Hit rest and reset with Gran Canaria's year-round sunshine and vast golden shores at this smart townhouse offering up direct access to the sheltered beaches of Playa Pasito Blanco in a quiet residential complex.

Spend lazy, hazy mornings by the sandy beach, then beat the heat with a cooling dip in the complex's palm-fringed shared pool. There are sea view cabanas if the urge for a cheeky siesta takes over. Or head home for drinks on your private terrace overlooking the shared pool. 

Inside, you'll love the crisp, contemporary interiors that unite this three-storey townhouse. The place dazzles from top to toe in crisp white, while nautical stripes remind you the deep blue sea is never far away. Over in the pared-back, light-filled bedrooms, kids will love the novelty of the ground-floor bedroom with bunkbeds. While grown-ups can have that top floor suite with a private terrace all to themselves – the perfect spot for peaceful morning coffees to kickstart your day.

If little ones are still full of beans after a day at the beach, the shared playground will keep them happy. Then mosey down to the marina (a five-minute stroll) to gawp at the superyachts before dinner at one of the complex's restaurants. Or, for something a little buzzier, jump in the car for an evening in Meloneras (a five-minute drive). The beach bars and grill restaurants lining the Paseo de las Meloneras waterfront are just the spot for soaking up the sunsets.

Say a Little Playa

Access to Beach

Set back from the sandy shores of Maspalomas Beach, this modern apartment is a comfortable base from which to explore Gran Canaria’s south coast. Inside, there’s a bright and breezy open-plan living space with a wall of sliding glass that encourages indoor-outdoor living. After putting together a tasty breakfast in the sleek kitchenette, enjoy on the balcony as a salty breeze drifts through the home. 

Spend early afternoons strolling along the golden sands just three minutes from your doorstep or jump in the car and head over to Playa de San Agustín for a stroll along the promenade and some snorkelling in the crystal-clear water. If you fancy a change of scenery, the Maspalomas Dunes are a ten-minute drive away, while the rugged Pilancones Natural Park is reached in just under an hour. When the day draws to a close, head home to catch the sunset before resting your weary head in quiet bedrooms, ready to do it all again tomorrow.

Ochre Horizon

Bathtub

Access to Gym / Spa

You've got the best of both worlds at this contemporary villa, set within one of Gran Canaria's most exclusive golf retreats and just an eight-minute drive from expansive golden sands and rolling dunes of Maspalomas beach and Playa del Inglés.

Friends getting together for a holiday will love how spacious this home feels, with two bedrooms spaced apart across the two-storey villa and offering up private shower rooms and direct access to suntrap verandas. But it's that outdoor terrace downstairs with a private heated pool and views of the fairways and mountains beyond that's caught our attention – it's the perfect spot to toast the day with drinks and a barbecue.

When it's time to hit the fairways of the resort's 18-hole golf course, it's just a 200-metre shot away. However, you don't need to be a dab hand with the clubs to enjoy the perks of this resort. Located on the grounds of a luxurious hotel complex, there are plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained (for an additional fee) – think playroom, playground, and kids club. And a spa and shared sunset infinity pool and bar for post-game relaxation. When thoughts turn to food, book yourself a table at the resort's renowned brasserie or mooch into Maspalomas for the evening at one of its smart seafront tavernas.

Fire Extinguisher

This sparkling villa is tailor-made for large families or groups of friends looking for private luxury in rural Gran Canaria. Blessed with tranquility and boasting a fun-filled games room, it has the vibe of a five-star hotel that's reserved just for you. 

A huge open-plan living space – decorated in white walls and with tinges of colour on the furniture – is perfect for spending time as one group. However, when the sun sets on the terracotta tiles, you probably want to spend time outdoors. 

The huge terrace is adorned by intimate seating areas, comfy sun beds and, of course, the glistening pool. Every member of the group can fit in the pool, making it an idyllic spot for games of volleyball or water polo. Continuing the competitive side, get the rallies going during table tennis or practice your shooing at table football. 

Come the peace of the evening, there are two cute dining tables on the terrace, perfect for sharing tapas and a bottle of Cava. If you wanted to get out and discover the island, the charming restaurants and bars of Maspalomas are just a short drive away.

24-Hour Security

Situated within a villa complex less than ten minutes' drive from Maspolamas, this recently renovated home will sing to those fond of contemporary design.

