Gran Canaria really does have it all. This beautiful island has resorts to suit everyone, all with swathes of sun-drenched sand and their own unique character. Cheap Gran Canaria holidays are available to suit everyone, whether you’re after the bustling nightlife of Playa del Ingles or lazy days in one of the islands smaller resorts. The sun shines here all year round, making this a great place to visit all year round.
In the north of the island, the charming capital Las Palmas has several good beaches, but most people head towards the southern resorts. Couples and families with young children might like Mogan, a relaxed, easygoing resort with a Spanish feel. The beach is sheltered and perfect for swimming. Nightlife is fairly quiet, centred around low-key bars and restaurants.
Those looking for something more lively should head for Puerto Rico or Playa del Ingles. Puerto Rico is a welcoming resort which will suit all tastes. There are two beaches to choose from, and while the Amadores beach is a little walk from town, it is worth it, offering imported golden sand, clear water and a choice of water-sports. There are also two harbours, from where it’s easy to pick up a boat trip. Nightlife is varied, with lots of bars, restaurants and clubs. Playa del Ingles holidays offer twenty-four hour fun in the sun. The three Kilometre long beach is lined with bars and restaurants, and every kind of water-sport is available to try. The resort is most famous for its nightlife, and Playa del Ingles certainly knows how to party, with many bars and clubs open until dawn. Just down the coast, the resort merges into Masaplomas, where striking Sahara-style sand dunes meet the sea. It’s also a good place to stay if you want somewhere slightly quieter, but still near the action.
