GRAN HOTEL ATLANTIS CANARY ISLANDS

Slide off the sandals and feel Spanish sand crumble beneath your feet as the Atlantic Ocean expands in front of you like a sheet of glass into the nearby islands of Los Lobos and Lanzarote. Gran Hotel Atlantis Bahía Real boasts a white sand beach with sun-kissed dunes, a stone’s throw from Corralejo National Park. Head to Coco Beach Chill Out, where Balinese beds draped in white muslin beckon and staff will keep you refreshed with a steady stream of seafood snacks. Attention to detail is an understatement, as the resort prides itself on personalised services right down to where you’ll snag your next salt-rim margarita at one of the six fine-dining restaurants. Embrace a beachside siesta, evening fiesta, or both, as this turquoise gem provides all the daytime seaweed wraps and night-time salsa dancing you can get your hands on. Shake off the sand and retire to one of 242 luxurious Mediterranean accommodations, complete with eggshell-tiled floors, and, of course, a seaside-sunset view to watch the tide roll in.
