Secrets Bahia Real is the luxury choice in Corralejo. It stands on the beachfront at Avenida Grandes Playas, on the edge of the Corralejo Natural Park, and it looks across the water to the islands of Lobos and Lanzarote. It is part of the Hyatt Inclusive Collection, designed for guests over sixteen, and rates are built around unlimited dining and premium drinks. The hotel lists 245 rooms, mostly junior suites and Preferred Club suites with generous space, plus two outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a swim-up bar, a beach club and a spa with a hydrotherapy area. Guests rate it very highly, with a score of 9.4 from about 580 reviews, and the staff and cleanliness scores are especially strong. Some older materials still use the earlier name, Gran Hotel Atlantis Bahia Real.
Location and getting around
The resort is on Avenida Grandes Playas, with Playa Real a minute’s walk away, Las Agujas beach about two minutes on foot and Flag Beach, a favourite with surfers and kitesurfers, about eight minutes. That puts you right at the dunes, so a morning walk or run on the sand is on the doorstep.
The trade-off is distance from the town. Corralejo’s harbour, shops and restaurants are a drive, taxi or bike ride away, which is why the location score is lower than the other scores, and the Lobos ferry leaves from the harbour. The airport is on the east coast, a drive of well under an hour.
The rooms and the grounds
The suites range from generous junior suites to larger Preferred Club suites with extra privileges, and many have balconies or terraces with ocean views. The hotel describes rooms from about 36 to 75 square metres, air conditioning and daily housekeeping. The grounds are landscaped, with two outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a swim-up bar, sun loungers and umbrellas. The spa offers massages and body treatments, and a hydrotherapy area is reserved for adults. There are bikes to hire, which are a good way to reach Corralejo along the coast.
Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and friends who want a quiet, polished all-inclusive stay and do not mind a drive into town. Children under sixteen are not admitted, which keeps the pools and restaurants calm. If you plan to surf, windsurf or kitesurf, the location near Flag Beach is ideal, and the Corralejo dunes are right next door.
Good to know
The all-inclusive Unlimited-Luxury plan covers meals and premium drinks, with some exceptions, so check what your rate includes and whether the speciality restaurants need a reservation. Self-parking is charged per day, so ask about it if you hire a car. The resort is busy in the winter-sun season, so book early for November and December, and ask for a suite with a sea view if the outlook matters to you.
