Today is a perfect opportunity to relax at the hotel and make the most of its facilities, including the outdoor swimming pool, wellness centre, and roof terrace. You may also choose to enjoy a leisurely walk or explore the local area at your own pace.
If you plan to visit nearby places of interest, please keep in mind that most shops and supermarkets will be closed due to the public holiday on 25 December 2026. However, some restaurants in key tourist areas may remain open. Christmas Day in the Canary Islands is typically a quieter occasion, centred around family time following the main celebrations on Christmas Eve.
Suggested Places to Visit:
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: Take the bus to the island’s capital, Las Palmas. This vibrant port city is known for its UNESCO-listed old quarter and its expansive sandy beaches. Wander through its charming side streets and enjoy a relaxed lunch or tapas at one of the many cafés.
Playa de La Aldea: Travel by bus to this peaceful resort on the western side of the island. Its long stretch of pebble beach is lined with bars and restaurants, offering a scenic and tranquil spot to unwind.
