Hotel Puerto de las Nieves

A spa hotel in the port

The Hotel Puerto de las Nieves is a family-run four-star hotel in Puerto de las Nieves itself, a few minutes' walk from the quay, the chapel and the Las Salinas pools. Turismo de Gran Canaria places it on Calle Alcalde José de Armas. It is the choice for sleeping by the sea without touching the car: you dine in the port, watch the sunset over the cliff and in the morning swim in the rock pools.

Rooms

According to the official listing, all of them are soundproofed. There are twelve doubles with a large terrace, with two sun loungers, two chairs and a parasol, facing the sunsets over the port; doubles with a sitting area; and junior suites that sleep up to five people, useful for a family. The hotel has a buffet dining room, a café, an à la carte restaurant and private parking.

The spa

The Spa Las Nieves has a water circuit with pressure jets, a counter-current swimming lane, bubble beds, a jacuzzi and a contrast pool, plus massages, mud and seaweed wraps and beauty treatments. It admits up to 25 people at a time. Ask when booking about the hours and whether it is included.

Getting there

By car, about 40 minutes from Las Palmas along the GC-2. Without a car, Global bus line 103 goes right to Puerto de las Nieves. From the hotel you can walk to the Nieves chapel and the Las Salinas pools.
