Saturday, 12 July 2025 - 18 minutes

In this week’s episode, Ed Finn catches up with Carla Reira Garcia, the dynamic Director of Operations at Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa, part of the esteemed Hyatt Inclusive Collection. Carla shares the unique ethos behind the brand’s elevated all-inclusive concept — where luxury, personalised service, and relaxation are at the heart of every stay. Ed also visited with Enrique Cazola Luque at Dreams Resort - Playa Dorada.

We dive into what makes Lanzarote such a beloved destination for Irish holidaymakers, from its year-round sunshine to the island’s volcanic beauty and warm hospitality. Carla also gives us a sneak peek into one of the resort’s true gems — the Secrets Spa — often hailed as one of the finest wellness experiences on the island.

Whether you're dreaming of a romantic escape, a wellness retreat, or just want to see why this resort gets it so right, tune in for an inspiring and sunshine-filled chat. Secrets is Adult Only which is nice if you want a quieter holiday. I also stayed for 1 nights at Dreams Resort in Playa Blanca, Playa Dorada which is really lovely and great for families. Enrique gave me a great tour of the hotel and it was nice to combine both properties for two different experiences. Lanzarote is just full of "Secrets and Dreams" in the best possible way.
