Miles of soft golden sand and great year-round weather make holidays in Las Palmas a popular choice for travellers to the golden isle of Gran Canaria. Immerse yourself in the island's traditional Spanish culture, lounge on beautiful sandy beaches, and sunbathe to your heart’s content – even in the depths of winter!
Gran Canaria is an island of tradition, charm, and beauty. Watch ships sail out to sea from the grand marina (the 'home port' of the ARC) or explore the whitewashed houses and vineyards in Fuencaliente on the sunny south coast. Playa de las Canteras and Playa de las Alcaravaneres are two beaches you should visit during your Las Palmas holidays, with great diving, surfing and water activities to enjoy between sunbathing on the soft sands. If you like to keep active, northern Gran Canaria has a fantastic landscape worth exploring with plenty of hiking and biking trails, topped off by breath-taking panoramic views.
Plan your Las Palmas holidays so that it coincides with the carnival – a three-week-long extravaganza of dance, music and colourful floats that is attended by thousands. The carnival usually starts the 26th January every year – perfect for a winter sun escape. As night falls, the central terrace bars and restaurants buzz with activity, or you can spend a quiet evening strolling down the promenade where you can watch the sun set over the sand. Las Palmas holidays are not expensive, and with a huge range of all inclusive hotels, full board options, and fantastic last minute deals – all ages and budgets are catered for.
Playa de las Canteras is seriously impressive for a city beach. Its rolling white sand and clear blue water is kept remarkably clean making it extremely popular with both tourists and locals. If you like to stay active, its neighbouring beaches are ideal for surfing and body boarding.
This lively town is a fabulous holiday party spot even hosting its own Pacha nightclub – the little sister to the legendary venue in Ibiza. There are plenty of chilled out bars along the beachfront if you want to sip cocktails by the sand or check out the late-opening night clubs, bars, and pubs dotted all over town.
Las Palmas is well known for its fantastic selection of restaurants and whatever cuisine you prefer you’ll be sure to find it here. You'll find delicious tapas restaurants serving up traditional dishes while international restaurants offer everything from your classic curry to wood-fired pizza. Spend the day lounging on Los Cancajos beach and enjoy a fantastic, fresh seafood lunch.
No vacation or holiday is complete without a visit to the souvenir shop, so why would your Las Palmas holidays be any different? Las Palmas is filled with numerous souvenir shops and small stalls selling jewellery and scarves. There are large and luxurious department stores as well. If you’re looking for a more traditional experience then Calle Triana, located in the heart of the old town, is the place to head for its variety of small, local shops and boutiques.
