Holiday Villas in Gran Canaria

Things to do in Gran Canaria

Much like its neighbouring islands of Lanzarote and Tenerife, Gran Canaria comprises of a dramatic volcanic landscape, with the centre of the island dominated by mountain terrain – ideal for hiking and exploring traditional villages. Many of our villas to rent in Gran Canaria are near the coast, where you’ll be dazzled by the glorious stretches of sand and ample swimming and water sports opportunities. Golf is very popular here too – why not enjoy the best of both worlds at Salobre Golf Resort?

Beaches in Gran Canaria

You’ll encounter sun-drenched beaches all over the third largest Canary Island, with a rich variety of gold, white and even black volcanic sands lining the coast. Our Gran Canaria villas are close to the beautiful, manicured sands in Maspalomas – where a beach of over 6km and hundreds of hectares of sand dunes awaits.

Nightlife in Gran Canaria

Maspalomas is awash with lively bars and clubs close to the popular Playa del Inglés, whilst you can also enjoy a more chilled out evening with live music and ocean views in nearby Meloneras or Bahia Feliz. Our Gran Canaria villas offer plenty of options for entertaining yourselves without leaving the villa, perfect if you want to enjoy a night in too!

Food and Drink in Gran Canaria

Our villas in Gran Canaria have fully equipped kitchens and barbecues for you to cook up a feast in the comfort of your surrounds. For a change of scenery, restaurants all around the island serve a whole variety of international cuisines, but it’s also worth sampling some of the local specialities. Fresh seafood is always a popular option, or why not try Sancocho – a broth made from fish and vegetables and served with Canarian potatoes. Wash it down with a glass of the local red wine and you’re all set!

History and Culture in Gran Canaria

Las Palmas is Gran Canaria’s capital and cultural hub where you can potter around the cobbled streets and be inspired by its rich past. Gothic cathedrals, fascinating architecture and archaic museums tell the tale of the island’s history. Guests can easily combine their relaxation on picturesque beaches of Maspalomas with the exploration of local landmarks. Our Gran Canaria villas are close to several historic sites in the area including the Faro de Maspalomas lighthouse, the perfect place to set off on a walk into the famous sand dunes.
