The best spots to enjoy Gran Canaria with the family
Gran Canaria, a bustling island that the whole family will love for all it has to offer. The island is so diverse in terms of landscapes and things to do that it is known for being a miniature continent. Enjoy an unforgettable experience with your family on an island located in the heart of the Canary archipelago.
You can all enjoy a sunny day near the Maspalomas Dunes, a special nature reserve that forms a desert of fine golden sand. Near Maspalomas, you can take a stroll with the little ones in the village of Mogán. Ice-cream parlours, restaurants overlooking the harbour and a breathtaking sunset await you for a peaceful afternoon. It is an ideal place for children to run and play in the flower-filled streets of this corner of the island.
In Gran Canaria, you can also have fun in amusement parks or leisure areas with the whole family. We have a special mention for Holiday World Maspalomas, an amusement park where you will find a Ferris wheel, several escape rooms, a bowling alley, karaokes, a food and drink area and much more.
For those who enjoy exploring the underwater world, the Poema del Mar aquarium, located in the capital, is an essential place to visit. You will get to know different marine species such as sharks, manta rays, jellyfish and many more. Also in the capital, you can spend a relaxing afternoon at Las Canteras Beach. This is a large beach with golden sand, perfect for resting and regaining energy. For the more restless, it also offers a wide variety of activities such as surfing, kayaking, snorkelling and scuba diving to discover the prolific marine life that inhabits the coastline of this part of the island.
