Puerto del Carmen


The smart, art-lined lobby with free water refills spells something different at this original, welcoming resort, 4km northeast of central Puerto del Carmen. Murals, sculptures and other pieces by visiting international artists grace the walls, and 70% of energy comes from green sources. Most apartments are simple, comfortable and well-equipped, while the fabulous Telúrica and Oceánica suites are contemporary-design jewels.
