Canary Islands Hotels

Compare 13 Canary Islands hotels across Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. The selection spans beach resorts, city heritage hotels, mountain stays and a small adults-only coastal property. Choose the island and daily routine first: these hotels serve different holidays and are not a universal ranking.

Each property below has its own photograph, location advice and direct Booking.com link. Rates, facilities and availability depend on your dates and room category. For neighbourhoods and island selection, start with Where to Stay. La Graciosa remains part of that island comparison; this hotel shortlist does not imply that it has the same resort supply as the larger islands.

For a southern Tenerife resort stay, compare the named Bahía del Duque option below; use the tables to choose a different island or style. We may earn a commission if you book through our Booking.com links.

Tenerife and Gran Canaria: compare seven stays

The other islands: compare six stays

Tenerife · Costa Adeje · A resort holiday beside the southern coast

Bahía del Duque

Choose Bahía del Duque when the resort itself is a major part of the holiday. The Costa Adeje location gives you southern Tenerife’s coastal promenades and resort restaurants, rather than the urban atmosphere of Santa Cruz or La Laguna. The property offers several accommodation categories; compare the actual room or villa you are booking, not just the resort’s headline photographs.

For a beach-led stay, check the route from your room area to the shore and the distance to the restaurants you will use. The grounds are extensive, so room position matters if steps or longer walks are difficult. Confirm dining inclusions, any category-specific benefits and parking before comparing the total with a smaller property. The aerial photograph illustrates the setting rather than a guaranteed room view.

Tenerife · Teide National Park · Mountain scenery and an overnight in the national park

Parador de Las Cañadas del Teide

This is the mountain alternative to a Tenerife beach resort. Its national-park setting makes it worth comparing when you want to spend an evening in the volcanic landscape instead of driving straight back to the coast. The building sits in Las Cañadas, with the Roques de García area nearby; it is a base for experiencing the high landscape, not a substitute for a trail-access booking.

Plan for cold evenings and the effects of altitude even when your coastal arrival is warm. Check roads and the weather before travelling up, and ask about dinner arrangements because resort-style choice is not on the doorstep. A hotel reservation does not grant summit access, a cable-car departure or permission to use a restricted trail. Choose this stay for the setting rather than a daily beach routine.

Tenerife · Alcalá · A large oceanfront resort and pool-focused stay

Gran Meliá Palacio de Isora

Alcalá gives this resort a different position from the Costa Adeje hotel strip. Its large saltwater pool and oceanfront layout suit travellers who want to devote substantial time to the property. It also gives you a village setting for an evening walk, while island excursions still require their own transport planning.

Compare the main resort’s family accommodation with the separate RedLevel product carefully: age conditions and included services differ. Do not assume that a photograph of a private pool or a premium area describes a standard reservation. Check restaurant reservations, the chosen meal plan and the actual room outlook. The dusk pool photograph illustrates the hotel’s atmosphere; it does not promise a particular sunset or access entitlement.

Gran Canaria · Las Palmas · Heritage surroundings for a city break

Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel

Santa Catalina suits a Las Palmas stay where the city and the historic hotel surroundings are part of the appeal. It is a different choice from a southern beach resort: use it to combine city meals, cultural visits and time in the hotel’s gardens rather than treating the whole island as one interchangeable resort area.

Plan the journeys to Vegueta and Las Canteras separately; a Las Palmas address does not place every city attraction outside the door. Read the rate’s room category and any conditions attached to rooftop, spa or other facilities. If a particular dining experience is central to the trip, confirm availability directly. The photograph shows the named hotel after its renovation, not the facilities included with every rate.

Gran Canaria · Meloneras · Large pools, gardens and the coastal boulevard

Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa

Compare Lopesan Costa Meloneras for a substantial resort beside the Meloneras coastal boulevard and Maspalomas lighthouse area. Pools and planted grounds are an important part of the experience, while the nearby promenade offers a straightforward alternative to spending every evening inside the hotel. This southern base serves a different itinerary from Santa Catalina in Las Palmas.

Choose it when resort facilities and coastal walks are daily priorities. Check how far your room sits from the facilities you will actually use, and compare standard categories with any premium-club inclusions. Spa entry and treatments can require advance arrangements and separate payment. A pool photograph should not be read as a room-view promise, and a seafront setting does not remove the need to check the route to your preferred sandy beach.

