Select a Private Holiday Villa in Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria, also known as the ‘round island’ because of its circular shape is 47 km wide and has 236 km of coastline. In the southeast are the famous beaches of Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas with the most amazing sand dunes. The southwest and west coasts are dominated by cliffs, and in the north and northeast of the island the coastline is very diversified, offering a wide variety of beaches and coves. The centre of the island is mountainous with high peaks, lush greenery and many gorges radiating out towards the sea.
This beautiful island is a perfect family villa holiday destination, with many theme and entertainment parks and excellent activities for all age groups. The Aquasur water park is just outside Maspalomas and is the largest water park in Gran Canaria with dozens of slides and attractions including Kamikaze, Rapids, Congo River and Mini Golf.
Gran Canaria is regarded as a fantastic golf destination, with many courses located both in the north and south of the island. The courses are all relatively new and have modern facilities that will meet the demand of any level of player.
For those wanting to enjoy sunshine and sea in a more active manner, why not go sailing or fishing? Over 50 world record sized catches for deep sea fishing have been awarded at the ports on the east and south coast. The all year round climate here means perfect conditions for all types of water sport and Gran Canaria is considered one of the best places in the world for windsurfing.
The capital of the island, Las Palmas hosts the start of the Annual Transatlantic Rally (ARC) each November. This is the most popular way to cross the Atlantic and every year over 200 yachts from all over the world begin their 2700 nautical mile journey to the Caribbean which takes between 14 and 21 days. February is Carnival time in Las Palmas, with people travelling from all over to join in the festivities and fancy dress parade into the small hours.

Known as the hottest resort on Gran Canaria's south coast, Puerto Rico is a popular choice for sunworshippers. The hotels, apartments and holiday villas are nestled in the sides of the hills that surround it so it may not be a suitable choice for the some but there is a pituresque harbour and marina, two sandy beaches and a promenade lined with bars and cafes where you can sit outside and watch the world go by. We have 1 villas in Puerto Rico and Area.
