Playa del Ingles in Gran Canaria

Playa del Inglés

Beach and tourist area of Playa del Inglés

Playa del Inglés is one of the best-known tourist areas in the south of Gran Canaria. It is a destination prepared for a comfortable vacation, with beach, restaurants, bars, shops, shopping centers, activities for all ages and good connection by public transport.

It is not a local or quiet area like other destinations on the island. Here you will find Tourist atmosphere, movement for much of the day and an active nightlife in some areas. It is a practical option for those who want to have services, leisure and beach near the accommodation.

Playa del Inglés beach is an extensive beach of golden sand, connected with the dunes of Maspalomas and the Maspalomas lighthouse. The dunes are part of a protected natural space and must be traversed always respecting signage and enabled trails.

Nearby are commercial areas known as Yumbo Centrum, Cita Shopping Center, Plaza Maspalomas or Annex II, with restaurants, shops, supermarkets, leisure and tourist services. There are also activity options such as golf, minigolf, water parks, excursions, bike routes, diving and water sports.

Playa del Inglés is suitable for those looking to stay in a tourist area with services on hand, good connection in bus or taxi and easy access to the beach, the dunes and other points in the south of Gran Canaria.

If you also want to discover the island beyond the tourist area, it can be a good idea to rent a car for one or two days to visit towns, viewpoints, ravines and natural areas of the interior.
