A little over a week ago we had the opportunity to stay at the Gran Hotel Atlantis BahĂa Real, a 5 star luxury hotel. Our experience could not have been better, both for how well we were treated and for the magic of the place. Located next to the Corralejo Dunes National Park, in Fuerteventura, it has everything to enchant those who decide to spend a relaxing holiday on an island where it is always spring.
Fuerteventura is a Biosphere Reserve and the Gran Hotel Atlantis BahĂa Real is the only hotel on the island with Biosphere certification, which identifies it as a hotel that respects the environment and sustainable tourism.
The nature of the surroundings and the architecture of the hotel, in neo-Mudejar style with colonial influences, welcome you with the aim of stimulating all your senses through sensations and emotions. When you return home you realise that you are leaving behind more than just a holiday or a hotel. There is a reason why 48% of the clients who stay here year after year are repeat guests…
Luxury rooms
The hotel is distributed in various types of rooms, most of which have beautiful views of the sea with the island of Lobos and Lanzarote as references on the horizon. In addition, the rest of the rooms have no less spectacular views of the lush interior gardens.
The room types are as follows: Double Deluxe, Junior Suite, Atlantic Suite, Bahia Suite and Royal Suite. The latter is the jewel in the crown, with 170 square metres of room and more than 20 square metres of terrace. It enjoys a very complete equipment and all kinds of services 24 hours a day.
We were able to stay in a deluxe double room, and to tell you the truth, we didn’t miss a thing. What impressed us most were the views. Waking up in the morning and seeing the island of Lobos and Lanzarote on the horizon is something that cannot be described in words. In addition, I would also like to make special mention of the many details they had from the moment we first entered the room.
A complete spa
Rest can be found in the hotel room, but a visit to the Spa is even more recommended for relaxation. Its more than 3,000 square metres have been designed for disconnection, to forget the noise of the big city and immerse yourself in a paradise where the only noise you hear is that of the jets of water from the Spa.
Well-being and tranquillity can be found through a series of therapies and body and facial treatments that are an experience in themselves. It is worth mentioning the extensive list of massages and treatments on offer, combining traditional oriental methods with the most innovative cosmetics.
I particularly had the opportunity to receive a body massage with aromatic oils. It was fantastic from the first minute to the last. The atmosphere in the room was very soothing, with low light and relaxing music, all to make you close your eyes and let yourself go.
5 different restaurants to choose from
Fuerteventura’s gastronomy is highly rated, but staying at the Gran Hotel Atlantis BahĂa Real you don’t have to go far to taste the best dishes. The hotel has 5 restaurants of a very high standard, as well as a buffet that is highly appreciated both for the variety and the quality of the food.
La CĂșpula de Carles Gaig is its most famous restaurant. The prestigious Catalan chef, awarded a Michelin star, turns his creations into pleasures for all the senses. Yamatori (the ideal option for lovers of Japanese cuisine), Las Columnas (for those who want to taste good wines and Spanish cuisine), Beach Club Las Palmeras (traditional Mediterranean dishes with luxurious views) and Piano Bar Mirador (for a magical evening listening to good music) complete the offer.
Events
At the Gran Hotel Atlantis BahĂa Real there is also room for business and celebrations. They have welcoming and versatile spaces to cater for all types of personnel. Everything can go off without a hitch in its three function rooms (SalĂłn Real, SalĂłn Imperial and SalĂłn.com).
Weddings are magical. The hotel takes care of everything the client asks for whenever possible. In addition, there is the possibility of getting married just a few metres from the seashore, an experience that I have been told is unforgettable.
A staff of 10
If there is one thing that has caught my attention, it has been the exquisite treatment of the hotel staff. From the first to the last, they make you feel special. They are there for you without making you feel uncomfortable. You feel a warmth and a familiarity that is not often seen in 5 star hotels.
Finally, I invite you to visit its official website, where you can find more information and make your reservation.
