You’ll find Suites & Villas By Dunas tucked behind Maspalomas’ iconic dunes, in a peaceful pocket between Maspalomas and upmarket Meloneras. The setting feels secluded and leafy, yet you’re only a short hop by bus or taxi from designer shops, seafront cafés and the golden sands that make this corner of Gran Canaria so famous.

This area is fab for families: Holiday World, Aqualand and the wide Maspalomas beach are all within easy reach, while Playa del Inglés’ buzzier nightlife is close enough for an evening out but far enough not to disturb the resort’s calm, garden setting.

• 1.6km to Meloneras resort centre (designer shops, promenade and restaurants)
• 1.9km to Maspalomas beach and dunes

You’ll eat well here, especially if you’re travelling with hungry kids or teens. The main Buffet Restaurant Suites serves generous buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner with show cooking at all three meals – expect a mix of international favourites and Canary-inspired dishes, plus handy highchairs and microwaves for little ones.

In the evenings, the relaxed Bar Hall “Taste” lounge bar (10:30–23:00) is the go-to for pre- or post-dinner drinks, while the Disco Bar Suites & Villas (18:00–00:00) hosts part of the evening entertainment. During the day, the pool bar (10:00–18:00) keeps you topped up with drinks and light bites between splashes.

A smart dress code may apply (no beachwear; long trousers for gentlemen in the evening). Opening times, reservations, and any supplements can vary by season and board; check current details in resort.
