What Makes Gran Canaria The Perfect Destination

When it comes to choosing somewhere for a break away, it can feel like a bit of a minefield. There are so many places to choose from that selecting the ideal destination can feel like you’re trawling for hours without making any progress. One place that offers all you could need from a break away is Gran Canaria. Known for its black lava and white sand beaches, it is part of Spain’s canary islands located just off of northwest Africa. Whether you are looking for a romantic break away, a place to go to with friends, or even a solo destination, Gran Canaria ticks all the boxes. Here is just why:

It has something for everyone

One of the biggest appeals of Gran Canaria is that it has something for everyone. If you are someone that likes to indulge in sports, there are many options here, particularly for those that like to surf or paddle board. You can also indulge in activities such as dolphin spotting on a boat trip, spending a day at the beach or visiting the volcanoes. There are nature reserves such as Reserva Natural Especial de Las Dunas de Maspalomas you can visit, as well as many other highlights. Be sure to plan your itinerary ahead of time so you do everything you want to before you leave.

It offers year-round sunshine

A fantastic part of going to Gran Canaria is knowing that you can enjoy year-round sunshine. When the UK is being battered from wind and rain, you can hop abroad to enjoy the warmth and happiness that the sunshine brings. We recommend staying somewhere with a pool where you can make the most of the weather and going outside of school holidays if you don’t have children. This is when the island is a little quieter and you can also benefit from lower prices. These are just two of the main benefits of heading here.

There are so many places to stay

Whether you are someone that likes to stay in a hotel or a villa, there are so many options in Gran Canaria. You can indulge in a luxury hotel or a B&B, but we really recommend a villa for total privacy. There are many villas in Gran Canaria that enable you to make the most of the weather, visit all the attractions and then have your own space to come back to away from any crowds. You can enjoy carefully crafted spaces, beautiful decorations and a villa that is perfectly tailored to what you are looking for.

These are just a few reasons why Gran Canaria is the ideal destination and the perfect spot to head to for your next holiday. Whether you are looking to swim with dolphins, relax with friends or have a foodie experience, you are sure to find it here. Have you been to Gran Canaria before?
