Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa

Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort is a luxurious beachfront resort on the doorstep of Gran Canaria's Maspalomas Dunes Nature Reserve. Surrounded by 800 palm trees it boasts six outdoor swimming pools (one just for the adults), six restaurants, indoor and outdoor bars, plus a spa. Three of the outdoor pools have accompanying bars where you can grab a cool cocktail, beer, beef burger, spring roll or a Nutella crepe.

If you book Half Board you’ll be able to enjoy daily breakfasts and dinners at Gastro Market Buffet Alameda with its 13 gastronomic points, differentiated by markets and flavours. But don’t miss out on the four a la cartes, offering the finest Italian cuisine, Argentine grilled meats, Japanese specialities and pan-Asian dishes. For an evening of food and entertainment there’s Café del Mar where you can dine and drink, while watching a live show. After dinner you might choose to head to Bar Central for a quiet digestif or for a more lively end to the day there’s the Disco Bar.

To take your relaxation to the next level, reserve a spot at the spa. It’s home to a steam bath, zodiac relaxation room with waterbeds, lava floatation pool and a hydrotherapy pool with jets. To experience everything book the four hour experience that takes you around the whole circuit. If you prefer to condition your muscles there’s a fully equipped gym.

Double rooms are a generous 40m2. They’re fitted out with a king size bed, walk in shower, mini bar, satellite TV, plus a balcony or terrace. Deluxes offer two separate beds, making them an ideal choice for friends sharing a room. The family option has space for five (max. four adults) and includes two queen beds. Upgrade to Premium Pool for direct access to a pool from your terrace. For the ultimate in luxury there’s the 63m2 Suites with a separate lounge and two televisions.

Shopaholics will be at home in Meloneras, thanks to the variety of luxury boutiques and designer stores, not to mention the Atlántico shopping centre with over 80 stores. You'll be just 1.5km from the western edge of the stunning Maspalomas Dunes, a protected nature reserve. Here, you can spot exotic birds or ride a camel. The area also provides ample opportunities to go hiking, biking and surfing. The island’s small size means even Gran Canaria’s capital, Las Palmas, is only 60km away, making it an ideal day trip for lovers of museums and Spanish architecture.