Large windows and glass doors bring plenty of natural light into the interior and this asset works particularly well with the wealth of reflective surfaces and stark white walls. There's a preference for minimalism in everything from the sleek kitchen to the pared-back approach to decoration, and we think the host has nailed it.

Besides, you might not actually be spending all that much time indoors, what with the swimming pool out in the garden, along with the barbecue and covered terrace complete with a lounge and alfresco dining table. Here, it's welcomingly easy to make the most of Gran Canaria's year-round warmth.

Elsewhere in the complex, there's a golf course 200m away from the home, as well as entertainment for children and a couple of shops and restaurants. You can also reach many of the beaches that run along the southern coastline of the island in under ten minutes' drive, while the Dunes of Maspalomas don't take much longer, either.

The interior is formed by deluxe furnishings and the outdoor space is decorated in cute seating spots – this cosy villa is an oasis of comfort in every aspect. 

For the days where you just fancy chilling indoors, there are three smart TV's and a vibrant open-plan living space to relax. Wander into the colourful garden and you'll feel like you're truly on holiday. A pool is tucked around the corner and snug seating spots shape the area. 

On the warm, sunny afternoons, the pool is an idyllic spot to bask under the gentle rays. Grab a drink from the fridge to cool down, or immerse in a sunbathing session on the sun beds. Come the evening, share tapas, paella and a bottle of wine on the outdoor dining table. 

When the sun sets on the colourful outdoors, snuggle up in a cushioned seat to watch the sky turn a dusty red. You can even head to the beach for sunset – or any time you fancy – for a dreamy summer setting. And of course, there's a world-class golf-course on the resort that's waiting to be discovered.

Green Dunes

If you want to be in the heart of Playa del Inglés, then this home could be for you. The Yumbo Centre, with its LGBT bars, clubs, restaurants, and supermarkets, is just 250 metres away. The beach, on the other hand, is 950 metres away. Or you could take a dip in this home's private above-ground plunge pool (there's a fee if you want it heated). There's a larger communal pool in the development, too, if you want to swim some lengths. This home is ideal for friends or a family looking for a central location.

In the vibrant resort town of Maspalomas, this family-sized villa puts golf courses, sand dune beaches and a shopping mall on your doorstep. It’s a two-minute drive to the nearest golf course and a five-minute drive to the dunes of Maspalomas Beach (or half-hour walk if you fancy). 

Once you’ve had your fill of the Saharan-style landscape, head back to this plush villa to cool off in the private swimming pool. Loungers sit on the astroturf out here and there’s outdoor dining around the corner, on the covered patio. Open up the glass doors to the living room, and blend indoors with outdoors. Mustard-yellow sofas and ink-black artworks create a stylish seating area, and the kitchen just behind has everything you need for self-catering. If you’re not dining outside (there’s a gas grill out here too) then you can have a quick meal at the sleek, black breakfast bar. Those that need to work remotely will appreciate the pristine white dedicated office.

These modern two and three-bedroom Los Lagos Villas offer breathtaking views of the Salobre Golf course and mountains beyond. The contemporary décor is fresh and stylish, with an outdoor seating area perfect for enjoying meals in the sun while admiring the stunning views. Each villa boasts its own private pool, and there is also a large communal pool within the development. The villas are conveniently located near holiday resort restaurants and bars, with the upmarket town of Maspalomas just a ten-minute drive away. Guests staying here receive a 15% discount on the two onsite golf courses. Enjoy all that Salobre Golf Resort has to offer by visiting https://www.solmarvillas.com/salobre-golf-resort.aspx for more information.

The Sauza

Throws

Overlooking a lush green golf course and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, this nectarine-coloured villa is the definition of a tropical escape. We could spend all day here lolling about on the terrace, admiring those views – all that's missing is a refreshing cocktail and a magazine. For catnaps in the fresh air, there's no better spot than the Balinese bed, while the heated swimming pool is the perfect place to cool off on sweltering summer afternoons. The whole villa faces west to make the most of the sunshine – as such, it's no surprise that the sunsets here are pretty spectacular. We think they pair best with grilled seafood (locally sourced, of course) and a bottle of Gran Canarian white wine, all enjoyed alfresco as the night rolls in.

When you're ready for adventure, you won't need to travel far. Enjoy a day on the links at the complex's golf course – you'll receive a special discount – or treat yourself to dinner and drinks at the restaurants on-site. Fancy a beach day? Playa de Maspalomas is a sixteen-minute drive away and famous for its vast sand dunes – it's a can't-miss while you're in town.

