The latest gem from The Suites—a design-forward collection of stays across Iberia and beyond—Casa Montelongo is a restored 19th-century family home in the quiet northern town of La Oliva. Spanish architect Néstor Pérez Batista led its transformation into a sleek, two-unit guesthouse clad in stone, wood, clay, lime, and glass. The crisp, all-white interiors are offset by reddish-orange accents (a nod to the island’s volcanic character), with an abstract sculpture by Óscar Latuag suspended above the pool.

In 2025, this kilometer-zero restaurant inside the Kamezī Boutique Villas Hotel became the Canaries’ first Michelin-starred restaurant. Described as “a journey back to the island’s origins,” the 14-course tasting menu might include such creative dishes as Canarian mole, goat’s milk dulce de leche, seaweed bread, and Gofio porridge served with chile-laced green mojo sauce. Be sure to opt for the wine pairing, with more than 400 labels on offer from more than 50 countries. 

If you're like us and associate a holiday on the Canary Islands with evenings of sunsets and paella, we can't recommend the Restaurant Costa Azul enough. Not a fan of paella? There are plenty of seafood dishes to choose from!

Once the family home of Lanzarote’s most celebrated artist and architectural visionary, César Manrique, this 20-room country house in La Geria Natural Park is one of the Canaries’ most singular stays. Spanish designer Virginia Nieto crafted textural interiors that echo the island’s stark, elemental beauty—think black stone floors, lush greenery, and straw accents—while the heated, beach-like pool nods to Manrique’s famed Jameos del Agua cultural complex.
