Gran Canaria is ready to welcome you again!

Gran Canaria is fully ready to receive British and Irish tourists again. The island has redesigned the entire chain of processes involved in the end-to-end travel experience and has a huge support of UNWTO, that endorses Gran Canaria and Canary Islands as a safe destination. 

Gran Canaria’s Top Selling Points

Eternal spring all year round

Gran Canaria enjoys average temperatures of 24ºC all year round at just a 4 hour flight from the UK

A miniature continent

Gran Canaria is known for the great variety of landscapes, from amazing golden sand beaches and unique Maspalomas Dunes, to the dramatic volcanic landscapes of the summit of the island, very different from those on the coast.

High quality resorts with the best hotels, wellness and golf facilities

There are fantastic modern tourist areas in the south of the island, such as Meloneras, Amadores, Anfi, Taurito, Puerto Mogán, with beautiful golden sand beaches and long ocean front promenades with bars, restaurants, boutiques, golf courses, spas and all other facilities the most demanding clients are looking for. There is also a wide range of 4* and 5* hotels to choose from, including the ultra-luxury Seaside Collection, wow-factor Lopesan Hotels, RIU Hotels, H10, Salobre Golf Resort, Gloria T&H, Cordial Canarias and many more.

New concept hotels with high-tech features for millennial luxury

These properties give special attention to the experiences, customisation and wellbeing. Ask for yoga on the beach, a personal training session or healthy eating tips. Always be ready to take the perfect picture for your Instagram.

The possibility for the twin centre holidays

You can perfectly combine your beautiful beach escape with a few days in nature and/or the capital city Las Palmas de Gran Canaria for a more authentic experience.

Gran Canaria off the beach

There are lovely charming hotels in the interior and north of the island for great cultural and active experiences. The island offers fantastic pre-Hispanic sites, cave villages, coffee and tropical fruit plantations, wine and honeyrum tasting, cheese making, excellent walking and cycling experiences, flower and bird watching, star gazing and much more. Or, just chill and enjoy the slow living of the interior villages surrounded by spectacular views of this volcanic island.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria – a city break, cruise port and a perfect day tour

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has gorgeous golden sand Las Canteras Beach that gives life to the city. The charming historical quarter of Vegueta with cobbled streets, Columbus House and the Cathedral is a must-visit. Aquarium Poema del Mar is located just by the cruise port, not far from Puerto Market, the perfect place to try the local tapas. Otherwise choose from many bars, restaurants and open-air terraces all around the city. There is a great choice of hotels on Las Canteras Beach and many charming small hotels as well. The offer is completed with newly reopened 5*GL Santa Catalian, A Royal Hideaway Hotel by Barceló.
