The group’s adults-only MUR Hotel Neptuno is located in the south of Gran Canaria in Playa del Inglés; it is an ideal base for exploring the nearly two-mile-long beach, enjoying water sports, and soaking up the area’s lively atmosphere. With modern amenities, stylish rooms, and a peaceful pool area and wellness center, it is the perfect location for those looking to relax in a sophisticated setting. Hotel Neptuno is the perfect destination for guests that need a “workation”, a flexible lifestyle that combines work and a vacation. The hotel provides modern technological amenities and additional services, such as quiet, comfortable places to work, even by the pool.

Located next to Hotel Neptuno, Apartments Buenos Aires is ideal for families and couples of all ages. The spacious, recently renovated apartments have a kitchenette but also come with the option of getting breakfast or half board at the on-site restaurant. The pool area is ideal for sunbathing and enjoying a dip (the pool is heated during winter, from October to April), and it is divided into separate areas for adults and children.

Just 200 meters from the tranquility of the beach and the Maspalomas dunes, on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, MUR Bungalows Parque Romántico offers a peaceful retreat with charming circular bungalows. All of them are designed for families with children, groups of friends, and couples looking for a peaceful and intimate atmosphere.

Shaped like igloos, the bungalows have been completely remodeled to offer guests an even better experience. As for amenities, Parque Romántico has two outdoor pools, gardens, sun terraces, a playground and children’s pool, and three professional tennis courts. However, the main highlight of MUR Bungalows is the Parque Romántico restaurant. An intimate space with local specialties, it is considered the second-best restaurant in Gran Canaria according to TripAdvisor. Its chef, Nayra Rufo, takes visitors on a culinary journey through modern, Mediterranean, and Asian fusion cuisine. It also has an outdoor terrace, ideal for business dinners and group meals for up to 16 people.

Located in the capital city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the MUR Hotel Group has recently opened ART Las Palmas, perfect for travelers who want a home away from home. The ART is a luxury building with fully equipped apartments in a range of sizes, each with large bedrooms, a kitchen, natural light, a balcony, air conditioning, washing machine and dryer, weekly cleaning service, and plenty of storage space. Located just 200 meters from Las Canteras beach, a 12-minute walk from Las Arenas shopping center, and 10 minutes by car to the cultural and historic center of the city, ART offers visitors the opportunity to experience the balanced Canarian way of life.

Committed to Sustainability 
MUR Hotels is committed to sustainability and delivering exceptional guest experiences. The hotel group’s core values include providing top-notch service to ensure every guest leaves with cherished memories, continuously enhancing their offerings by embracing the latest hospitality trends, and supporting local communities by sourcing products locally.

In line with these principles, MUR Hotels has implemented a series of measures over the years to address the environmental impact of its facilities. One notable initiative is the installation of thermal solar panels on all rooftops, which has reduced CO₂ emissions by a significant 284,822 kilograms to date. Additionally, guests in all accommodations receive a range of fresh produce, including papayas, mangoes, avocados, tomatoes, and pitayas, directly from the hotel’s own farm.

Furthermore, in 2020, MUR Hotels marked a significant milestone by inaugurating the first photovoltaic power plant in La Aldea de San Nicolás, Gran Canaria. This solar farm, a major advancement for the community, harnesses clean energy from the sun. The facility consists of 2,304 modules, each with a peak power of 440 watts, connected to several 36-kilowatt converters, generating a total of 900 kilowatts of power.

In summary, a stay at one of MUR Hotels’ fabulous accommodations provides guests with an unforgettable, high-quality experience that also promotes community involvement and sustainability in the Canary Islands.
