Casa León Royal Retreat  

Perched on Monte León in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, this boutique ocean-side retreat offers sweeping views of the sea and the Maspalomas dunes. You're a short drive from Palmitos Park, Aqualand Maspalomas, Maspalomas Lighthouse and Maspalomas Beach. The property is pet-friendly and built for low-key luxury and spa escapes.

Just 25 individually decorated rooms with minibars (some complimentary items), flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, safes and desks. Private bathrooms have showers and toiletries, and housekeeping runs daily. The vibe is casual Mediterranean luxury — a fireside lobby, a terrace with dune views and a small, luxury spa. Daily wellbeing classes like yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and aqua sessions keep the pace restorative.

Soak in a heated infinity pool and year-round Jacuzzi, then hit the outdoor tennis court or the fitness center. Spa offerings include massages, body treatments and facials. Play options range from shuffleboard, billiards and outdoor chess to an arcade and a cozy fireplace lounge. A complimentary beach shuttle makes sand-and-surf easy, while concierge, poolside bar, laundry/dry cleaning and free self-parking add practical comfort.

A business center and complimentary wired and wireless internet keep you connected. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

On-site Casa León restaurant focuses on Mediterranean and regional natural cuisine. Grab cocktails at the poolside bar or the fireside bar on the terrace as the dunes light up. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 8:00–10:00 AM, with limited room service available.
