Ona Alborada Hotel Unveils 'La Lanza' Restaurant in Tenerife

Ona Hotels & Apartments has opened a new restaurant called 'La Lanza' at its Ona Alborada hotel. This new spot boosts the hotel's food options and aims to become a top dining destination in southern Tenerife. The project is a collaboration between Ona and Sparta Properties, the fund that owns the restaurant.

'La Lanza' is perfectly situated across from Europe's largest natural saltwater pool. It invites both locals and hotel guests to enjoy a special experience, with the added bonus of access to the stunning 3,800 square meter pool area, which offers incredible ocean views.

Positioned as a culinary highlight in southern Tenerife, 'La Lanza' serves delicious Atlantic-Canarian dishes. Everything is made with fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients, celebrating the rich flavors of the region.

'La Lanza' offers modern dishes that incorporate local influences in both their creation and how they are served. The menu also features a wide variety of fresh seafood from the local market and tasty rice dishes. For dessert, you can choose from popular options or local favorites like cheesecake, 'polvito uruguayo', and 'quesillo'.

But 'La Lanza' offers more than just great food. Its wine cellar features excellent Spanish wines, carefully chosen from famous regions like Ribera del Duero, Rías Baixas, Rioja, and Jumilla. The real stars, though, are the unique and delicate wines from the Canary Islands. These special wines, grown in volcanic soil, are perfect for pairing with local dishes.

Cocktails are another key feature at 'La Lanza'. Alongside classic choices, the restaurant serves innovative cocktails with stunning presentations, unique flavors, and incredible attention to detail. Using fresh ingredients, artisanal smokes, special glassware, and premium spirits, each drink is crafted for a memorable experience you'll want to repeat.

'La Lanza' promises a delightful array of flavors and tastes, with dishes and drinks designed for everyone to enjoy, whether they are staying at the hotel or not.

Víctor Galcerán, Corporate F&B for Ona Hotels & Apartments, who oversees all food and drink venues in Spain and Morocco, said: "With 'La Lanza', we want to provide a full dining experience. We've brought together three distinct areas – a high-quality buffet, a snack menu, and an à la carte restaurant – all in a fantastic location next to the natural pool."

Galcerán added, "We hope both our hotel guests and outside visitors will enjoy our evenings, events, and Daypass options, discovering a food concept that blends taste, atmosphere, and feeling."

The name 'La Lanza' (which means 'The Spear') was chosen carefully. It comes from the 'salto del pastor', a traditional Canarian technique where shepherds use a long spear to jump and navigate the mountains, helping them cross ravines and keep their balance.

'La Lanza' is now part of Ona Hotels & Apartments' expanding collection of in-house restaurants. These restaurants already offer unique dining experiences at other locations. For example, Leña y Karbon at Ona Lomas Village is known for its well-planned menu of fresh, quality ingredients, including grilled meats and smoked fish.

Another is La Boquerona at Ona Valle Romano Golf & Resort, which captures the spirit of Andalusia and highlights local Malaga cuisine, especially the flavors of Estepona. The list also includes La Despensa at Ona Alanda Club Marbella, offering a relaxed, family-friendly Andalusian menu with great attention to detail, and La Vora in Ona Palamós, which serves simple, local Mediterranean dishes.

The opening of 'La Lanza' is part of strengthening the Ona Alborada hotel. With its long history in hotel management, Ona Hotels & Apartments aims to improve the destination by providing genuine experiences that connect guests with the local culture and natural beauty.

'La Lanza' is a project by Sparta Properties, a company with a varied collection of real estate in the United States, Thailand, Greece, and Spain. Their goal is to maximize long-term value and growth. Sparta Properties is based in Miami, with offices in Athens and Madrid, and is the real estate arm of Libra Group, an international company with businesses in nearly 60 countries.
