Holidays to Gran Canaria

South coast beaches

Beach lovers flock to the south coast of Gran Canaria, home to some of the islands best stretches of sand. There’s lots of choice when it comes to beaches. You'll find everything from secluded coves backed by sleepy villages, to energetic hotspots overlooked by huge hotel complexes. The beaches are often the central hub of activity on a Gran Canaria night out, with lots of bars, restaurants, and cafés.

Inland exploration

You’ll probably choose to stay in one of the beach resorts in the south, or in the shopping haven of Las Palmas in the north. But don’t overlook the beauty of Gran Canaria’s interior. Right in the centre of the island stands Pico de las Nieves, an almost 2000-metre volcanic peak. You can also hike to the Roque Nublo landmark, visit the Pilancones natural park, and walk among butterflies at Palmitos Park.
