Gran Canarias appeal starts with its beaches, they are stunning. On one hand, you’ve got larger than life costal resorts of Playa del Ingles and Maspalolmas where sunbathing is serious business and so it the nightlife, the neon variety. On the other hand, you’ve got the sleepier town of Puerto Rico, where the beaches come with more space and the evening entertainment is a little more low-key.
​
Top Tourist Destinations: 
Playa Del Ingles
This is a purpose-built island brimming with purpose-built apartment complexes and hotels, big-name nightclubs and a Saharan-sized beach. Come summer, it draws a younger crowd but with its long list of activities, it’s a family favourite too.
Maspalolmas
This is a quieter, more sophisticated version of its neighbour Playa Del Ingles. Instead of big shopping and nightclubs, it serves up first-class restaurants and designer boutiques, all next to a standout beach.
Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is a fun-loving resort with a modern feel, squeezed into the steep slopes of a volcanic valley are tall white hotels and large shopping complexes that are experts in duty-free shopping, international cuisine and 5* entertainment.
