Beyond Maspalomas: Get a Glimpse of Gran Canaria’s Gems

2 May, 2018

Laidback and lovely: that, in a nutshell, describes a holiday on Gran Canaria, an island that’s widely known for its black lava landscapes and white sand beaches. If you’re looking for a leisurely escape from your everyday responsibilities (and the joke that is summer in the UK), why not recharge your batteries in Maspalomas, one of Gran Canaria’s top destinations for sun seekers? While there’s often nothing better than a lazy day of basking in the sun and a refreshing

Playa del Inglés: A Clubbing Bonanza

20 April, 2017

So you and your mates have all agreed that you’re overdue a serious lads’ holiday – no other halves, no kids and definitely no killjoys! You’ve probably already worked out that Spain’s Canary Islands offer everything you need, from loads of sunshine and beaches to clubs, pubs and a full English breakfast the morning after (or let’s be honest, more likely the afternoon after). But which of all the great resorts on all the different islands should you choose?

Well, I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that if you’re looking for a full-on party holiday where you can drink until dawn, collapse on a sunbed all day and then do it all again the next night, the location for you is Playa del Inglés on Grand Canaria.

Puerto Rico: A Budget and Child Friendly Holiday Destination

12 April, 2017

In search of a warm, cheerful, fun, affordable and family-friendly holiday destination? You might think that a place that ticks all of the boxes does not exist, but you would be wrong. Puerto Rico is a superb place for families that do not want to spend a fortune or sacrifice entertainment that will keep the kids happy (no, not the island near Cuba – those flights wouldn’t be budget friendly!).

Puerto Rico is a holiday resort located on the south-west coast of Gran Canaria. Due to its exotic location just off the coast of Western Africa, you can enjoy a fabulous climate here that is kept comfortable by the cooling sea breeze. Many holidaymakers simply flop on the beach during their stay and soak up the sun, but there is plenty to explore and a wide range of fun, safe and friendly places that are geared towards children.

A Luxury Holiday in Maspalomas

I believe that the best type of holidays are the ones where you can fully unwind and relax – this always helps you to feel fully recharged and fresh when you return home.

11 February, 2015

The Spring is proving an ever more popular time of year to go on holiday as the weather in the Mediterranean is guaranteed to be good, which definitely cannot be said for most parts of Europe. As we go in search of the ideal places to find a reliable climate at this time of year, the Canary Islands, just off Africa’s North West coast, often spring to mind, and it is little wonder why.
