​Beach

Medano Beach is known for its soft, white sand, crystal-clear waters, and stunning views of the iconic Land's End rock formations. The beach is rather shallow, making it perfect for a calm swim, and there are sun loungers where you can relax and soak up the sun.

Pool

The resort boasts two large, sparkling pools surrounded by palm trees, sun loungers, and swim-up bars. Guests can enjoy a variety of activities, including aqua aerobics, water volleyball, and live music at the activity pool. For those seeking a quieter experience, there is a separate infinity pool offering breathtaking views.

​What Sets It Apart

​Classic vacation drinks at the beach club. There's nothing quite like sipping on a frozen beverage under a palm tree with your feet in the sand...

Drawbacks

The food options are mediocre and lack variety. If you're a foodie looking for high-quality cuisine during your vacation, the Riu Palace may not be the best option for you.
