duo of dynamic pools and a treatment list a mile long, the spa is its centrepiece. But outside the walls of its saunas and hot tubs, there’s modern double rooms with Atlantic sea views alongside an impressive gastronomic line-up.

Plus its on the doorstep of San Agustin Beach when you’re in need of some rapid watersports or sandcastle building. Or, stay onsite where private hammocks, rooftop pools and state-of-the-art sports facilities come as standard.

Range of options 

Although you’ll spend most of your hours basking in Gran Canaria’s rays or exploring its famed dunes, your base is just as important. That’s why the Gloria Palace San Agustin offers doubles, family and junior suites in order to provide infinite options. The most basic option sleeps up to three guests and flaunts a large 32 square metres of space. Its art-adorned walls, warm wood flooring and modern touches make it all the more desirable.

Facilities include that all-important air conditioning, free Wi-Fi connection, a fully furnished terrace and TV. Travelling with up to five people? The family number has ample room for the whole clan. But, if you fancy something with a luxurious element then the sea view junior suite will tick all your boxes, especially when you catch a glimpse of its living room!

Food with a view 

This property doesn’t have raving reviews and 4 stars for no reason, and its gourmet fare is one of its many highlights. Going All Inclusive has never been so pleasurable with all the restaurants and bars at your disposal.

Gorbea Restaurant: This panoramic venue not only serves up Basque and international cuisine a la carte style, but its jaw-dropping views of the Maspalomas Dunes are famous in Gran Canaria. In addition, you can head here at lunch where a snack menu is dished up while you lounge in hammocks.

Main Restaurant: When you can’t decide what your stomach craves, this buffet joint is perfect. Revel in a mixture of goods including creamy pastas, grilled kebabs and seafood-stuffed paella, better yet you can pile it all on one plate (or go back for round two).

Snack Bar: Hiding away among the hotel’s gardens, this snack shack will serve up light bites by the dozen.

Chill-out Terrace: Retire here for cocktails at sunset, it’s also where you’ll find the rooftop pool which gazes perfectly out onto the horizon.

Pool Bar: On hand when you need a refreshing treat under the sun, find spirits, beer and soft drinks here throughout the day.

Lounge Bar: Located next to a cascading waterfall which adds further serenity, this laid-back drinking spot is ideal for pre-dinner tipples.

Facilities built for relaxation 

Two lake-size swimming pools in a sun trapped location will grab your attention as soon as you check in, not only for their enormous size but the surrounding padded loungers and exotic gardens. Attached is a smaller paddle-friendly number catering for little kids, so pack your inflatables. There’s also a collection of sports amenities for fitness fanatics such as a flood-lit tennis court, fully-equipped gym and ping pong tables.

Lastly, we can’t mention the hotel’s facilities without talking about its award-winning Thalasso centre. It’s a sanctuary of wellness with 7,000 square metres dedicated to rejuvenation. It even features a mini club so you can ship the kids off to play arts and crafts while you indulge in a scrub or wrap.

Direct access to the sea 

Just 500 metres from Las Burras Beach and 600 metres from San Agustin’s, you’ve got the pick of the bunch thanks to the establishment’s idyllic location. Best of all, Maspalomas is within easy reach and for those who’d rather take the bus, there’s a free shuttle option to make your holiday all the more easy-going.

Backed by a wide range of eateries, alongside a huge shopping mall and lively bars, you don’t have to wander far for the action.
