El Lujo de Vivir Despacio: The Luxury of Living Slowly
Shipping calculated at checkout
This volume reflects on the creation and philosophy of one of the Canary Islands' most ambitious luxury hospitality projects. Opened in 2018 as the first five-star Grand Luxury property of the Barceló Hotels & Resorts group in the region, the resort sought to distinguish itself not only through architecture and location but also through its culinary program.
The book traces the development of the project from its conception by the Deceuninck family to the collaborative effort of chefs, designers, and staff who shaped the resort's identity. Particular attention is given to the restaurants that have become central to its reputation, several of which have earned Michelin stars in a remarkably short time.
Part institutional history, part visual project, the book celebrates the people behind the property: chefs, service teams, and artisans whose work underpins the philosophy of attentive hospitality and "living slowly." Through photographs and reflections, it offers a glimpse into the culture of a contemporary luxury hotel where gastronomy plays a defining role.
Hardcover. Color photographs throughout. In Spanish and English.
