4 ways to chase the sun and fun in Gran Canaria
Discover four ways to enjoy Gran Canaria, a real gem of an island!
From endless golden shores in the south to the capital where history and modernity meet, through dramatic valleys and ravines, and up to the majestic Roque Nublo watching over the island from the summit. Gran Canaria truly is a miniature continent, where you can enjoy the outdoors all year round with average temperatures of 25ºC.
Here, fun follows the sun — so come and enjoy these four epic plans on the island of eternal spring!
1. Morning vibes in Agaete
Like the coffee grown here (the only one in Europe), Agaete is a must-stop on your adventure. With its charming old town, fertile valley, and natural pools at Las Salinas, this little village in the northwest never disappoints.
2. A dose of Vitamin Sea in Maspalomas
What better way to start the day than gazing at the golden horizon of Maspalomas? With over 3km of beach stretching all the way to Playa del Inglés, this is a paradise where sun, soft waves, beach bars, promenades and endless outdoor fun come together. Perfect to discover with your partner or friends — and home to one of the best LGBTI scenes in the world. Everyone is welcome here!.
3. Wave after wave in the capital of the 928: Surfing in LPGC
There aren’t many places where you’ll find more than 2km of sandy beach, great waves and incredible weather almost all year round, set against a vibrant capital city. In Gran Canaria, that place is Las Palmas — the true surfing capital.
Step outside your room at Sholeo Lodges Las Palmas Flats and you’re right next to legendary surf spots like La Cícer, at Las Canteras beach. From dawn till sunset, rookies and pros alike share the waves. It’s a place where your spirit will dance to the rhythm of the ocean, and where you’ll connect with surfers from near and far — taking home just as many holas as waves.
4. All good vibes in Puerto de Mogán
October is the perfect month to get out on the water where boat trips, dolphin and whale watching are simply unmissable. With calm seas and sunny skies, there are few better spots than Mogán, the “Little Venice” of Gran Canaria and one of the sunniest corners in all of Europe.
And if you love the sea, just wait until you see the harbour! Picture-perfect canals, flower-filled balconies, colourful gardens, and a lively atmosphere with shops and the famous Friday market — all while keeping its authentic seafaring soul.
