Advertorial promotion

Planning a holiday to the Canary Islands this summer? Home to an abundance of top health, wellness and beauty clinics, the island paradise of Gran Canaria is the perfect place to prioritise your self-care by treating yourself to holistic treatments for your mind and body.

With golden dunes, ancient forests, and year-round sunshine, Gran Canaria is a true Atlantic gem synonymous with paradise. But there’s a new reason why the island is on everyone’s lips: it has transformed into the mecca of conscious wellness, where health, beauty, and serenity coexist in perfect harmony.

Beyond its dreamlike landscapes, the island captivates with a vibrant offering of top-tier hospitals, cutting-edge aesthetic and dental clinics, wellness sanctuaries, and boutique hotels where body and soul find their balance. Gran Canaria Spa, Wellness & Health is much more than a promise of rest- it’s a transformative journey toward absolute well-being. A place where time dissolves amid ocean scents, expert hands, and a profound connection with oneself. Here, every breath is an act of renewal.

Nourish yourself inside and out

True beauty is born from balance. An impeccable skincare routine or the most advanced aesthetic treatment alone isn’t enough without holistic care for the body, mind, and soul. At IKIGAI by Hospitales San Roque, they understand this like no one else: here, caring for yourself isn’t just about looking good – it’s about feeling in harmony with who you truly are.

This exclusive health and wellness space, located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Maspalomas, redefines beauty through a deeply personalised, holistic approach. Yes, you will leave looking more radiant, but what you truly take away is far more than firmer skin or perfectly sculpted lips: you will reconnect with your body and true essence.

From hyaluronic acid fillers for lips and under-eyes to innovative thread-lifting treatments, every protocol is designed to enhance your best features with the utmost safety and medical excellence, backed by the prestigious Hospitales Universitarios San Roque. With centres both in the south of the island and the capital, they offer comprehensive healthcare combining cutting-edge technology with a steadfast commitment to quality care. Their patient-centered approach is supported by dedicated professionals and a continuous drive for innovation. Since June 2019, they have been accredited as a university hospital in collaboration with Fernando Pessoa University in the Canary Islands, pioneering this field in the archipelago.

Are you looking to eliminate acne scars? Even out your skin tone with depigmenting peels? Stimulate natural collagen production with advanced deep massage techniques? All this and more awaits you here, in the hands of specialists who listen, guide, and pamper you.

And if your goal is to combat hair loss, reduce cellulite with wood therapy, or even erase a tattoo using high-precision laser technology, IKIGAI makes it possible with a respectful and professional approach.

Here, every treatment is an experience. Every visit, a small journey toward your best self. The key is to let go, allow yourself to be cared for, and trust the experts to design a unique, tailor-made path just for you. Because when you nurture yourself from within, beauty simply flows.

Enhance your beauty without losing yourself

Your time in Gran Canaria can be much more than sun, sea, and relaxation. It can also be the moment you’ve reserved just for yourself. In the heart of Las Palmas, Kala by HPS is an oasis where aesthetic surgery doesn’t chase artificial perfection but celebrates the authentic beauty already within you – sometimes all it takes is a subtle harmony to let it shine at its fullest.

Here, it’s not about changing who you are, but about enhancing what makes you unique, supporting you with respect and care through a transformation born from the desire to look and feel your best. With a focus on elegance and naturalness, Kala’s medical team works from attentive listening and extensive experience, guiding you with honesty and excellence.

The clinic offers a comprehensive unit for nutrition and dietetics, state-of-the-art laser aesthetic medicine, and, of course, a team of surgical specialists who meticulously care for every detail before, during and after each procedure. All this under the prestigious umbrella of Hospital Perpetuo Socorro, one of the country’s leading private hospitals, performing over 11,000 interventions annually and staffed by more than 200 professionals. Located in the capital, this hospital is a top private medical-surgical centre. Founded in 1959, it has become a reference point with nearly full coverage of medical specialties. This growth and diversification stem from its commitment to providing the highest quality care to its patients. Additionally, the hospital features an advanced rehabilitation unit designed to restore functionality and well-being after traumatic or neurological conditions, along with expert care for acute and chronic pain management, regardless of its origin.

At Kala, you’re cared for not only externally but holistically, with rigor, sensitivity, and respect for your pace and decisions. Here, beauty and health go hand in hand, offering the peace of mind that you are in the best hands.

Smile with confidence: when dentistry becomes art

We know that a beautiful smile has the power to light up your face and transform everything around you. It’s not just about aesthetics – it’s about confidence, expression, and authenticity. In a place where we laugh freely and express ourselves passionately, we want a smile that matches that spirit. That’s why, if you’re seeking a truly transformative experience, Centro Brånemark Las Palmas is the place to go.

This pioneering clinic in the Canary Islands elevates dentistry to a new level, blending science, precision, and aesthetics with deeply human care. Specialists in Advanced Implantology, Orthodontics, and Cosmetic Dentistry, their team uses cutting-edge technology to deliver personalized, comfortable treatments with visible results from the very first visit.

Here, it’s not just about correction – it’s about perfection. Thanks to 3D guided surgery, procedures are faster, safer, and require minimal recovery time. For those seeking maximum comfort, the innovative Slow Dentistry protocol offers a comprehensive treatment in a single session with conscious sedation, allowing everything to unfold calmly, stress-free, and with full attention dedicated exclusively to you.

Beyond their medical expertise, they also excel in high-precision cosmetic dental treatments – from whitening that removes stains and restores your natural brightness, to gum contouring that brings proportion and balance to your smile.

Because having a healthy mouth is essential, but feeling confident in your smile is a small luxury that makes all the difference. At Brånemark Las Palmas, they don’t just restore functionality – they bring back the joy of smiling freely.

Personalised treatments for a perfect smile

In Gran Canaria, self-care can be an essential part of your health and wellness journey. And if there’s one thing that never goes unnoticed, it’s a confident, harmonious, and radiant smile. At Clínica Dental Adalia, excellence is evident from the very first moment: here, every treatment becomes a personalised experience where innovation, precision, and care go hand in hand.

With a comprehensive approach that covers everything from general dentistry to advanced surgery, cosmetic dentistry, and oral rehabilitation with implants, this centre ranks among the island’s most cutting-edge clinics. They are pioneers in adopting digital tools such as intraoral scanners and computer-guided surgery, allowing them to offer minimally invasive procedures that are more comfortable and deliver highly predictable results.

Plus, their initial diagnostic appointment is completely free, a perfect opportunity to assess your oral health, receive expert advice and discover the treatment that best fits your needs and lifestyle.

The care is warm and professional, and if you’re coming from abroad, you’ll benefit from specialised support for international patients designed to provide confidence and peace of mind at every step. Because at Clínica Adalia, they know dental health has no borders – but it can have the perfect island as its setting.

If you’re planning your getaway to Gran Canaria, take the opportunity to treat yourself to that extra spot of self-care you’ve been putting off. Your smile – and you – will thank you.
