Gran Canaria Resorts

Attractions


  • Playa de Maspalomas:
  • Running the length of the southern coast of Gran Canaria is one of the most famous beaches in the Canary Islands, Playa de Maspalomas. This gorgeous beach is set apart from the others by its seemingly endless stretch into the horizon, the palm-tree lined promenade that runs the entire length of the sand, and the stunning Dunes of Maspalomas looming in the background. All are welcome on this beautiful shore, as evidenced by the naturist area located towards the west of the beach.


  • Dunes of Maspalomas:
  • The Dunas de Maspalomas are truly a sight to behold. This Natural Reserve in Maspalomas looks more like it belongs in the Sahara than in the Canary Islands, with offers of camel rides to traverse the mountains of sand! The desert covers 1000 acres, backing onto Playa de Maspalomas and including the beautiful Charca Lake. For anyone with a sense of adventure, or an appreciation of uninterrupted horizons, a visit here is a must.


  • Aqualand Maspalomas:
  • Open all year round and suitable for all ages, Aqualand Maspalomas is Gran Canaria’s largest water park. Alongside the wave pool, jacuzzi, and sea lion habitat, there are plenty of attractions on site to cater for any adrenaline junkies in the party. This includes Aqualand’s latest attractions ‘Snake Falls’ and the ‘Anaconda’, a 200 metre slide built for four people to tackle at once. There is also a mini park on site, with the park’s most popular attractions adapted to kid’s size, and a solarium where parents can watch on from the side.
