Location and infrastructure
Architect Alvaro Sanz conceived it as a palace in a strict neoclassical style, but with the most modern design inside. A funny but quite harmonious contrast came out: you enter a building with strict proportions, straight lines and white columns and find yourself in a hall with cosmically streamlined couches and a huge dome under which a flock of sparkling fish-modules is hanging in the air.
Just behind it there is an open patio with light-music fountains, pools, lots of snow-white chairs and deckchairs. Walk a little further and you’ll reach the viewpoint where you can see the whole resort with its lush gardens, thatched gazebos, lakes and the grandiose pool – the biggest in the Canary Islands – at your fingertips. A veritable 5,000 square metre inland sea with heated salt water, an artificial lagoon, two hydromassage areas and 70 underwater sun lounges – a serious competitor to the cooler Atlantic and the hotel’s small, shallow pebble beach.

In addition to suites with Jacuzzi on the terrace and villas with pools, it offers additional VIP services: a separate lounge with its own reception desk, 24-hour concierge service and personal butler service, private pools and business center with a library, priority reservation in restaurants and SPA.
