Tucked between the working fishing port of Arguineguín and the open Atlantic, Cordial Santa Agueda Resort sits on Gran Canaria’s quieter south-west coast. This is an area known for its traditional Canarian character and excellent fresh fish rather than thumping nightlife, with colourful boats bobbing in the harbour and a long promenade for easy seaside strolls.

From the resort, El Perchel Beach Club is just 100m away on the waterfront, and you can walk to Santa Águeda and Arguineguín beaches for a change of scene. The Tuesday market in Arguineguín is a must for local crafts and island produce, while Maspalomas dunes and the livelier resorts further east are within easy day-trip range by car or bus.

Wake to a leisurely breakfast at the buffet restaurant, where hot and cold favourites are served with live show-cooking and handy extras like microwaves and highchairs for families.

Your included access to El Perchel Beach Club massively broadens the dining choice. Here, the focus is on destination-style venues that make the most of the sea views:
• El Refectorio De Ágata – refined à la carte dinners (smart dress, long trousers for gentlemen requested).
• La Arrocería – lunchtime Spanish rice dishes and local specialities, with kids’ menus and highchairs available.
• Nami Sushi Bar – light, contemporary Japanese plates at lunch with ocean views.
• Oxean Bar – relaxed, seafront dining with a Canarian twist.
• Cocktail Bar – signature drinks and classic cocktails from late morning through to evening, depending on occupancy.

Reservations may be required and some venues or menu items carry supplements depending on your board basis and season; opening days and hours can vary.

You’re spoiled for choice between the resort’s own pools and the statement infinity pool at El Perchel Beach Club:

• Resort rooftop pools – on the resort’s roof terrace you’ll find a heated freshwater pool and a separate heated children’s pool, both with sunbeds and parasols. Heating typically operates from 1 November to 31 March.
• El Perchel Beach Club infinity pool – a show-stopping heated pool overlooking the Atlantic, complete with sunbeds and Balinese beds (sunbed policy and charges vary; see below).
• Children’s splash park – water cannons, sprinklers and waterfalls keep younger guests entertained for hours at the beach club (usually open 11:00–19:00, dependent on occupancy).

Sunbed use at El Perchel Beach Club is particularly generous mid-week: adults staying at the resort have free use of one sunbed per adult Monday to Friday, subject to availability. Children under 12 share with adults; extra sunbeds incur a local charge. On Saturdays, Sundays and Spanish bank holidays, there is a local fee for all sunbeds, but resort guests benefit from a 50% discount (again subject to availability).

You’re also a short stroll from Santa Águeda beach and the sands of Arguineguín for more traditional beach days.

Wellness and activity facilities are shared between the resort and El Perchel Beach Club, giving you the feel of a small resort complex:

• Gym – air-conditioned fitness room with cardio machines and free weights (minimum age 16 years; typical opening 07:00–19:00, subject to occupancy).
• Spa area* – sauna, steam room and a menu of massage and beauty treatments at the beach club (18+, reservations and local charges apply; usual opening 11:00–18:00, subject to change).
• Watersports* – windsurfing and more operated by an independent provider from the beach (availability and prices vary).
• Bike storage & hire* – ideal if you’d like to explore Gran Canaria’s coastal road or inland scenery on two wheels.
• On-site mini-market – handy for stocking up your apartment kitchen with basics, snacks and drinks.

Facilities and opening hours may change across the season and can be adjusted according to occupancy.
