The five star Hotel Christina at Playa de Las Canteras, one of the world’s best urban beaches, is undeniably one of the top venues in Gran Canaria! In the heart of Las Palmas this hotel is the perfect venue for those looking for a mix of the beach and something a bit more urban!
Adults only, this hotel has a sophisticated vibe! Decorated in a trendy modern style, this light and airy hotel is perfect for bringing a summer feel to your event, even if it’s in the dead of winter! As the Canaries are off of the coast of Africa, it feels like it’s always summer there.

One of the island’s oldest remaining hotels and recently renovated, the five star Santa Catalina is a breathtaking hotel and a venue with an amazing history.

Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity
One for the golf fans among us – the stunning Salobre Hotel and resort is set on really 40,000 square meters of land and features not one, but two perfectly manicured golf courses.

Don’t feel too cut off though as the hotel runs a free shuttle service to the beach!
The hotel has been designed with its rural setting in mind and seems to blend in with the natural environment, perfect for those looking to get back to nature! The hotel’s palate, down to the uniforms of the staff, is neutral and calm! Not to mention the rooftop infinity pool and the wellness center featuring things like a hammam- this place is perfect for something chill.
The hotel boasts fantastic gastronomy with concept dinners with themes like street food, and a number of restaurants ranging from casual poolside to something more fancy! There is also a selection of expertly mixed imaginitive cocktails available from the bars!
