Ikea opens canary islands hotel with cheap rooms and breakfast included

THE HOTEL IS JUST A SHORT WALK FROM THE BEACH 13:14, 02 Jun 2025 It might be known more for its meatballs and budget furniture, but IKEA is making waves with its newest venture - and

there's not a flatpack in sight. The Swedish retailer has opened a hotel in the Canary Islands and rooms are already being snapped up. Las Dunas de Santa Catalina Boutique House is on

Gran Canaria, just a short walk from Alcaravaneras beach. Offering double or triple rooms with pool or garden views, the modern hotel has a small outdoor pool, sun loungers and a restaurant

with a terrace where breakfast is served. Breakfast is included in the cost of a room, which starts around £114 a night. Article continues below It's a two-star site, so don't

expect anything too luxurious, but the rooms are light and modern with some blue and yellow cushions and bedspreads the only nod to IKEA's iconic colourful logo. The hotel features on

the Booking.com website where it's already received strong reviews just weeks after opening. JOIN OUR FAMILY WHATSAPP GROUP HERE "The place is newly opened and very well

maintained, with a beautiful decor that creates a relaxing atmosphere, and the facilities are very comfortable," said one guest. "The staff was very pleasant and attentive at all

times and the breakfast was quite good. We would repeat without hesitation. Thank you very much." Another said: "I really liked the quietness, you can't hear any street noise,

and the pool area is beautiful. "They also treated us wonderfully at all times. The cleaning was great and the breakfast was delicious.” Describing the hotel, Booking.com says:

"Las Dunas de Santa Catalina Boutique House in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria offers adults-only rooms with private bathrooms, air-conditioning, and parquet floors. Each room includes a

work desk, minibar, and TV. "Guests can relax on the sun terrace, in the garden, or by the year-round outdoor swimming pool. Article continues below "The property features a
