Royal Hideaway Luxury Hotels & Resorts
Sun, sea, pleasure and luxury
The 5* luxury retreat in a class of its own not only impresses with its modern, avant-garde architecture, elegant interiors and the unique concept of tailor-made experiences, where guests can enjoy customized experiences such as a private helicopter flight over the island or individual catamaran tours. The excellent cuisine also deserves a special mention! Three Michelin stars spread across two restaurants ensure culinary delights that leave nothing to be desired. In the two-star El Rincón de Juan Carlos, the Padrón brothers offer exceptional Canarian specialties with a modern twist. At San Hô, Adrián Bosch and Eduardo Domínguez serve up refined Nikkei cuisine - a symbiosis of Peruvian-Japanese influences and traditional Canarian cuisine - which earned them their first Michelin star in 2022. Signature dishes include unusual fish and seafood combinations that combine elements of both cultures. If you want something even more special, book an exclusive chef-in-room experience - a dinner with a private chef in your own suite - or start the day with a floating breakfast in your own pool.
In the middle of Gran Canaria's capital Las Palmas sits another jewel of the Barceló Hotel Group: the 5-star Grand Luxury Hotel Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel with 204 rooms and suites. The oldest hotel in the archipelago was built in 1890, reopened in 2019 after a careful renovation by the Barceló Hotel Group and named the best hotel in Spain by the World Travel Awards in 2022. Fine works of art, murals and paintings from the 19th century and an elegant interior design reflect the traditional royal British style that makes the Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel a historic place from whose rooftop guests can enjoy sensational views of the city, the harbor and the sea.
Gourmets get their money's worth in this luxury domicile. The avant-garde Michelin-starred restaurant Poemas by Hermanos Padrón brings a fresh twist to Canarian specialties. Whether corn taco with black garlic and yoghurt, black pudding nougat and almond praliné or freshly caught fish and seafood - it sets new standards with its haute cuisine interpretations. The Tapas Bodega Doramas, the Carabela, a pool bar and restaurant, and Ali's Rooftop Bar with pool round off the gastronomic offering. Typical local specialties are served in the Bodega 1890, which has quickly established itself as a popular meeting place for hotel guests and locals. Here you can dine in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy a modern interpretation of local and Spanish tapas, accompanied by wines from the region.
