Gran Canaria Princess

The perfect combination between an authentic beach holiday and all the advantages and comforts of an urban lifestyle. This is what the impressive 4 star hotel Gran Canaria Princess offers, located in the heart of Playa del Inglés, near the mile long golden sand beach of the same name.

The area known as La Playa del Inglés comprises the east coast of the Maspalomas dunes, from Punta Maspalomas to Playa de San Agustín, in the south of the island. It is an area that offers a multitude of options for the practice of water sports in Gran Canaria, as we will tell you later. This is due to the optimal conditions of sea and wind, together with the temperature of the water (between 18 and 22 degrees centigrade on average), which favour the practice of sports in the water and on the sand.

Our adults-only hotel (16+) offers guests a complete holiday, with the right mix of relaxation, quality food and a varied programme of sports and leisure activities.

The Zen-style wellness area offers you the chance to relax and unwind, thanks to the Turkish bath, the Balinese beds and the whirlpools. If you want to renew your energy and feel like new at the end of your holiday, here you will be in the right place.

Furthermore, throughout the hotel you will find spaces that invite you to well-being and tranquillity, rest and relaxation, such as our chill out terraces, the pool bars and the hotel’s own hall, with rest areas, free Wi-Fi connection and internet terminals.

As our goal is to take care of you in every aspect, we not only offer you the area and services for disconnection, but we also take care of your health. On the one hand, the hotel has, among other sporting facilities, a gymnasium, a multisports court and pool and table tennis tables, so that you can practise sport whenever you want, and continue to take care of yourself during your holidays. We also offer you a full programme of daily activities and entertainment to keep you active.

On the other hand, if we talk about health, it is necessary to talk about food. And here too we have everything in mind: we have reserved for you the best gastronomy to feed the palate with the most delicious and healthy canarian typical cuisine dishes.

In our two restaurants, every element is taken care of in detail, starting from the selection and quality of the food, through the preparation by our chefs, to the presentation at the table. A real show not only for the palate, but also for sight, touch and smell!

In the main restaurant with terrace, you can taste local and international specialities (so you don’t stop feeling at home), served in buffet and with live kitchen stations. At the Bohio restaurant, we serve a la carte dishes and a selection of snacks.

In this modern and minimalist hotel (the designer furniture and decorative elements set the tone), you can benefit from all the advantages of city life. The commercial and leisure area is nearby: the Yumbo shopping centre is located at a short distance from the hotel and is very popular with the LGTB collective, as it is the epicentre of the gay pride parties in Maspalomas. Besides the important commercial offer of this centre, it is worth mentioning that at night it becomes a place full of colour and joy where you can dance and spend unforgettable summer nights.

If you want some ideas of what to do in Gran Canaria during the long days of your stay, below we suggest some places of interest in Gran Canaria.

MASPALOMAS DUNES

Very close to our hotel, these famous dunes are a must see, because there is nothing like the view of a fascinating desert at the foot of the Atlantic Ocean. The dunes of Maspalomas have everything to look like a reproduction of the desert, including an oasis, which in this case is the pond of Maspalomas, very close to the lighthouse of Maspalomas, also very famous.

PLAYA DEL INGLÉS AND MASPALOMAS

La Playa del Inglés is a perfect beach for urbanites, with a high level of development that guarantees all the amenities you can expect. During the day, it is a good place to practice water and sand sports as a couple or with friends, as well as for family holidays. At night it has a very young and festive atmosphere. We also recommend visiting Playa de San Agustín, a well-known but fairly quiet tourist area.

VILLAGE OF FATAGA

Sheltered by the Fataga ravine, the little village of the same name is hidden among cliffs and palm trees in the south of the island. It preserves the typical Canarian rural architecture, with its narrow, cobbled streets, along which colourful flowers abound in contrast to the white facades.

GUAIADEQUE CANYON

One of the largest canyons in the Canary archipelago, known for its pre-Hispanic archaeological remains (there are many cave-houses that have been preserved) and its valuable wealth of flora and fauna that is unique to the island. It is a perfect place for hiking (to enjoy the walk along the palm-filled slopes and the transition areas to the thermophilic forest) and other activities.

These are some of the sites of interest in Gran Canaria that are close to our hotel, in the south zone and its surroundings; but it is not even a minimum part of what the island has reserved for you. Come and see for yourself!
