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.

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.

Restaurants all round 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.
