Gran Hotel Atlantis Bahía Real: paradise exists

1
The GHABR is a hotel that differs from many hotels in the Canary Islands for reasons that make it one of the best in Spain and Europe. It is a very special hotel that is surrounded by a privileged environment, that of the Natural Park of the Dunes of Corralejo, in Fuerteventura . We had the opportunity to experience what it feels like in the first person and the truth is that we have an unforgettable memory, difficult to erase.

Qualified as a 5-star Grand Luxury , it has the ability to relax all customers, who by the way come not only from Spain, but also from other countries such as England, Germany and Holland.

Whatever the time of year chosen to stay, the tranquility that is breathed is maximum, something that allows it to be one of the best valued hotels both in our country and in the old continent. In addition, in Fuerteventura we could say that it is always spring, so the good weather sneaks through the premises of the Atlantis Bahía Real to intoxicate all the guests.

Fuerteventura is a Biosphere Reserve and the Gran Hotel Atlantis Bahía Real is the only hotel on the island that has the Biosphere certification . Caring for the environment and a commitment to sustainable tourism are two of its basic pillars.

The architecture , in a neo-Mudejar style and with colonial influences, adapts perfectly to the natural environment that surrounds it, so it can be said that it is fully integrated. Artistic murals and frescoes, lush natural gardens and handcrafted stained glass windows serve to put the finishing touch to an ensemble that elevates it to the category of five-star great luxury.

The hotel was inaugurated in November 2003 and since then it has become a benchmark. Its updated hospitality model, supported by the sensations, stimuli and emotions of its customers, is summarized in a figure that speaks for itself: 48% of the customers who stay year after year are repeaters.

Vital Bay Spa

Relaxing in the rooms or on the beach is fine, but where one truly feels like in the clouds is at the Bahía Vital Spa , a huge complex with more than 3,000 square meters of extension that abstracts you from the noise of the city so that leave stress behind.

Well-being and tranquility are two fundamental premises in its 17 rooms . They offer a great selection of facial and body treatments and therapies that leave you feeling like new. In addition, they have a long list of massages and treatments that wonderfully combine traditional oriental techniques with the latest in cosmetic-related methods.

We had the opportunity to try two massages, one for the whole body with aromatic oils and the other with stones . I can’t tell you much about the latter because I wasn’t the lucky one who received it, but from what I’ve been told I can assure you that it’s going very well.

Of which I personally received, I can speak, or rather praise. One of the workers at the Bahía Vital Spa was in charge of relaxing all my muscles, starting with the legs and ending with the arms. The room in which they gave me the massage gave off an aroma that transported you to another world, the lighting was dim and music was heard in the background that couldn’t be more relaxing. Altogether it was as if you were dreaming . But no, when you woke up you realized that you left the room almost floating , with the feeling that something very good had happened.

It uses the best products to present them in unforgettable classic and modern dishes that are served to delight the customer.

A luxury staff

In closing, and as a personal opinion outright, I would like to rave about the hotel staff, from the first employee to the last. Everything is smiles and the attention is constant, but without being annoying. You feel cared for thanks to the excellent human and personal treatment they give you, something that will certainly have a lot to do with your success.

It is a luxurious but warm hotel at the same time, two adjectives that often do not go hand in hand. In this case yes, because from the first minute to the last you are very clear that you are the protagonist .
