The Best Spa Hotels in Gran Canaria for a Wellness Getaway
Gran Canaria isn’t just a sun-and-sand destination.

From hydrotherapy circuits and relaxation areas to massages and treatments, the Princess hotels in Gran Canaria offer plenty of ways to bring wellness into your holiday — whether you’re travelling as a family, as a couple, or looking for an adults-only setting.

Spa hotels in Maspalomas
The south of Gran Canaria is home to the island’s largest concentration of wellness offerings. The Maspalomas Dunes, the climate and the pools at the Princess resorts create the perfect setting for genuine relaxation.
Maspalomas Princess and Tabaiba Princess: wellness for families
Maspalomas Princess and Tabaiba Princess sit side by side and share the same spa facilities. Two 4-star all-inclusive hotels designed with families in mind, featuring a water park, tropical gardens and an exclusive adults-only area within the resort itself.
Spa and treatments to switch off
The circuit facilities include:
- An indoor wellness pool (15 m²) with freshwater at 35°C, featuring two hydromassage loungers, massage jets and a waterfall.
- Two Finnish saunas and a steam room.
- A bi-thermal shower and cascading shower.
- An ice fountain and salt cabin.
The treatment menu — provided through a specialist service within the hotel, bookable in advance — includes relaxing, sports and aromatherapy massages, combined circuit-and-treatment rituals, facials (express facial, deep cleansing) and body treatments. Hairdressing, manicures and pedicures are also available for an additional charge. Opening hours: 10am to 7pm.
Wellness on an All Inclusive holiday
Combining the spa with an All Inclusive stay is one of the biggest draws of these hotels. With meals and daily expenses taken care of, the day naturally falls into rhythm: spa in the morning, pools and beach in the afternoon, dinner included as the sun goes down.
Pools and relaxation areas
Maspalomas Princess and Tabaiba Princess boast extensive pool areas surrounded by tropical greenery. Maspalomas Princess has a water park for younger guests, alongside several outdoor pools. The Maspalomas Dunes are just a short walk away, and the resort’s natural beach rounds off a stay where you needn’t leave the hotel to unwind.
Adults-only area
Although these are family hotels, both feature an exclusive area for guests aged 18 and over: a chill-out bar, Balinese beds, a heated pool with massage jets and a swimming lane against the current. A tranquil space within the resort for those seeking relaxation without giving up the family atmosphere.
Gran Canaria Princess: adults-only wellness in Playa del Inglés
Gran Canaria Princess is an adults-only hotel (+16) located in Playa del Inglés. Its outdoor wellness area is free for guests to use, available daily from 10am to 6pm.
Spa and treatments to switch off
The facilities include:
- 4 hydromassage jacuzzis (for individual or couple use).
- Sauna and steam room.
- 8 Balinese beds in the outdoor relaxation area.
- An open-air rest area.
Treatments come at an additional cost and are booked directly at the spa. The menu includes relaxing, sports and facial massages, plus body treatments: exfoliation, wraps and deep facial cleansing. Booking is recommended.
Wellness area and gym
The gym is fully equipped with cardio and strength-training zones, free for guests to use. Located within the hotel’s own wellness area, it makes it easy to combine a workout with relaxation in the same space.
Pools and relaxation areas
The hotel has outdoor pools and relaxation areas with sun loungers and hammocks. Its location in Playa del Inglés puts both the beach and the south of the island’s dining and entertainment scene just a short walk away.
Adults only
Gran Canaria Princess is exclusively for guests aged 16 and over, which means a peaceful atmosphere throughout the hotel — pools, restaurants and relaxation areas — with no children around. Ideal for those seeking uninterrupted rest.
Spa hotels in Taurito
The bay of Taurito, in the municipality of Mogán, is one of the most peaceful spots in the south of Gran Canaria: calm waters, a gentle microclimate and an atmosphere far removed from the crowds. None of the three Princess hotels in the area has a water circuit, but all of them offer a gym, sauna and treatment menu. Here, the pools, the All Inclusive package and the beach just steps away take centre stage.
TUI Blue Suite Princess
TUI Blue Suite Princess is an adults-only hotel (+16) right on Taurito beach, designed for couples, with private balconies and panoramic views over the bay.
Its Wellness Area — next to the direct beach access — brings together a sauna, gym, massage cabins and a relaxation zone. The gym and sauna are open from 8am to 8pm, no booking required. It’s not a nudist facility: swimwear and a towel are required.
