Gran Canaria - a paradise for beach-lovers
Gran Canaria is literally a beach-lover’s paradise! The impressive 8km of golden sand that stretch from Playa del Inglés to Meloneras and include the stunning dunes of Maspalomas are only the beginning.
Gran Canaria’s coastline is dotted with countless beaches and coves, each one more beautiful than the next. Many are fully accessible, with restaurants, water-sports facilities and other amenities. Others are more secluded and promise tranquillity and privacy.

The best weather in the world
That’s not a bold statement, but the conclusion of American climate researcher Thomas Whitmore, who found Gran Canaria’s capital, Las Palmas, to have the most pleasant climate of the 600 cities he studied worldwide.
With comfortable temperatures all year round and 50 weeks of sunshine a year in the south of the island, there’s nothing to stop you from making the most of all that Gran Canaria has to offer.
An excellent choice for golf and other sports
On Gran Canaria, you will find an impressive variety of world-class golf courses, designed by top names like Mackenzie Ross and Blake Stirling – just the thing for endless afternoons of enjoyable rounds of golf.
The island also offers plenty of opportunity for you to practise just about any sport imaginable. Enjoy wind-surfing, diving, rock-climbing, sky-diving, cycling, tennis and much more. Or strap on your hiking boots and go exploring some of Gran Canaria’s many idyllic mountain trails.
Well connected to mainland Europe
Gran Canaria is extremely well connected with hundreds of direct flights to major cities all over Europe from the island’s centrally located international airport.
