H2: A celebrity hideaway in Las Palmas
Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, sits a short walk from the marina in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. Housed in a 19th‑century building, the hotel keeps original grandeur — high ceilings, chandeliers and neo‑classical rooms — while offering modern comforts. Over the years it has attracted royals and movie stars; most recently actor Jude Law stayed while filming on the island.
H3: How to book and what to expect
The hotel is available through TUI for package bookings. Sample fares published for 2026 show a seven‑night family holiday in April from around £958pp (includes flights from London Luton with easyJet) — prices vary by season and room type. If you want rooftop access, note that the Alis rooftop bar and infinity pool are reserved for junior suite guests.
H3: Pools, spa and active options
Santa Catalina offers two outdoor pools set in pretty gardens, plus an indoor heated pool in the spa. The spa features a whirlpool, sauna and treatment rooms with sea‑salt and vanilla oil peels, facials and massages. For sport, there’s a tennis court next door that guests can use for an extra fee.
H2: Dining — from buffet to Michelin green star
The Doramas restaurant serves buffet breakfasts and live show‑cooking including a ‘Royal Breakfast’ option. For fine dining, MuXgo — a green Michelin star eatery — showcases Canarian flavours with a focus on sustainability. Other outlets include Poemas (à la carte), Camarote snack bar and the Carabela bar for cocktails. The Alis rooftop bar pairs drinks with sunset views and the infinity pool.
H3: Rooms and experiences
Rooms range from neo‑classical Deluxe Doubles to suites with separate living areas and bathrooms featuring tubs and rain showers. Junior suites gain exclusive rooftop pool access. Entertainment runs daily: live piano Monday to Saturday and a singer on Sundays, keeping evenings relaxed and hotel‑style.
H4: Why it appeals to travellers
The blend of history, celebrity cachet and modern facilities makes the Santa Catalina attractive for travellers who want a refined stay with island convenience. Its location near Las Palmas marina means easy access to local dining and beaches while still enjoying quiet hotel grounds.
H5: Book smart
Check TUI’s current packages and dates for the best deals, and confirm rooftop pool access if that’s a priority — it’s typically tied to junior suite bookings. For travellers chasing a celebrity‑style getaway, Santa Catalina remains one of Gran Canaria’s most iconic hotels.
