Hotel Faro a Lopesan Collection Hotel commands one of Gran Canaria’s most enviable spots, at the very edge of Maspalomas where the Atlantic meets the golden dunes. Step out and you’re instantly on the Faro Boulevard promenade, lined with designer boutiques, bars and cafés.
The famous Maspalomas sand dunes roll out just 500m away, while the wider resort and neighbouring Meloneras are a short taxi ride if you fancy upping the tempo with more restaurants, beach clubs and shopping.

Food & drink
Days at Hotel Faro flow easily from relaxed buffet breakfasts to long, sociable lunches and destination-worthy dinners. The focus is firmly on quality, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and international flavours.
Ocean Buffet Restaurant
The main restaurant blends buffet and à la carte elements, with live stations and a generous spread of international, Italian, Spanish, Asian and local Canarian dishes at breakfast and dinner. Expect everything from show-cooked meats and fish to vibrant salads, plant-forward options and indulgent desserts. Smart-casual dress applies in the evening.
Callao Restaurant
Set right by the beach, Callao is the hotel’s signature Spanish à la carte. It specialises in elevated local cuisine – think seafood, rice dishes and seasonal tapas-style plates – served with Atlantic views that really come into their own at sunset.
Erizo Restaurant
A stylish poolside à la carte spot serving international dishes for lunch and generous snacks. Ideal for something more refined than typical pool fare without having to stray far from your lounger.
Bars
• Blue Marlin Ibiza Sky Lounge Gran Canaria* – Rooftop, adults-only lounge bar with a Balearic soundtrack, creative cocktails and panoramic views over the lighthouse, dunes and ocean (approx. 11:00–00:00).
• Pool Bar – Open roughly 10:00–18:00 for drinks and daytime refreshments.
• Suru Lobby Bar* – Elegant lobby bar (approx. 09:00–23:59) for pre-dinner aperitifs or a nightcap; beachwear is discouraged.
Guests on Half Board can dine buffet-style in Ocean Restaurant, while Half Board Plus (Half Board Premium) also unlocks set-menu à la carte dinners at selected signature restaurants within three nearby Lopesan sister properties (reservation and own transport required; drinks not included; subject to change).
