Lopesan Baobab Resort  

In Meloneras, in the south of Gran Canaria — a five-star resort a short walk from Maspalomas Beach, the sand dunes and the famous lighthouse. Steps from the Meloneras promenade and ExpoMeloneras Convention Centre, this is family-friendly luxury in a prime coastal spot.

Architecture inspired by the African continent gives the place bold, ethnic-chic vibes. Water is everywhere: an extensive water sheet linked by bridges, nine heatable pools (4,245 m² total), a lazy river, two artificial beaches, pools with waterfalls and caves, plus baby and kids pools. The hotel has 677 air-conditioned rooms with balconies or terraces, minibars, LED TVs and rainfall showers. An exclusive "Unique by Lopesan" service offers elevated perks for select guests.

Dive into nine outdoor pools and the lazy river. Recharge at the spa and massage rooms, or hit the gym and fitness center. Kids get a club, arcade and dedicated pools. On-site fun includes mini-golf, a diving club, daily entertainment and excursion/tour assistance. Poolside bars, 24-hour reception, laundry and paid parking keep things easy.

A full business center and 1,000 m² of event space with six meeting rooms handle conferences and events. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Meeting support, 24-hour front desk and nearby convention facilities make group travel smooth.

Four restaurants — including Marula — plus themed buffets and select à la carte options form the Lopesan Gastro Experience. International and varied culinary choices are on offer. Buffet breakfasts are served (fee applies), there are pool bars and a bar/lounge, and 24-hour room service is available.
