The island is peppered with resorts that range in size and style. If you’re after a non-stop break that’s packed with big nights out and 18-30s fun, Playa del Ingles will be right up your street. It’s lively by day with a cracking golden sandy beach and a bustling resort, and by night, the tempo really hots up with stacks of different bars, clubs and discos that spring into action as the sun goes down.
Neighbouring Playa del Ingles is Maspalomas. This large, popular resort is home to the famous sand dunes – a protected nature reserve and a vast ocean of golden sand that resembles something of a mini Sahara. Explore it on foot or, even better, by camel – and grab some memorable photos for the mantlepiece back home! If you’re after a holiday to Gran Canaria that’s got a bit of life without going overboard, Maspalomas is a great resort with a bustling vibe that offers plenty of great shops and boutiques, not to mention a lively ambience by night thanks to its selection of bars and restaurants.
