Seaside Palm Beach

The Maspalomas sand dunes sit just outside the door, which is either the reason you came or a very convenient excuse. From the outside, this 328-room resort looks like every other concrete horseshoe that survived the sixties, but a French architect's redesign swapped the shag carpets for bold color, glam accents, and actual art objects. Spacious balconies, a lagoon pool, an extensive wellness retreat, and a dinner buffet round things out.
