Best for

Ideal for couples who want a classic, elegant and sophisticated wedding venue with a touch of historic charm. Great for medium-sized events, city-based weddings, and couples who want something luxurious but not resort-like. Perfect if your guests prefer being in a walkable area with cultural activities and restaurants close by.

• According to travel guides, it’s a beach resort with sea-view rooms, spa, gardens and good facilities — making it a solid base for a wedding location.

• Being in Las Palmas (the capital of Gran Canaria) it gives access to city amenities — good if some guests travel from abroad or want easy transportation & city convenience.

• It’s flexible: suitable for families, couples, beach-goers — so could work for weddings that mix guests of different tastes (some may enjoy city/sea balance).
