On Our Travels: Introducing Paradisus Gran Canaria
New in 2023 to the Luxury Worldwide Collection, the 5 star Paradisus Gran Canaria by Melia has been an instant hit with our guests.
All-inclusive, it has been recently renovated and is very modern offering fantastic facilities as well as beautiful views over the Atlantic Ocean. In July this year our Sales Manager Kris Tassel took a trip over to the Canaries to see it for himself.
Read on for some expert insights into Gran Canaria’s hottest hotel a few personal tips from Kris ….




STAY
There is a wide range of accommodation options here, from Premium Rooms to Two Bedroom Family Suites, with the option to stay at ‘The Reserve’, the hotel’s adults-only area, with fabulous sea view rooms and rooms with terrace bathtub! All rooms are beautifully decorated with regional art and handcrafted materials, as well as organic bed linen and sustainable bathroom amenities. Expect lots of handy amenities, such as a mini bar, free Wi-Fi, a coffee maker and cosy bathrobes and slippers.
‘Nikte’ is their upgraded service for families craving luxury and comfort. The Nikte experience comes with a superior room with luxury amenities, turn-down service, assistance with reserving activities and restaurants, and a personal explanation of all of the hotel facilities.




PLAY
The hotel’s adults-only area, The Reserve, offers an upgraded guest experience with a personalised concierge service, priority reservations for activities and restaurants and an exclusive pool with pool service.
Families are very well looked after, with a Kids’ Zone programme (from 5-12 years old) and tech-forward events for Teens, not to mention the pool and Splash Park. There’s a new Kidsdom concept at Paradius Gran Canaria which allows children to learn about well-being and sustainability through a range of activities.
Whilst the kids are entertained parents can take full advantage of the luxurious and revitalizing spa and the many treatments, there’s also a steam bath and sauna which is an extra charge.
In addition there are excellent facilities on offer, like bike rental and a well-equipped gym, and a kids’ play area. When staying at least four nights, you can take advantage of the hotel’s frequent tourist attraction visits and local experience days, as part of their destination-inclusive concept.





WINE & DINE
I was blown away by the wide range of gastronomic experiences here, with 7 restaurants and 3 different bars on offer. From the 24/7 Lobby Bar (24/7 cocktails!) Ginger, to the Signature Restaurant Peseta, you can also find Cevichería, a Trattoria and so much more! At The Shack, you can sample tasty dishes whilst enjoying the pool area, and at the exclusive The Reserve Lounge (exclusive for The Reserve Customers and Adults Only) you will have a private space to refresh yourself and enjoy the sunshine.






Kris’s Expert Review
This really is a hotel that has something for everyone. It’s a family-friendly resort, but also offers an exclusive adults-only concept for couples looking for a romantic beach escape, and the best thing of all is their unique destination-inclusive all-inclusive concept, offering cultural experiences and local activities for guests! It ticks every box! I would defiantly recommend couples and adult only group to up upgrade to The Reserve.
