The hotel , the second in Europe from the luxury resort brand Paradisus by Meliá , aims
to reinvent the traditional “ all inclusive ” concept , innovating and transforming it through new experiences linked to the destination ’ s nature and exploring everything it has to offer .
Under the slogan , “ Embrace Your Nature ”, Meliá Hotels International offers an authentic cultural immersion into each of the places where its hotels are located .
With hotels in Mexico and the Dominican Republic , the Paradisus by Meliá philosophy comes alive at Paradisus Salinas Lanzarote and Paradisus Gran Canaria , which opened in May .
Designed by Fernando Higueras and César Manrique , the building combines rationalist architecture by Higueras with murals , pool and garden design by the Canarian artist and painter .
Over 40 years ago , Higueras took over the principal building with the idea that the concrete , formwork , and geometry of the folds and their monumental emphasis blend seamlessly with the surrounding nature and environment . In turn , Manrique took charge of the hotel ’ s swimming pool , with a surface of 1,800m2 , of the spectacular tropical gardens , home to more than 300 vegetable species , and of the frescos and sculptures that bring colour and warmth to the building and its interiors .
In 1979 , the hotel was awarded the International Prize for Architecture . Today , following a complete renovation and redecoration of the spaces , Paradisus Salinas Lanzarote is a luxury 5 * adults-only hotel , with direct beach access , spa , gym , meeting rooms , outdoor swimming pool , tennis court , rooms with private pools , villas , and seven different dining options .
The hotel is one of the assets that form part of the alternative investment vehicle Victoria Hotels & Resorts , a collaboration between Meliá Hotels International , Bankinter Investment and GMA .
