About Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is a sun-drenched island of endless variety, where golden beaches meet soaring peaks and charming towns sit alongside lively resorts. Known as a “mini continent” thanks to its incredible contrasts, the island is the perfect all-year-round escape, with a spring-like climate that rarely changes.
Along the southern coast, you’ll find sweeping stretches of sand, rolling dunes and plenty of sunshine — ideal for families, couples and friends alike. Visitors can enjoy everything from relaxing days by the sea and stylish seafront dining to water sports, boat trips and vibrant nightlife. The island’s charm, however, doesn’t end at the…
Our Gran Canaria Tips
Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the golden sand dunes of Maspalomas, a stunning natural landscape that feels like a slice of the Sahara by the sea.
With warm, sunny days throughout the year and average temperatures around 24°C, Gran Canaria is a fantastic choice for year-round sunshine and outdoor adventures.
Head to Puerto de Mogan — often called “Little Venice” — where colourful houses, flower-filled lanes, and pretty canals make it one of the island’s most picturesque spots.
Why not order try a barraquito, a sweet layered coffee with condensed milk, liqueur, and cinnamon — a true Canarian favourite.