Gran Canaria · Playa del Inglés · An adults-only stay beside the dune landscape

Hotel Riu Palace Maspalomas – Adults Only

This is the adults-only alternative in the comparison, positioned by the Maspalomas dune landscape at the southern end of Playa del Inglés. The hotel reopened after a major refurbishment in 2021; the accompanying exterior photograph dates from 2025. It is worth considering for an adult holiday combining hotel time with the surrounding resort’s restaurants and walks.

Check the current minimum age before including anyone younger in the party. Dune-side and beachfront descriptions do not tell you the walking effort between a particular room and the water: assess the authorised route and its surface. Stay on permitted paths in the protected dunes. Compare the meal plan and exact room category, especially if a dune or sea outlook is essential to your choice.

Gran Canaria · Central mountains · Mountain views and an inland walking base

Parador de Cruz de Tejeda

Choose Cruz de Tejeda for Gran Canaria’s mountainous interior rather than its southern beaches. The elevated setting is the attraction: the stay can support time in Tejeda and the surrounding high country without making each day a return journey from the coast. The stone exterior also offers a very different hotel atmosphere from a large coastal resort.

Expect mountain roads and a cooler evening than the beach forecast suggests. Match your walks to their actual trailheads and check any controlled access separately. If the spa is a deciding factor, confirm its opening, reservation requirement, age conditions and whether your rate includes entry. This is an inland hotel, so it is less convenient if most of your holiday is intended for daily swimming on the southern coast.

Lanzarote · Arrecife · A capital-city stay beside El Reducto

Arrecife Gran Hotel & Spa

Arrecife Gran Hotel places you beside El Reducto beach in Lanzarote’s capital. Its tower is distinctive on the waterfront, and the location suits travellers who want city meals and an urban seafront alongside island excursions. It is a different proposition from an all-day resort in Playa Blanca or Puerto del Carmen.

Compare sea-facing and city-facing categories rather than assuming every room has the panorama shown in promotional photographs. Ask about parking if hiring a car, because the practical city routine differs from a resort with grounds around it. Check spa access and treatments against the selected rate. For sightseeing days, plan the drive or bus connection to the volcanic and northern cultural sites; staying in the capital does not put them all within walking distance.

Fuerteventura · Corralejo coast · A beach-led stay by the Grandes Playas

Hotel Riu Palace Tres Islas

Tres Islas is a choice for travellers whose daily priority is Fuerteventura’s long northern beaches. Its location by Playa del Pozo and the Corralejo coastline puts the beach landscape ahead of a central-town address. Compare it with a stay in Corralejo itself if evening harbour walks and a larger choice of independent restaurants matter more than spending most of the day beside the shore.

Wind is part of the planning decision here. A beachfront location is valuable for sand and coastal walks, but it cannot promise sheltered swimming on your dates. Check the room’s outlook and meal inclusions, then plan transport into town and to other parts of the island. Families should compare the precise occupancy and children’s facilities for their party rather than relying on a general resort label.

La Palma · Breña Baja · Gardens and an eastern-island touring base

Parador de La Palma

The Parador’s Breña Baja setting is useful to compare for a stay on La Palma’s eastern side, between the airport area and Santa Cruz. White walls, timber details and gardens give it a different character from a waterfront apartment. Consider it when you want a settled hotel base for touring and time in the grounds, rather than immediate access to a resort promenade.

Do not interpret its sea-facing setting as a beachfront address. Check how you will reach Los Cancajos, the capital and your chosen walks; mountain days remain substantial outings. Confirm the outlook guaranteed by your room category and the current availability of any seasonal facilities. When comparing arrival flights, remember that La Palma is the island with airport code SPC, not Las Palmas on Gran Canaria.

La Gomera · San Sebastián · Gardens above the principal ferry-arrival town

Parador de La Gomera

The Parador offers gardens and a quieter setting above San Sebastián, the arrival town for many ferry visitors. Compare it when you want a hotel with a sense of separation from the waterfront while keeping the principal town as your base. Its position makes the approach part of the decision, particularly after a late sailing or an evening meal below.

Arrange the journey from the port rather than assuming a clifftop hotel is equivalent to a harbour-level address. Ask about gradients and the practical route if mobility matters. A walking holiday also needs transport to its chosen valleys and forest trailheads: the arrival town is not next to every walk. Compare ferry and room cancellation terms together when an island connection is central to the stay.

