On the southernmost tip of Gran Canaria is Playa del ingles, one of the largest beach resorts in Spain, literally meaning ‘Englishman’s beach’. Holidays in Playa del Ingles are all about soaking up the warm summer sun and embracing the cool ocean breeze amid a lively atmosphere.

 

The town has a 3km-long beach, which runs parallel to an expansive promenade filled with restaurants, bars, nightclubs, shopping centres and souvenir shops. For beach lovers of every taste and budget, there is a lot of fun things to see and do during your Playa del Ingles holidays. You can shop to your heart’s content and grab fantastic discounts on branded clothes, accessories and local goods.

 For more family-friendly activities head over to the nearby Aqualand water park at Maspalomas. For those interested in exploring the local way of life, there is Puerto de Mogan, a picturesque fishing village in the southwest corner of Gran Canaria.

The promenade is full of cafes, bars and shops so when you're not sunbathing you can be shopping or relaxing with a cocktail - sounds pretty perfect!

Getting Around Playa del Ingles

🚌 Transport in the Playa del Ingles Region

Gran Canaria is easy to navigate with a range of transport, transfers and car hire on offer. There are comfortable, air conditioned buses which leave from most of the main resorts regularly and stop at the island’s most famous attractions. The smaller, local buses are less reliable.   Hiring a car is cheap, easy and highly recommended. The island’s main roads are easy to navigate and well looked after; the smaller roads can be somewhat of a challenge. Driving is on the left.

Passports and Visas

British citizens don’t need a visa to enter Gran Canaria, but must have a valid passport. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements or the Foreign Office at www.fco.gov.uk/en/

Health and Safety

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. For more info, see www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/health

Vaccinations

No jabs are required to travel to Spain. The World Health Organisation (WHO), however, recommends that all travellers should have certain vaccinations before leaving the UK so be sure to check with your GP at least six weeks before travelling.
