Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa

Standard rooms come with air conditioning, satellite TV, a marble bathroom and a balcony or terrace. If you're travelling as a couple and want a bit more breathing room, or you're the one organising a society trip and want to upgrade a few key rooms, the junior suites and suites are the step up. The extra space makes a difference when you're storing clubs, hanging damp gear after a round and spreading out over a week.

Food-wise, you're covered for a week-long stay, with buffet dining for convenience and à la carte options when you want a change of pace. The buffet stations are themed and rotate through the week, covering local Canarian dishes alongside international staples, so there's enough variety to keep things interesting. The à la carte restaurants require booking, but it's worth doing at least once if you're staying longer than a few nights.

Drinks are easy too, with two main bars, four pool bars and a dedicated beer bar, which is exactly what you want when the group drifts back in at different times. Board options may include half-board or all-inclusive, depending on the package you choose, so it's worth checking what's included when you book.

The Gran Spa Corallium is the headline extra. It's built around a hydrothermal circuit and a menu of treatments that suits golfers who want to loosen up after 18, or simply book a non-golf day that still feels like part of the holiday. The circuit itself is designed around the island's volcanic origins, with different temperature pools, steam rooms and sensory showers that work well for flushing out tired legs. Hydrotherapy and chromotherapy treatments are available, alongside a full menu of massages and beauty options if you're travelling with non-golfers who want a proper spa day.

The outdoor pool is where most guests end up between rounds, soaking up the year-round sunshine that makes Gran Canaria such a reliable winter escape. There's enough lounger space that you're not fighting for a spot, even when the resort is busy, and the pool bars mean you don't have to move far for a cold drink.

The airport is around 35 kilometres away and transfers can be arranged as part of your package. Most trips include return transfers, and the journey takes around 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. If you're hiring a car to play multiple courses across the island, there's parking on-site and the main routes to the other courses are straightforward.
