All inclusive Holidays in Gran Canaria, and other Board types

Getting There and around Gran Canaria

There are dozens of charter flights to Gran Canaria from the UK. Most visitors come on package holidays, which include flights. It is likely that your all-inclusive resort will include a transfer from the airport to hotel as part of their package, however check with your specific resort for details.

If you wish to see more of the island than just the resorts in the local area then why not hire a car from the airport, there’s lots to see all over the island from stunning coastline to picturesque landscape.

Beaches in Gran Canaria

It is likely that your all-inclusive resort will be situated on the coastline of this stunning holiday destination and therefore the resort is likely to have its own well kept beach, however if this is not the case then do not panic there are plenty of beautiful beaches on this holiday destination.

Playa del Ingles is one of the best known and most crowded; it's a lively three kilometer-long beach with lots of water sports hotels, plenty of bars and restaurants. There are always beaches to be found off the track so be sure to check with your all-inclusive resort to see if there are any in the local area.

Sightseeing in Gran Canaria

There's so much to explore in Gran Canaria. A boat trip around the coast makes a great day out, stopping to swim at secluded spots on the way. On a jeep safari you'll discover the varied landscape with lush valleys and soaring mountain peaks.

Away from the tourist crowds there are tiny, unspoilt villages to explore like Fataga and Aguimes or San Bartolome de Tirajana, hidden away inside a volcanic crater.

Eating and Nightlife in Gran Canaria

If you want to dine on more familiar fare, you'll find everything from pizza to burgers and British fry-ups at restaurants and cafes in the resorts and it is likely that you will find all this and most of the famous local dishes in your all-inclusive resort’s lunchtime or evening menu. Check with your specific resort to see what your deal includes.

If you're looking to party, you won't be disappointed on Gran Canaria. One of the liveliest places after dark is Playa del Ingles with a nightlife that will keep you up all night. There's something for all tastes, whether it's a glitzy club or a full-on rave.

Gran Canaria Shopping and Family Attractions

Besides the beaches, a holiday in Gran Canaria offers a multitude of attractions for children. A family favourite is Aquasur near Maspalomas, a massive water park with over 33 slides. Then there's Ocean Park, a smaller version nearby, as well as Puerto Rico's Aqua Park.

More fun awaits at the Holiday World leisure and amusement park in Maspalomas, with its funfair, complete with giant Ferris wheel, spa and bowling alley.

In all the major resorts you'll find plenty of shops selling tourist souvenirs, from local pottery to jewellery, along with beach clothes and sunhats. Playa del Ingles has some big shops too, but for serious shopping nowhere beats Las Palmas. There are also likely to be shops in your all-inclusive resort.
