Cordial Mogan Playa sits in Puerto Mogan, one of Gran Canaria’s most charming resorts. Nicknamed “Little Venice” for its canals and whitewashed houses draped in bougainvillea, this is a relaxed, photogenic base with a golden-sand beach and pretty marina.

The hotel is opposite a small shopping centre for everyday bits, and a pleasant 10–15-minute stroll (around 750m) brings you to the resort centre, promenade and beach. Evenings here are about al fresco dining and soft live music rather than loud clubs – ideal if you prefer a calmer atmosphere after a day in the sun.
