Women's Fitness explores Gran Canaria as a health and wellness, sports, nautical and nature destination

 

A representative from Women's Fitness , a British magazine specializing in fitness, visited Gran Canaria this year to experience the island as a complete destination, offering both relaxation and a variety of outdoor activities. To make this possible, the Gran Canaria Tourism, Gran Canaria Spa, Wellness & Health , Gran Canaria Tri, Bike & Run , Gran Canaria Blue , and Gran Canaria Natural & Active product associations joined forces to design a comprehensive program.

 

With around 200 readers across print and digital formats, Women's Fitness aims to be a go-to guide for women in the UK who want to take care of themselves both physically and mentally through advice, training plans and interviews with industry professionals.

 

This time, the stay on the island was divided between two accommodations that expertly combine their wellness offerings with their sporting side. The first was Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity , a five-star hotel nestled in a tranquil mountain setting. Among its offerings are activities such as yoga and Pilates, as well as the opportunity to run or cycle in the surrounding area. The British journalist had the chance to visit its Be Aloe Wellness center , where she relaxed with a massage infused with Canarian elements.

 

 

In the second half of her trip, she stayed at the family-run Gloria Palace San Agustín Thalasso & Hotel and explored its Thalasso Gloria San Agustín . This thalassotherapy center is one of the most modern in Europe, featuring a seawater circuit with varying temperatures and cutting-edge technology. There, the guest had access to the exclusive Harmony Zone and enjoyed a 50-minute restorative massage. She also took in panoramic coastal views from the Gorbea Chill Out Terrace on the hotel's top floor.

 

 

Moments to enjoy and stay fit

Wanting to stay active throughout her Gran Canaria adventure, she made sure to visit the Free Motion Bikecenter shop in Seaside Sandy Beach to rent all the necessary cycling equipment. From there, she set off on an e-bike tour with one of the guides from this specialized company and discovered the island's sporting attractions.

 

 

To expand on the sporting offerings of Gran Canaria Tri, Bike & Run , the journalist visited Radisson Blu Resort, Gran Canaria , a hotel designed for athletes where she was able to have lunch and experience it firsthand.

 

 

In collaboration with the Gran Canaria Blue association , he enjoyed a morning whale watching from the Port of Mogán aboard Líneas Salmón . To continue his adventures on the Gran Canaria coast, he traveled to Anfi del Mar Beach to discover the water sports activities offered by WaterSports Luis Molina . This company, experienced in adrenaline-pumping water sports, offers activities for all tastes: jet skis, parasailing, flyboarding , and even kayaking, among others.

 

 

 

To conclude the trip, the guest traveled to the foothills of Tamadaba for a guided tour of Finca La Laja & Bodega Los Berrazales . This estate, located in the heart of the Agaete Valley, is over 200 years old and known for its oranges, coffee, and local wines. It is part of the active and nature tourism offerings of Gran Canaria Natural & Active.

 

 

After immersing themselves in the essence of Gran Canaria, the British media was able to understand that it is an island with a wide and varied offer in everything related to health and wellness services, cycle tourism, activities in nature and on the coast. An ideal destination where you can go on an adventure without forgetting to have some time to rest.
