Every year, tour operator TUI selects the most outstanding hotels in key tourist destinations, based on travelers' own reviews and experiences. In the 2025 edition, the Canary Islands shine brightly, highlighting their luxury hotel offerings. Among the 100 best hotels in the world selected by TUI, 15 are located in the Canary Islands, consolidating the archipelago as a global tourism benchmark. Gran Canaria, and Maspalomas in particular, emerges as the star of this ranking, with six of its properties earning recognition from international travelers.
Gran Canaria is not only one of the most beloved islands, but Maspalomas, the epicenter of quality tourism on the island, once again demonstrates its seductive power with first-class accommodations. The Hotel Riu Palace Maspalomas, Riu Palace Meloneras, and Riu Palace Palmeras are clear examples of excellence, with their unparalleled location and a range of services that captivate those seeking a luxury experience. The Hotel Santa Mónica Suites, with its unique character and attention to detail, completes this impressive selection of establishments in the area.
But Maspalomas's reputation isn't limited to these landmarks. Other hotels in the area, such as the Club Suites Maspalomas and the adults-only Hotel Nayra, continue to offer unparalleled experiences to travelers seeking relaxation, exclusivity, and comfort in the heart of southern Gran Canaria.
Tenerife, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura are also represented, with hotels such as the Hotel Tigaiga in Tenerife, the Hotel Lava Beach in Lanzarote, and the INNside by Meliá Fuerteventura, consolidating the region as a diverse and high-quality destination. However, it is the south of Gran Canaria that takes the cake this year, confirming its leadership in high-end tourism in the Canary Islands.
The TUI ranking of the best hotels is not only an indicator of service quality, but also further proof of the Canary Islands' undeniable appeal on the international tourism scene. The archipelago, with its unique offering of sun, sea, nature, and culture, remains a favorite destination for the most discerning travelers, and Maspalomas, with its iconic hotels, remains the beating heart of this exceptional tourist destination.
