Spent several days in the calm of Seaside Palm Beach and sailed with Stingray Catamaran by CARLA I

 

Known on social media as @shan.islander, Shantal traveled to Gran Canaria with the intention of disconnecting and reconnecting with herself. To combine the tranquility she sought with her passion for the ocean, the content creator enlisted the support of Gran Canaria Spa, Wellness & Health and Gran Canaria Blue , official brands of Gran Canaria Tourism that share her understanding of well-being and what the coast can offer.

 

Accommodation was one of the key elements of this getaway. With its wide variety of flavors and healthy delicacies, as well as its prime location, Seaside Palm Beach was the chosen spot.

As Shantal discovered the hotel's peaceful corners, tucked away among palm trees, she fell in love with the adults' area for its peace and quiet. She also took the opportunity to share her daily visits to the hotel gym with her community of more than 30 Instagram followers. The innovative Technogym machines have different programs built into the screens, tailored to your fitness level, so that virtual trainers can help make the workout more enjoyable.

 

But it wasn't all going to be relaxing at the hotel. There's an essential element in Shantal's lifestyle: her element is water. Therefore, she dedicated a very special morning to sailing on the WaterSports Luis Molina catamaran : Stingray by CARLA I. During the crossing, she was able to borrow a paddleboard and paddles to connect with the Atlantic Ocean and enjoy nature's little gifts.

With her gaze fixed on the horizon, Shantal Islander didn't miss the opportunity to stroll through the colorful streets of Puerto de Mogán once they docked. She also didn't hesitate to take advantage of Seaside Palm Beach's proximity to the Maspalomas Dunes Special Nature Reserve. Dawn runs or peaceful strolls along the beach were just some of the moments she enjoyed the beauty of this unique setting.

These kinds of trips, meant to rest the body and mind, are truly healing. Reminiscing about the sea breeze of Gran Canaria and recharged, Shantal said goodbye to the island until she could feel its energy again.
