Rural hotels in Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is a little known destination for rural tourism. Rather the opposite: a sun and beach destination. The good news is that we have both. The island has a lot to offer. In addition, even residents have the option to organize a weekend getaway to another side of the Gran Canaria and relax in the nature. In the following lines we are going to mention 10 rural hotels in Gran Canaria that you cannot miss.
1) Parador Cruz de Tejeda, Tejeda
Tejeda is a 100% inland municipality on the island. In this municipality we find several rural hotels. One of them belongs to the network of Paradores in Spain. In other words, charming rural hotels due to their unique location in natural settings and / or historical character. We recommend a getaway to the Parador of Cruz de Tejeda to enjoy its hanging pool overlooking Roque Bentayga and Roque Nublo, the Sacred Mountains of Gran Canaria.
2) Rural Hotel Las Tirajanas, San Bartolomé de Tirajana
This rural hotel is also located in an idyllic location. The views from here to the mountains of San Bartolomé de Tirajana and surroundings are spectacular. It is very close to the town of Tunte.
3) Hacienda del Buen Suceso, Arucas
If anything differentiates the rural landscape of the Canary Islands from the rest of the world, it is the banana trees. The Canary banana is a symbol for the islands and, of course, an indispensable food. At Hacienda del Buen Suceso you can stay among banana trees. Also a few minutes by car you have the town of Arucas.
4) Redondo de Guayedra, Agaete
El Redondo de Guayedra is a rural hotel perfectly integrated into the landscape that makes up the ravine of the same name. A few meters away we also have the Sotavento and Guayedra beaches. In this area of the island there is much to do and see: the Puerto de Las Nieves, El Charco Azul, etc. The sunset and the views of Tenerife from here are a spectacle.
5) Rural Hotel Maipez THe Senses Collection, Santa Brígida
This hotel is chosen for weddings because of its beautiful surroundings and common areas. It is a few steps from the Jardín Canario.
