Guests here have access to a shared swimming pool – the perfect tonic to the suntrap of a private rooftop terrace. The open living, kitchen and dining room is awash with light thanks to conservatory-style glass which is just what you want on sunny Gran Canaria. For those working remotely, one of the bedrooms has a dedicated laptop desk.
