Discover traditional island charm and spectacular scenery with Gran Canaria holidays.
The third largest of the Canary Islands, Gran Canaria is sometimes referred to as a miniature continent because of its variety of landscapes and microclimates. With 128 beaches on the island, Gran Canaria holidays are ideal for beach lovers.
Probably the most famous - and most striking - is Maspalomas, on the island's southern tip, with its seemingly endless golden dunes. On the opposite end of the island, Playa de Las Canteras in the centre of the capital Las Palmas boasts nearly two and a half miles of pristine white sand.
But there's more to Gran Canaria than just its beautiful beaches. Over forty per cent of Gran Canaria is protected UNESCO biosphere reserve, and the mountainous interior and the verdant north-west of the island offer cool temperatures and breath-taking scenery
