Your Free Time, Just as You Imagine It
The Canary Islands are the perfect place to enjoy leisure at your own pace. Whether you’re after outdoor adventures, sports, culture, or evenings filled with music and good vibes, at Princess Canarias you’ll find a wide range of activities both in and out of the hotel. Enjoy shows, games, excursions, or simply soak up the positive energy that permeates every corner of the archipelago.
Gran Canaria: Fun at Any Time of Day
In the south of Gran Canaria, each day can become a new adventure. Beyond the comfort of the Princess hotels, there’s a wide variety of options for young people and adults seeking active, social, and unforgettable experiences. From boat trips and water sports to beach clubs, markets, and nightlife, young leisure in Gran Canaria blends sea, music, scenery, and great company. It’s also worth visiting Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the capital, where the urban atmosphere, cultural events, live concerts, and beachside terraces at Las Canteras add a more cosmopolitan touch to the experience.
Beach Clubs, Cocktails and Music by the Sea
The area of Meloneras and Playa del Inglés, just minutes from Maspalomas-Tabaiba Princess and Gran Canaria Princess, offers one of the island’s most modern and cosmopolitan leisure scenes. All along the southwest coast, beach clubs such as Chester Meloneras or Maroa Club de Mar in Anfi del Mar are ideal for those seeking a relaxed daytime vibe that becomes more lively at sunset. Signature cocktails, DJs, and breathtaking sunsets come together to create the perfect plan for couples or groups of friends.
Water Sports and Boat Trips from Puerto Rico
From the hotels at Playa de Taurito, getting to Puerto Rico harbour is easy. From there, you can enjoy some of the area’s most fun water activities: catamaran cruises with music and open bar, jet skiing, parasailing, or even dolphin-watching tours. Paddleboarding and kayaking are also possible in the calm waters of Playa de Amadores, just a short drive away. Ideal for those wanting a mix of adrenaline, sea, and outdoor fun.
Nightlife in Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas
At night Playa del Inglés transforms into one of the Canary Islands’ most famous nightlife hubs. The Yumbo Centrum stands out, with its lively scene with cocktail bars, live music venues, and nightclubs with DJs, all within an open, welcoming, and vibrant setting.
In Maspalomas, HolidayWorld Maspalomas offers an alternative with amusement park, bowling alley, karaoke, themed bars, and buzzing terraces, making it one of the go-to spots for kicking off the night in the island’s south.
Afternoon Strolls and Tapas in Puerto de Mogán
Puerto de Mogán is a charming coastal village full of character. Its Friday market is one of the most popular in the south, ideal for browsing local crafts, clothes, accessories, and gourmet products. As the afternoon fades, the harbour’s terraces are perfect for sharing a platter of Canarian cheeses or traditional Gran Canarian tapas, overlooking the moored boats. A relaxed and sociable plan to enjoy the surroundings at your own pace.
