Amadores (Puerto Rico de Gran Canaria), Gran Canaria, Spain
Atlantic infinity pool and a 35°C spa pool above Amadores Beach.
Why it made the list
The pool
Stone terraces step down the cliff above Amadores Bay, and on one of them an infinity pool runs straight out towards the Atlantic. It's one of two adult pools, and the one that can be heated. Two freshwater children's pools sit on the terraces too, and a round whirlpool hides below the red rock of the cliff.
Inside, the spa pool is kept at 35°C, with bubble beds, pressure jets and swan-neck jets to work through between the sauna and the Turkish bath. The spa circuit is free for guests, open daily from 10:00 to 18:00, and kept for over-16s apart from two short family slots. Loungers and parasols are free; pool towels need a deposit.
Checked against the property's official facilities on 17 Oct 2026. We re-check monthly.
The stay
Gloria Palace Royal is built from natural stone into the hillside on the Costa de Mogán, 200 metres from Amadores Beach. Puerto Rico, with its shops, bars and restaurants, is about 15 minutes away on foot, and Gran Canaria Airport is roughly 40 minutes by car.
Every room faces the sea from a furnished balcony, and comes with a bathrobe, slippers and free WiFi. The restaurants look out over the bay, with buffet and à la carte dining, and there's a premium all-inclusive option if you'd rather not think about it. Families get Tina's Club for children aged 4 to 12, open 10:00 to 17:00, plus daytime and evening entertainment.
Here's the thing: with daytime and evening entertainment for adults and children, this is a sociable family hotel rather than a quiet retreat. A separate naturist sunbathing area sits apart from the main terraces. Parking is free, and pets aren't allowed.

High on the hillside above Puerto Rico, the rooftop pool's infinity edge lines up with the Atlantic, and from the loungers you look straight down on the marina and the bay. Water spouts pour from the stone wall at the back into the pool. It's heated and open all year, with a pool bar for drinks and light lunches.
Two infinity pools sit at the sea end of the garden, their edges lined up with the Atlantic and their shallow ledges set with submerged loungers. Both are for adults only. Further back are three more outdoor pools, one with a curved shallow shelf, plus a children's pool, six in all, and the pools are heated in winter.
Six outdoor pools spread through the gardens of this resort by the sea in Meloneras. The one to find first is the infinity pool, its edge running out towards the Atlantic. Elsewhere there's a large lagoon-style main pool below the resort's twin church towers, a saltwater pool, a plunge pool and a kids' pool, plus a sandy beach area set among the palms.
