Hotel Faro, a Lopesan Collection Hotel

On the Lighthouse square

The Hotel Faro is on Plaza de Colón, right in front of the Maspalomas Lighthouse, at the end of the promenade that comes from Meloneras. Maspalomas beach and the dunes begin a few steps away; the Charca is five minutes' walk. It is the most convenient base if you arrive without a car: the Faro bus station, where the Global lines from Las Palmas end, is next door.

The hotel

It belongs to the Lopesan collection, for over-18s only, with 179 rooms. It has two pools: the main one, on the ground floor, of 232 m², and the Sky Lounge infinity pool, on the roof, of 36 m², with views of the dunes and the lighthouse. There are three restaurants, among them Ocean, with a buffet and dinners, and Callao, a Mediterranean grill, and four bars, such as the SURU Cocktail Bar, the Rooftop Faro and the Erizo, by the pool.

Prices

The website publishes the deluxe double from €286 a night, the superior double from €371 and the junior suite from €666. It also offers a day pass to the rooftop from €40 per person.

Getting there

By car, take the GC-1 south, exit 46 and the avenidas Touroperador Tui and Cristóbal Colón to the Lighthouse square. By bus, Global line 50 leaves the San Telmo station in Las Palmas and ends at the Maspalomas Lighthouse.
