Reopening of the Robinson Club Jandía Playa: A Transformative Journey
A New Chapter Begins
On a sunny afternoon, the Robinson Club Jandía Playa, nestled in the beautiful landscapes of Fuerteventura, celebrated its grand reopening after an extensive renovation. With significant financial backing from TUI, the resort has undergone a transformative process that amounted to an investment of €20 million. This revamp has elevated its category to a prestigious four-star rating and shifted its offering to an adult-only concept, catering to a sophisticated clientele seeking relaxation and luxury.
The Grand Celebration
The reopening event kicked off around 5:30 PM, as guests began to arrive. Attendees included industry leaders, dignitaries, and tourism stakeholders eager to experience the upscale changes firsthand. Following a delightful gala dinner, the main ceremony commenced at 10:00 PM. The atmosphere was celebratory, filled with excitement about the resort’s future as a premier destination for adults seeking an idyllic getaway.
Key Figures in Attendance
The event saw a prominent turn-out of influential figures in the tourism sector, including Bernd Mäser, the General Director of Robinson Club GmbH, and Friedrich Joussen, the President of the TUI Group. Local dignitaries also graced the ceremony, such as Marcial Morales, President of the Cabildo Majorero; Blas Acosta, Vice President and Tourism Counselor; Isaac Castellano, Regional Tourism Counselor; and Rafael Perdomo, Mayor of Pájara. Their presence reinforced the importance of the resort in the region’s tourism landscape.
Remodeling Timeline
The road to the grand reopening has been long and filled with noteworthy milestones. The original structure, constructed in the late 1960s, began its transformation in December 2017. The old tower was demolished in January 2018, paving the way for a contemporary design that combines elegance and sustainability. The new building spans 40 meters and was celebrated with its symbolic first stone laying on February 13, 2018—a day marked by the active participation of Robinson Club executives, including Monti Galmés, the CEO of Robinson Spain.
A Sustainable Future
The renovation was completed in July, culminating in a vibrant ceremony that included the raising of the flags of Spain, the Canary Islands, and the Robinson brand atop the new tower. The redesigned resort now features 140 rooms—114 double and 26 suites—alongside a new restaurant that can accommodate up to 180 guests and a relaxing chill-out zone. Notably, it has also earned a sustainable building certification, ensuring that it meets modern environmental standards.
Community Engagement
The reopening of the Robinson Club Jandía Playa represents a significant boost not just for the resort itself, but for the local economy as well. With its appeal to adult travelers, the venue is expected to draw visitors who will contribute positively to the region’s tourism sector. This revitalization is seen as a collaborative success facilitated by local government support and industry partnerships.
The Offerings
Guests can expect a variety of amenities that enhance their stay—ranging from luxurious accommodations to exquisite dining experiences. The emphasis on adult-only now allows for a serene environment, ideal for couples or individuals seeking a peaceful retreat. The inclusion of a chill-out area promises to cater to those wanting to unwind and take in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Excited Expectations
As anticipation heightens, the Robinson Club Jandía Playa is set to welcome its first guests, starting on Thursday, October 6. This reopening marks not just the revival of a beloved destination, but also the beginning of a new era, defined by commitment to quality, luxury, and sustainability. It’s a promising time for both the resort and the picturesque island of Fuerteventura, where guests will undoubtedly find much to enjoy.
