Much like its neighbouring islands of Lanzarote and Tenerife, Gran Canaria comprises a dramatic volcanic landscape. The island's centre is 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 in the Atlantic Ocean.
Golf is very popular here too – why not enjoy the best of both worlds at Salobre Golf Resort?
Las Palmas
Gran Canaria's capital, Las Palmas, is a short drive from most of our villas, and there's so much to do in this bustling city. From taking a stroll in the centre and visiting the many shops, to enjoying a more authentic experience in the market town, it's definitely worth the trip.
The kids will enjoy the bus trip to the botanical gardens, which shows the impressive array of plants grown on the island.
Another must-see is the Cauldron Of Bandama (Caldera de Bandama). It's one of the things that makes Gran Canaria such a stunning island, and many consider the volcanic crater a wonder.
You can stay at the top, get some Instagram-worthy shots of the spectacular views, or hike down into the crater.
Playa del Ingles
Playa del Ingles is a part of Maspalomas, but many would agree it's almost like its own resort, as there's so much to do for families. Better still, it's within a stone's throw of most of our villas, so you can enjoy a relaxing golf resort while entertaining the kids.
HolidayWorld is always popular with the children, and it has an array of activities, including bowling, karaoke, a small amusement park and an epic escape room. There's also plenty of delicious food on offer.