Treatments are booked at Hall 1, with service available from 9.30am to 5.30pm. The menu includes Swedish, aromatherapy, sports, Lomi Lomi and Ayurvedic massages, couples’ experiences, facials and body treatments. A comprehensive relaxation offering, complemented by pools with views over the bay and the hotel’s intimate atmosphere.
Princess Taurito
Princess Taurito is a family hotel right on the beachfront, with tropical gardens and sea views. Its Gym & Sauna are free to use: the gym is open from 7am to 6pm with sea views, and the sauna keeps the same hours. Children cannot use the sauna and must be accompanied by an adult in the gym.
The treatment menu, bookable in advance, includes massages (Swedish, aromatherapy, sports, Lomi Lomi, Ayurvedic, reflexology, oriental), couples’ experiences, facials, body exfoliations, manicures, pedicures and waxing.
The real value of Princess Taurito lies in its surroundings: the beach just metres away, pools with sea views, the tropical garden and the All Inclusive package. A hotel where rest doesn’t need grand facilities to feel complete.
Princess Mogán & Beach Club
Princess Mogán offers massage services. Without a thermal circuit or an extensive wellness area, its approach to wellbeing is simple and honest. What sets it apart is the setting: the picturesque Puerto de Mogán just minutes away, pools with a relaxed atmosphere and an unhurried holiday pace. Ideal for anyone looking to switch off, plain and simple.
Adults-only spa hotels in Gran Canaria
If you’re after a wellness experience without children around, Princess has two adults-only hotels in Gran Canaria: Gran Canaria Princess (Playa del Inglés, +16) and TUI Blue Suite Princess (Taurito, +16). Two different takes on setting and style of wellness, with one thing in common: a peaceful atmosphere throughout the hotel, no exceptions.
Gran Canaria Princess stands out for its free outdoor wellness area — jacuzzis, sauna, steam room, Balinese beds — and its location right at the heart of the island’s south. TUI Blue Suite Princess is all about the intimacy of Taurito, couples’ massages, and bay views that are therapeutic in their own right.
Which one to choose for a wellness getaway as a couple?
It depends on the kind of getaway you’re after:
- Gran Canaria Princess — a spacious, free wellness area in the lively setting of Playa del Inglés. For couples who want to combine spa time with dining and a bit of life outside the hotel.
- TUI Blue Suite Princess — intimacy, bay views and outdoor couples’ massages. For genuinely switching off in a calm, romantic setting.
- Maspalomas Princess / Tabaiba Princess — although not adults-only, the spa welcomes guests from age 18, the hydrotherapy circuit is comprehensive, and the adults’ chill-out area has its own appeal. With the Maspalomas Dunes just a few steps away, it’s a solid alternative for couples who don’t need an exclusive hotel.
Gran Canaria as a wellness holiday destination
Wellness in Gran Canaria goes well beyond the spa. The island itself invites you to unwind — the climate, the landscape and the pace of life do the work for you.
Pools and outdoor spaces
Every Princess hotel in Gran Canaria has extensive pool areas, some with massage jets, sun loungers and spaces to relax in the sun. A morning by the pool with All Inclusive on hand is, in itself, a complete rest experience.
Yoga and other activities
Several Princess hotels run wellness activities throughout the day: yoga, stretching, aqua gym, Zumba or Pilates, organised by the entertainment team. Staying active without giving up on rest is entirely possible.
Dining
A buffet alongside speciality restaurants — Canarian, Italian, Asian cuisine — all included in the All Inclusive package. Chill-out bars and sunset terraces are a natural part of the wellness experience.
Beach and nature
Playa del Inglés, the Maspalomas Dunes, Taurito beach, Puerto de Mogán and the Dunas Nature Reserve are all just metres from the Princess hotels. Direct beach access and the chance to walk through protected natural spaces are part of what makes Gran Canaria such a complete wellness destination.
Climate: when’s the best time to go
Gran Canaria enjoys one of the most stable climates in Europe: mild temperatures between 18°C and 26°C all year round, with very little rain. There’s no bad time for a wellness getaway. Winter and spring bring a quieter atmosphere, while in summer the sea breeze takes the edge off the heat and the beaches are at their best.
If you’re after a holiday where rest and wellbeing take centre stage, the Princess hotels in Gran Canaria offer the perfect combination. Explore the options and find the getaway that suits you best.