Citrus Nectar

Hot Tub

Small but utterly charming, this tiny apricot-coloured villa on the coast of Gran Carnia is perfect for a family getaway or couples retreat. Inside, the bright and modern interior is a haven from the sun. Rustle up a meal in the sleek kitchen, snooze in the comfortable bedrooms and relax in the living area with a film after a long day. But the real draw is the tiny garden. It may be pocket-sized, but it packs a punch – soak your troubles away in the hot tub, fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast or sprawl out in the sunshine on the lounge chairs. There's even a balcony off the master bedroom where you can sip wine and watch the ocean waves roll in. When you need to cool off, take a dip in the shared swimming pool or grab your beach gear and hit the sand – Playa del Inglés is a seven-minute walk away. A vast array of bars, restaurants and shops are also within easy reach, so when you don't feel like cooking, you'll have plenty of options. 

Apricot Waves

Situated on a golfing resort and just a short drive to the beach, this cosy villa satisfies every style of holiday. Golf fanatics can hit the lush greens in the day time, whilst the beach-lovers can lay their towels on the golden sand. It's a location that caters to every vibe.

In between swinging from the tee and swimming in the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea, you'll probably need some down time at the villa. The dreamy outdoor space is where you'll spend most of your time, whether it's taking a dip in the pool or lounging on the sun beds.

A cute outdoor table is tucked under the veranda, perfect for sharing freshly made tapas and a crisp glass of Rioja wine. There's also a table inside, sheltered from the scorching rays of the sun, for the snug nights in.

When the orange hues of sunset illuminate the villa, make your way to the balcony on the second floor. Bring a camera to capture the romance of the moment with your favourite people.

This apartment takes modernity to a whole new level with gadgets and smart gear galore. It’s in the south of Gran Canaria, within walking distance of Maspalomas’ other-worldly sand dunes and there are restaurants and bars on the doorstep. Guests here have access to a shared swimming pool – the perfect tonic to the suntrap of a private rooftop terrace. The open living, kitchen and dining room is awash with light thanks to conservatory-style glass which is just what you want on sunny Gran Canaria. For those working remotely, one of the bedrooms has a dedicated laptop desk. 

Golden Elegance

Located close to Gran Canaria's southernmost tip, this Playa del Inglés villa places you within reach of a gorgeous stretch of sandy beach and the dunes at Dunas de Maspalomas. There are a few quirks here – the ensuite is entirely visible from the main bedroom, and there's a TV room that juts out into the terrace, though this at least offers a nice spot to stay close to the sun lovers outside when you need some shade. It's the terrace that sold this home to us – though it's on the small side, the walls ensure privacy as you enjoy a dip in the private pool or dine alfresco in the sun.


Nestled in the heart of Playa del Inglés, you'll find your perfect holiday retreat - The property. Immerse yourself in the serene and enchanting atmosphere of this modern and comfortable villa. Relax in the lush private garden, take a refreshing dip in the pristine swimming pool, or indulge in a quiet moment under the outdoor shower. With air conditioning, a washing machine, and all-season motor access, your every convenience is catered for. Inside, you'll discover a spacious living/dining area with local TV, providing a home away from home. Each of the three beautifully appointed bedrooms offers a peaceful haven to rest and rejuvenate. The open kitchen is fully equipped for culinary adventures. Step onto the patio and savor the tranquility while lounging on the terrace furniture or soaking up the sun on one of the four deck chairs. Book your stay at The property and experience a delightful retreat like no other.

Single-Level Home

With its textured walls, honey-coloured shutters and shingled roof, this charming casa was made for laidback holidays. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that it’s opposite a ten-kilometre stretch of sandy coastline either. The interior is resolutely modern, with white walls, shiny fittings and minimalist decorations. But it’s outside where the magic happens. In your wraparound garden, you’ll find multiple seating areas, including an elegant white-and-grey, shaded patio, sun loungers, a private pool, a beautiful stone grill and the cherry on top – a wet bar for experimental cocktail evenings as the sun goes down. 

And we aren’t quite finished yet – if you’re wondering why a single-storey home has a staircase to the side, it’s because you’ll find a hidden terrace up on the roof, where you can laze in the sunshine and look out to the beach to watch the waves roll in. When you aren’t bobbing over the currents in the warm waters – the ocean temperature fluctuates from 20-24 degrees year-round – head to the complex’s shared pool to rinse off the sea salt and mingle with the neighbours.

