Hotel Riu Palace Maspalomas is ideally located in Maspalomas, directly adjacent to the iconic Maspalomas dunes, offering spectacular views of both the dunes and the Atlantic Ocean. Guests can reach the beach with a scenic 10–15 minute walk through the dunes or opt for the nearby Playa del Inglés for easier access to the sea.

The hotel is conveniently located approximately 25 minutes by car from the airport, while public transportation takes around 40 minutes, making it easily accessible for travelers.

This adults only property is an excellent choice for guests seeking a relaxing or romantic getaway. The hotel’s modern design and tranquil atmosphere create an elegant setting tailored to couples and adults looking for comfort and privacy.

Hotel Riu Palace Maspalomas offers a wide range of high quality facilities designed to enhance the guest experience. These include a spa and wellness center, several outdoor swimming pools, a fully equipped fitness center, and multiple restaurants offering varied dining options.

The rooms are modern, well-appointed, and designed with comfort in mind, featuring private balconies, air conditioning, and complimentary WiFi.

Things to Consider

– Some guests may experience occasional noise due to live music, thin walls, or limited sound insulation in certain rooms.

– Complimentary bottled water is not provided, and use of the in-room safe is subject to a daily fee and no Minibar in room.

– Sun loungers by the pools can fill up quickly, with some guests reserving them early despite official policies discouraging this practice; enforcement may vary.

– Parking is not available in the hotel itself, however parking is available on the streets near by.

Transparency note: I visited this hotel in person and combined my review with additional research, but did not stay overnight.
