Map & location

San Agustín, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain

San Agustín is the calm, residential end of Gran Canaria’s main southern resort area. The hotel stands on the slope above the coast, so many rooms and terraces look out over the Atlantic, and the sandy beach and seafront promenade are a short walk downhill.

Follow the promenade west and you reach the beaches of Playa del Inglés and, beyond them, the great sand dunes of Maspalomas – a protected nature reserve and one of the island’s icons. The shopping centres, restaurants and nightlife of Playa del Inglés are about five minutes away by taxi or bus.

San Agustín beach about 500m
Playa del Inglés centre about 3km
Maspalomas dunes about 4.5km
Puerto de Mogán about 22km
Approx. transfer time from airport (LPA – Gran Canaria) 25–30 minutes
