Parador de Cruz de Tejeda

Perched around 1,500 m above sea level in Vega de San Mateo, Parador de Cruz de Tejeda sits amid pine woods, cliffs and ravines with sweeping caldera views. You’re a short drive from the village of Tejeda and lookouts like Mirador Pico de la Gorra, with easy access to Roque Bentayga and local archaeological sites. A perfect base for mountain hikes and family-friendly escapes on Gran Canaria.

Rooms are warm and simple, with air conditioning, minibars and private bathrooms (shower/tub combos and bidets). Many rooms frame the dramatic caldera and ravines; some spots even catch long-distance ocean views. The hotel blends classic Parador architecture with cozy interiors and accessible features like elevators.

Spa and wellness are front and center — think full-service treatments, massage rooms, sauna and solarium — plus indoor and outdoor pools that edge toward pine woods. There’s a fitness center, kids’ playroom and an arcade/game room. Practical perks include free self-parking, EV charging in operation, and complimentary wired and wireless internet so you can stream or share the morning view.

High-speed wired and wireless internet keeps you connected. Concierge service and a 24-hour front desk make logistics easy, and free self-parking is onsite.

Dine on local Canarian flavors in the on-site restaurant, grab snacks or coffee in the café, or unwind at the bar/lounge. Buffet breakfasts are served daily (8:00–10:00 AM for a fee), and limited-room-service rounds out the options.
