Prestige adds three hotels in new Canary Islands programme


Prestige Holidays has added three properties and an array of early-booking offers in its Canary Islands 2020-21 brochure, its first since the coronavirus lockdown. The operator has brought the


programme out online and will review the need for paper copies as and when agencies reopen. It features tailor-made breaks


and regional departures to Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Gomera, La Palma and Fuerteventura. The operator stressed there


was flexibility to move dates and destinations without extra cost if it was not safe to travel. The new properties for next


winter are the H10 Atlantic Sunset in Playa Paraiso; adult- only Arona Gran & Spa; and the Royal River & Spa hotel in Costa Adeje, which has 29 suites and bedroom villas with private pools for families and couples. Early-booking offers include


up to £105 off per person at the Royal River & Spa. David Skillicorn, commercial


director, said: “The Canaries will be popular with those looking for a post-lockdown winter escape.” prestigeholidays.co.uk
