Explore A New World With Gran Canaria Hotels

Every year thousands of holidaymakers are drawn like a magnet to Gran Canaria, because of its year long summer, amazing entertainment options and its glittering beaches. A trip to the island will feel like you’re exploring some far flung exotic continent, because of its astonishing climates from green forests, to high-scaling rocks and mountains. There are hotels in Gran Canaria to meet any requirements, whether it is a beach holiday, self catering or all inclusive you’re after.

Windsurfing
There might be no more perfect a place to windsurf than Gran Canaria, which is evident from the display of windsurfers, practicing up and down the coast. Playa de las Canteras in Las Palmas and in Gáldar on the north coast are some of the places with the most excellent conditions. Beginning windsurfers should stick to more protected areas, like Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogán, while those with more experience with the sport might want to visit Pozo Isquierdo and Playa de Vargas where winds can reach up to 60 mph.

Sailing
Around Las Palmas, there is a lot of sailing activity, with the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC) and many south coast cities also feature sailing, including Pasito Blanco, Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogán and Arguineguin. Beginners can learn easily, as there are plenty of schools around the location, with the choice to rent sailing equipment.

Diving
Looking to learn scuba diving? Then you might be surprised to learn that many hotels in Gran Canaria offer certified diving schools on the premises. These schools also lead diving excursions and rent equipment to experienced divers so they can swim in the clear waters, which teem with colourful tropical fishes and exotic sea life. Make a point to visit the marine reserve of El Cabrón, which forms a type of underwater aquarium, as well as two shipwrecks found at Pasito Blanco.

Jet Skiing, Parasailing and Kayaking
Many large Gran Canaria hotels and resorts provide access to these types of water sports. For a calmer ride, there are banana boat rides sea kayaks or pedal boats, but those who like to get their heart’s pounding, there’s parasailing or jet skiing.

Deep Sea Fishing
A large variety of big fish thrive in the temperate Gran Canaria waters, including tuna, marlin, swordfish and sharks. Gran Canaria is the ideal place to go deep sea fishing, with its credible 50 years of sea fishing awards. Setting off from the harbours of Puerto Rico, Pasito Blanco and Puerto de Mogán, a number of companies offer deep sea fishing excursions from May to September.
