The Best Hotels Near Rígolo, by the Record
-
The pale pink façade on León y Castillo has been there since the 19th century, and the marble inside looks like someone polishes it hourly. This grand hotel in Las Palmas holds a Michelin Key and earns it with a rooftop bar, an oceanview infinity pool, a spa, and traditional English afternoon tea served in a wood-paneled salon. Rooms are elegant and compact in that old-money way. Churchill stayed here, which the hotel has presumably never stopped mentioning.

Luxury golf-resort villas on Gran Canaria, where the full-length windows frame fairways and countryside in every direction. Each villa comes with its own kitchen, living and dining room, terrace, and a private cook and waiter, which tips this firmly away from standard resort anonymity. The style runs clean-lined and modernist rather than the usual chintz-and-tartan golf-hotel aesthetic. Private pools are available on request, and the on-site golf academy means you can at least look purposeful.

Four-poster beds draped in dark wood sit behind balconies hemmed in by tropical greenery, and a short walk puts you on the dunes of Maspalomas. This is a slow-living coastal resort on Gran Canaria, the kind of place where the day's big decision is whether to take spa time before or after the pool bar tapas. The restaurant leans Mediterranean, with produce pulled from a nearby farm on the island. Five golf courses sit close by for anyone who needs a reason to leave.

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.
