Seaside Sandy Beach places you in the heart of Playa Del Ingles, Gran Canaria’s best-known resort. Step outside and you’re a short walk from the lively resort centre with its shops, bars and restaurants, while the gently shelving golden sands of Playa Del Ingles beach are just down the hill. The 8km swathe of sand links to Maspalomas’ famous dunes in one direction and San Agustín in the other, so you can vary your beach days with ease.

By night, the commercial centres light up with live music, cabaret and clubs, but back at the hotel the mood is more relaxed, with evening entertainment and a sociable bar terrace.

Playa Del Ingles resort centre: approx. 200m
Playa Del Ingles beach: approx. 290m
Maspalomas sand dunes: approx. 3km

Playa Del Ingles, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain

The main buffet restaurant is the hotel’s culinary hub, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with live show cooking and a mix of international favourites, Canarian specials and healthier options. Its terrace setting is ideal for long, al fresco meals, and there’s a children’s menu and highchairs for younger guests.

Evenings continue at the Bar Salón cocktail bar, set on the terrace and open into the night for cocktails and live entertainment. Down by the pool, a pool bar keeps drinks flowing through the day, while a snack bar on the terrace serves light bites and afternoon treats – perfect if you’re staying All Inclusive.

A smart-casual dress code applies in the restaurant and bars (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen in the evening). Reservations or supplements may apply to certain items depending on your board basis, and opening hours can vary seasonally.

Choose All Inclusive, Half Board or B&B – and if you’re weighing up All Inclusive, see what All Inclusive typically includes.

The hotel features three outdoor saltwater pools, including:

– A main pool with children’s section, sun terrace, sunbeds and parasols
– Two separate heated children’s pools with their own sunbathing spaces

Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, so you can travel lighter.

When you’re ready for the ocean, it’s an easy walk – around 290m – down to Playa Del Ingles beach, a wide, golden stretch with plenty of space to find your spot, plus watersports, cafés and access along the coast to Maspalomas and San Agustín.

Wellbeing is a major draw here. The spa includes a sauna and steam room, with a menu of massages and beauty treatments plus an on-site hairdresser (minimum age 16 years; charges apply).

The air-conditioned gym offers cardio machines, free weights, a stretching zone and fixed strength equipment. If you prefer to mix exercise with fun, there’s aerobics, aqua aerobics, darts, pilates, snooker (chargeable), tennis and yoga.

Cyclists benefit from dedicated cycling services including bike hire, guided rides and repair and maintenance facilities (local charges apply) – Gran Canaria’s volcanic interior and coastal routes are particularly popular with road and mountain bikers.
