Gran Canaria’s connection to health and wellness stretches back to the mid-19th century, when European doctors began directing patients to the island for its restorative climate. The combination of sun, sea, sand, and thermal waters – remarkably concentrated in one destination – quickly made it a hub for health tourism.
Building on this legacy, modern expertise has shaped a comprehensive wellness offering. Today, the island features specialised spa centres and advanced thalassotherapy treatments that meet the expectations of even the most discerning visitor.
An island of serenity and top-tier stays
Our journey through Gran Canaria’s standout wellness experiences begins in the south, home to some of its most celebrated beaches. In Mogán, Hotel Cordial Mogán Playa remains a reference point for wellbeing. Designed like a traditional Canarian village with nine low-rise buildings, it feels intimate despite its size. The property also features a chapel and a botanical garden with more than 450 species woven through its paths and pools.

Its Inagua Spa & Wellness includes treatment rooms illuminated by natural light, garden views, and a flotarium pool with high-salinity water that lets guests float effortlessly, warmed by the southern sun.
Nearby, the Cordial Mogán Valle Apartments sit within subtropical gardens and offer three pools, a solarium, and the relaxing Salinas Spa & Wellness.
Gloria Palace San Agustín Thalasso & Hotel
The seafront Cordial Santa Águeda Resort complements its privileged location with elegant holiday homes in a comfortable, family-oriented setting. Guests enjoy two infinity pools – one above the reception area and another at Perchel Beach Club – as well as the Callao Spa & Wellness, which focuses on organic treatments and includes a steam bath, sauna, and leisure pool.
Further south, Seaside Sandy Beach lies just steps from the renowned Playa del Inglés. Its Arab-inspired architecture and lush greenery create a calm, sheltered ambience. Beyond its heated saltwater pool with hydromassage jets, its tenth-floor Spa & Wellness centre offers sweeping views and a private terrace with a jacuzzi.
Also from the Seaside group, Seaside Palm Beach sits beside the Maspalomas Dunes Nature Reserve and is framed by palm groves. With its striking 1970s-inspired design, it offers three heated pools (two saltwater) and a refined Spa & Wellness area. Signature treatments include Pantai Luar, a Far Eastern massage with herbal pouches ideal for relieving tension.
Nearby, the Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia – rated five-star Gran Lujo – stands among tropical gardens close to Maspalomas Beach. Its colonial-style architecture complements its extensive spa, which includes a heated saltwater pool with hydromassage jets, a Finnish sauna, salt cave, ice fountain, and sensation shower, along with aromatherapy, massages, and beauty treatments.

Continuing on, the Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity blends its architecture into the natural surroundings, using materials and lines that echo the landscape. Just minutes from the coast, the resort unfolds across stepped terraces with multiple outdoor pools, including a sunset-facing infinity pool with views of the sea and mountains. This area is also home to Balinese beds that invite long hours of quiet relaxation. The resort’s Be Aloe Wellness spa is another highlight, featuring treatments that use its own Aloe Vera.
Another landmark for wellness travellers is the Gloria Palace San Agustín Thalasso & Hotel, located between San Agustín and Las Burras beaches. Its thalassotherapy centre, spanning 7,000 m², is one of Europe’s most comprehensive, offering an exceptional range of treatments designed for deep rest and recovery.

Between Puerto Rico and Amadores beaches, Gloria Palace Amadores Thalasso & Hotel rises seamlessly from the cliffs with panoramic ocean views. Its 1,800 m² thalassotherapy centre features a hydrotherapy circuit with seawater at various temperatures, designed to care for the skin and support overall wellbeing.
Facing Amadores Beach, the Gloria Palace Royal Hotel & Spa stands out with its natural-stone architecture. Its heated infinity pool blends visually with the ocean, while the spa offers hot-stone treatments and complimentary hydromassage stations.
