German media enjoy a wellness trip in Gran Canaria

 

Gran Canaria continues to solidify its position as a leading destination for wellness and health tourism thanks to a visit from a group of journalists and representatives from specialized German media outlets. The press trip, organized by Gran Canaria Spa, Wellness & Health in collaboration with the agency MMGY Lieb, took place from September 11th to 15th, 2026, with the aim of showcasing firsthand the diverse experiences the island offers.

 

The group consisted of professionals with a presence in regional media and specialized publications. Participating media outlets included Connoisseur Circle, Münchner Merkur, Mediengruppe Bayern, Glow Magazin, Hilgerlicious Travel Magazine, and Monberge Magazin. Their participation contributes to strengthening Gran Canaria's visibility in various segments of the German market.

 

 

 

During their stay, the participants stayed at the Hotel Cordial Mogán Playa , where they also had access to Inagua Spa & Wellness, enjoying a comprehensive wellness program.

 

 

The program combined relaxation and health experiences with the discovery of some of the island's emblematic landscapes and enclaves, such as the Maspalomas Dunes, one of Gran Canaria's most recognizable natural spaces.

 

 

The experience continued at Seaside Palm Beach , where they took a guided tour to learn about its facilities and services, before enjoying dinner at the hotel itself.

 

Another day was dedicated to connecting with the sea and the environment. The journalists enjoyed a morning at Perchel Beach Club , an oceanfront space designed for relaxation and connecting with the marine environment. The experience was completed with lunch at La Arrocería, the beach club's own restaurant.

 

 

In the afternoon, the group enjoyed a guided tour of the Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity facilities and had the opportunity to indulge in a wellness experience at the Be Aloe Wellness Spa, located within the hotel. The day concluded with dinner at the hotel.

 

 

 

The following day, the participants visited the Gloria Palace San Agustín Thalasso & Hotel , where they explored its thalassotherapy center, Thalasso Gloria – San Agustín, and enjoyed several hours of relaxation and well-being. After this experience, they were welcomed with a cocktail at Gorbea Chill Out Terrace, a space offering panoramic views of San Agustín and Maspalomas. The day concluded with a Mediterranean-inspired menu at Gorbea Restaurant & Chill Out.

 

 

 

Wellness was also combined with a sea-related activity thanks to Gran Canaria Blue 's proposal : a nautical excursion aboard a WaterSports Luis Molina vessel , departing from the Port of Mogán.

 

 

Nature also played a prominent role with visits to Finca Canarias Aloe Vera and Finca Las Orillas , initiatives promoted by Gran Canaria Natural & Active . These experiences allowed participants to discover the island's natural environment and its connection to well-being.

 

 

 

The trip highlighted the island's ability to integrate health, wellness, nature, the sea, gastronomy, and quality accommodation, offering opportunities for relaxation and self-care. It was an experience that leaves behind much more than memories: moments of well-being that will remain in their hearts and that, through their words and posts, will help to promote Gran Canaria as a leading destination for those seeking to feel good.
