The Great Rest was discovered many dozens of years ago. It came about in the middle of the 19th century, when English travelers en route to Cape Town happened on the island with the best Winters in Europe, almost by accident.

An island with perfect microclimates for long-term stays and clearing up ailments, aches and pains, or simply resting. A place with an ocean of fine weather, a place to look after yourself and feel good.

By the second half of the 19th century Gran Canaria had become an important health resort. Visitors came in from a thousand cities, in search of a good climate and the medicinal waters or the grand spas at Azuaje and Berrazales.

But the Great Rest also kept pace with change over the years. Visionary Eduardo Filiputti brought the formula up to date last century, creating a wellness centre in  Maspalomas, a spa on dunes with a heliotherapy centre to take advantage of the benefits of the sand and the sun. This was back in the 1960s.

Nowadays this formula continues to be fine tuned. Visitors to Gran Canaria will find a wide range of Spa & Wellness Centres, with the personal touch of top specialists and the latest treatments in the field of wellness.

The latest techniques and modern spa and thalassotherapy amenities fuse with a sea of beaches, all this backed by a large number of professionals in the area of health and beauty, together with a wide choice of private health care.

If you would like to take a few days to feel good and pamper yourself, then come to Gran Canaria. We expect to hold on to the Great Rest formula for further 150 years.
