Hotel Rural El Refugio
★ 4.2 (429 reviews)
Hotel Rural El Refugio is one of those magical places where the world literally stops, as those who have discovered this special corner in the heart of Gran Canaria often say. Nestled in Cruz de Tejeda, at over 1,500 meters altitude, this welcoming establishment occupies a 19th-century rural house surrounded by ravines and very close to the emblematic Roque Nublo. Its privileged location in the island's highlands rewards you with spectacular mountain views and a silence that feels like pure luxury these days.
The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and maintain that rustic charm that makes you feel at home, with all the details to keep you warm during the cool mountain nights. The hotel stands out for its peaceful atmosphere and adults-only policy, perfect for couples seeking to disconnect, though they also welcome pets—something guests truly appreciate. The restaurant, lovingly managed, offers good food in a warm setting, and the outdoor pool is ideal for sunny days. An authentic refuge where peace, fresh air, and welcoming hospitality create memorable experiences.
