What we looked for

Eight of our ten Gran Canaria hotels have a spa, and between these four the rate decides as much as the sauna. At Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia the thalasso pool, sauna, steam room and salt cave cost guests nothing. Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity charges €35 for a three-hour circuit and Lopesan Villa del Conde Resort & Thalasso €40 for three hours, and Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, includes its circuit only from the Junior Suite up. Treatments are extra everywhere.

The setting is the other choice. Salobre stands on a golf estate in the dry hills above Maspalomas, with no beach on foot, so plan on a car. Residencia is 8 minutes' walk from the long sand of Playa de Maspalomas; Villa del Conde has part-pebble coves below its garden gate and that sand 17 minutes along the promenade. Santa Catalina is the city spa, in the palm park of Ciudad Jardín in Las Palmas. Pick the trip first, then the room that puts the spa in the price.

1 / 4

Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity

Salobre, Maspalomas, Gran Canaria

Be Aloe is the reason Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity sits at the top of this list. The spa centres on aloe vera and island products. Indoors there are heated seats, an ice fountain, bithermal showers, an oxygen-therapy cabin and a Finnish sauna at 80°C; outdoors, the Vitality pool has jets, bubble beds and a waterfall, looking over the course to the mountains. It is open every day, 11:00 to 19:00, and under-16s have limited access. A circuit of three hours costs €35 and sits outside the standard rate; among the treatments, a 50-minute anti-stress massage is €85 and the Aloe Experience, 90 minutes long, €139.

Around the spa are a gym open around the clock, yoga, aquagym and Tempo, a sleep programme backed by Hospitales San Roque. Meloneras beach is a 15-minute drive off-peak, or take the hotel's daily shuttle to Maspalomas beach, so the days are built around the spa and the pools.
