Hedonists will find their haven in Playa Del Ingles, whether you’re looking to unwind on a vast sandy beach or dance the night away in a waterfront bar. Playa Del Ingles boasts one of the world’s most-celebrated climates, featuring stunning coastal scenery, exciting theme parks and limitless nightlife.
Things to see
Take a refreshing dip at Playa Del Ingles, the resort town’s famous three-kilometre-long beach. A paradise for partygoers, this beach is ideal for napping under giant palms, relaxing to the chilled tunes of live DJs and sampling local seafood. At night, check out Pacha or Tipsy Hammock Bar, the island’s most popular nightspots.
Venture further along the coastline and you’ll hit the Maspalomas Dunes, a vast network of sandy peaks reminiscent of the Sahara Desert. A camel ride through this unique landscape offers a memorable experience, but for a truly spectacular vision, walk through the dunes at dusk.
Enjoy a day of family fun at Aqualand Maspalomas, Gran Canaria’s largest water park. Ride a multitude of water slides, splash about in the wave pool or float down the lazy river. Travel back to the Wild West at Sioux City Park. From boot-scootin' classes to cowboy duals and a well-stocked saloon, it's a Western adventure you won't forget.
Outdoor enthusiasts can hike to Roque Nublo, Gran Canaria’s iconic rock formation. For the best views, follow the Nublo Circular Route through the Tejeda crater. Take a day trip to the historic town of Arucas and marvel at one of the island’s most precious architectural gems, the Gaudi-like Arucas’ Church.
