La Hacienda del Buen Suceso, Spain

• A unique setting: See another side to Gran Canaria with a stay at La Hacienda del Buen Suceso, hidden away in the island’s tropical-like interior among acre-upon-acre of banana plantations. As its name suggests, this place is built in grand hacienda style – painted a sunny yellow and boasting graceful archways and pillars.

• A historic escape: Dating all the way back to 1572 and the oldest hacienda on the island, you could almost be somewhere in the heart of South America rather than the Canary Isles. The hotel’s owners also run a botanical garden not far away, so the grounds are planted with exotic plants, trees and flowers.

• A spot of R&R: Cool off from the hot Spanish sun in the outdoor pool, or head inside for a relaxing soak in the Jacuzzi or Turkish bath. You can also treat yourself to a selection of specialised massages, or head to the gym to burn off some energy. The guest rooms are just as relaxing and sensitively designed in keeping with the building’s age - think exposed brick, beamed ceilings, hardwood floors and elegant canopied beds.