La Gomera · Valle Gran Rey · A promenade base on La Puntilla

Hotel Gran Rey

Hotel Gran Rey sits on the La Puntilla seafront promenade in Valle Gran Rey. This is a western-coast alternative to staying in San Sebastián: it makes local beach walks, the valley and relaxed evenings the daily focus. The hotel’s roof terrace looks towards the sea and mountains, while room outlooks depend on the category selected.

Allow for the cross-island journey if arriving by ferry in San Sebastián. Choose this base because you want to spend time in Valle Gran Rey, not because the map makes all of La Gomera look close. Compare sea and valley views, balcony arrangements and meal plans. For walking days, work out the transport from the valley to the selected start and finish; a promenade hotel cannot remove the island’s steep terrain.

El Hierro · Las Puntas · A small adults-only stay on a lava headland

Hotel Puntagrande

Puntagrande is the most intimate coastal choice in this selection: a small building on a lava tongue at Las Puntas in the El Golfo area. Consider it for the Atlantic setting and a quiet adult stay, rather than the long facilities list of a large resort. Its official policy is adults only, 18+, so it is unsuitable for a family travelling with younger children.

Read the specific room or suite description and check access if stairs or a compact historic layout are a concern. The ocean setting is for scenery, not a promise that the nearby rocks are suitable for swimming. Confirm current dining arrangements directly and plan transport around El Hierro before reserving. The exterior photograph establishes the named building’s setting; it is not a representation of every room’s interior or terrace.

Longer Stays & Costs

For a stay measured in weeks, compare daily life as well as the first night's appeal. Check kitchen equipment, laundry, workspace if needed, noise, heating or cooling and the walk to groceries. A room that works well for a short break may be inconvenient when you need to prepare meals or spend a quiet afternoon indoors.

Separate fixed costs from recurring ones. Arrival flights and transfers happen once, while accommodation, food, local transport and parking recur. Compare offers on the same occupancy and cancellation basis. A weekly or monthly price may have different cleaning, utility, deposit and cancellation conditions from a nightly hotel rate.

Ask the provider what is included in writing before paying. A kitchenette label does not identify the equipment, and a “work-friendly” description does not establish a particular internet speed or suitable desk. If a feature is essential, ask a specific question. For a long stay, the right neighbourhood and daily routine can matter more than the largest pool photograph.

Room and booking checks

Read the room description, not only the property headline. Compare beds, occupancy, balcony, outlook, meal plan and any age or facility restrictions. Check whether taxes and mandatory charges are included in the displayed total. Prices and availability depend on dates and room selection; this guide does not quote a fixed nightly price or promise a discount.

Check the arrival airport or port against the hotel address and allow for a late check-in if needed. If you have a rental car, confirm parking arrangements and any charge. For an island change, include the transfer day in your accommodation plan rather than assuming you can check into the next hotel as soon as a short sailing ends.

Compare the feature you will use every day

Before choosing between properties, name the feature you will use most: a beach route, a quiet room, city dining or access to walking transport. Ask each hotel the same practical question about that feature. This produces a fairer comparison than comparing unrelated photographs or star ratings. Keep the property's answer with the reservation if the detail is essential to your stay.

Canary Islands hotel questions

Should I book a beach resort or a city hotel?

Choose according to the routine you want most days. Costa Adeje or Meloneras suits a resort-led stay; Santa Cruz or Las Palmas changes the emphasis towards city meals and cultural visits. Compare the actual beach route, not only a sea-view label. The Where to Stay guide compares bases before individual properties.

Do I need a rental car at every hotel?

A car can help with scattered trailheads or rural stays, while city parking can add cost without much daily benefit. Plan the airport or port transfer separately and hire only for the useful days. Check the Car Rental guide before choosing a rate.

Which options should families rule out?

Hotel Puntagrande has an 18+ policy, and Riu Palace Maspalomas is adults only. Gran Meliá Palacio de Isora’s main resort and RedLevel categories have different conditions. Enter children’s actual ages and compare the specific room’s occupancy rather than assuming the whole property follows one policy.

Does the photograph guarantee my room’s view or facilities?

No. It identifies the named property and illustrates its setting. Read the selected room and rate for the guaranteed outlook, meal plan and access to premium or seasonal facilities. Confirm an essential feature directly before paying.
