WHAT WE LOVE...

There is one sole member of The Leading Hotels of the World on Gran Canaria. That unique representative is the five-star Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia. Where else in the world can claim to have hosted the diverse talents of Bruce Springsteen and Mary Berry? A stay here feels special because you are made to feel number one. The hotel is low-level and unobtrusive. It's hidden away from the rest of the Maspalomas resort. Privacy is guaranteed. You can keep a low profile at this high-end establishment. It's a real Garden of Eden in a holiday hotspot that is more associated with mass tourism than select accommodation. The only thing climbing here is the bougainvillea, which drapes the elegant exterior.

THE DETAILS

Perfect for middle-aged and elderly couples looking for a break in the sun without the accompanying hustle and bustle of a larger hotel. The flower-adorned bridge over the swimming pool is a beautiful image which ups the romantic appeal of the hotel.

Rooms

The fittingly lavish Presidential Suite has 400 square metres of private gardens complete with a hot tub and sun loungers. The slumbersome beds would entice Goldilocks to sleep, being neither too hard or too soft but just right.

Food & Drink

Head chef Wolfgang Grobaeur's photographic memory recalls what he last served - and we love the detailed sketches he has of his latest culinary creations. A strudel of sweet potatoes, port wine cherries and sweet onions is the perfect blend of an international dish with local ingredients.

The restaurant: authentic Canarian cuisine, international dishes, seafood. Open daily for breakfast and dinner.
Pool bar: tapas, homemade snacks. Open daily for lunch.
