Further along the shoreline, around 3km away, you will find the marina area, while the historic heart of the city – Las Palmas Cathedral and the Vegueta old town – is roughly 5.1km away. Trams and buses, plus good-value taxis, make exploring the wider city easy.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


There is no swimming pool at ART Las Palmas – but with Las Canteras Beach just 350m away, most guests simply wander down to the sand for swims, surf sessions and sunset walks.

Las Canteras is one of Spain’s best-regarded urban beaches, with a natural reef creating calm swimming areas in parts of the bay and livelier surf breaks in others. Showers, lifeguards (seasonal) and plenty of beachfront places to snack or sip a coffee mean beach days are easy to organise independently.

Spa, sports & wellness


ART Las Palmas keeps things simple and practical, with a focus on comfortable apartments and convenient city access. On-site you will find:

• Cycling facilities* – a useful base for exploring the city and coastline by bike
• Lift access – 2 lifts serving the 5-floor building
• Cozy lobby – a pleasant spot to relax or meet your party before heading out

There is no full spa, gym or organised entertainment programme, which suits guests who prefer to explore Las Palmas’ own parks, waterfront promenades and cultural venues instead.

*Some facilities and services may incur a local charge.
