Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa, hotel in Spain
Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa is a large beach hotel in the south of Gran Canaria, in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, sitting directly on the seafront. It has several outdoor pools, gardens with palm trees, and rooms, many of which face the Atlantic Ocean.
The south of Gran Canaria began growing as an international tourist destination in the 1960s and 1970s, when the Spanish government encouraged the development of coastal areas. Meloneras, where the hotel stands, was developed later than nearby Maspalomas and is considered a newer part of this coastal tourism zone.
The hotel stands in Meloneras, a neighborhood built specifically for tourism, with a seafront promenade lined with restaurants, cafes, and shops. In the evenings, this stretch fills with people out for a walk, giving the area a relaxed coastal pace that feels typical of southern Gran Canaria.
The hotel sits at the southern tip of Gran Canaria, easily reached via the main GC-500 road, and the island's airport is a short drive away. The surrounding area has walkable paths along the coast, so many nearby restaurants and the beach can be reached on foot.
The hotel sits right next to the Maspalomas Dunes, a protected area of sand dunes that looks like a desert landscape. From the hotel's promenade, you can walk into the dunes within a few minutes, creating an unusual shift from a hotel setting to a natural reserve.