Stucco Señorita

Satellite / Cable TV

Work on your glow from this sunny spot on Gran Canaria's south coast. The modern villa comes with shared access to a heated pool and a roof terrace with views across your neighbour's terracotta rooftops. The best bit? Sandy shores and crystalline waters are just a ten-minute walk away.

Whether you're travelling with family or friends, your hosts have ensured you'll have everything you need for a stress-free stay. The living and sleeping spaces are spread across one level and furnished with a contemporary flair. After you've swiped the best bedroom for yourself, turn your attention to the sun-baked terrace, where you can put your feet up on a lounger and feel the revitalising Spanish heat on your skin.

The cascading sand dunes of Maspalomas are a thirty-minute stroll away – this one thousand acre natural reserve overlooks the ocean and promises a memorable experience. If you're up to a drive, try to fit in a trip to the island's capital, Las Palmas, where you can sample local cuisine and peruse the city's finest shopping haunts.

All Good Things

Cute and quaint, this cosy home on the southern coast of Gran Canaria is surrounded by authentic beauty. Playa del Ingles, one of the island's most beautiful beaches, is just a few kilometres away. But that's not even the most alluring sandy spot on the island.

Dunas De Maspalomas – a mesmerising stretch of sand dunes – is just three minutes away by car. The undulating golden tones make you feel like you're strolling through the Sahara, a wonderfully unique experience that belies its Mediterranean location. 

Unlike the Sahara, these sand dunes are closely connected to nearby shops, cafes and restaurants. After a day on the golden grains, relax in a quiet cafe with a glass of sangria or tasty plate of paella. 

After exploring the natural beauty of the surrounding area, the comfort of your home provides a restful retreat. Cook up some juicy chorizo on the BBQ and taste each succulent bite on the cosy outdoor table. After dinner, settle on the comfy cushioned seats to watch the orange shades of sunset. 

The Golden Dunes

If you know your birdies from your eagles, then you'll love this fabulous villa's pitch – it sits within the Salobre Golf Resort, so it's a hop and skip to the greens and fairways. If golf isn't your thing, it's just under a fifteen-minute drive to the magnificent dunes of Maspalomas and the vibrant resort of Playa del Inglés.

We adore the views of the mountains from the pool, terrace and balcony. We can imagine totally unwinding here in the year-round warm temperatures (they don't call this place the Island of Eternal Spring for nothing, you know). Fire up the barbecue for lunch and grill some local produce, and serve with the Canarian spicy sauce, mojo picón.

Inside, your hosts have put a lot of thought into this place, from the plush velvet oversized headboard in the bedroom to the bathroom's botanical wallpaper and marble style finish. Modern and comfortable has been achieved to the tee – nothing is below par here. 




Lava Landscape

On the outskirts of Maspalomas, in the centre of Salobre, this bright, colourful and comfortable villa offers a private pool, gardens and terrace with views of the mountains and ocean in the distance. The balcony’s shaded outdoor sofa seating area is the ideal spot to begin your day with a cafe con leche as you admire the panorama. 

Lounge in the Canarian sunshine before cooling off in the waters of your private pool to enjoy a leisurely swim with a view of the gardens and resort. This home is part of a small resort, so there’s plenty on offer nearby, including a famous beach that stretches for more than 10km where you can enjoy water sports. There is also a golf course – 150m away – for competitive rounds of golf with your friends. Plus, amenities such as grocers, supermarkets and restaurants are within 100 – 600m away. 

In the evening, what could be a better way to end your days here than to dine alfresco on the terrace overlooking the pool and gardens, and mountains beyond? Fire up the barbecue and create some delicious tapas dishes to enjoy together as the sun sets on this fantastic vista. 

Colour Me Under the Sun

Sleek and modern, with barely a blade of grass out of place, this sea-facing villa offers guests a typically beautiful coastal retreat with all the trimmings. Located in Gran Canaria's San Agustín, you'll have a bustling town centre with lively bars, restaurants and family-run tavernas right at your doorstep, not to mention the long stretch of Playa de San Agustín. Spend languorous days sunning yourself silly on the beach, swimming in the sea and topping up your tan, all while knowing the ease of your seaside bolthole is mere footsteps away. Whether you're popping back to the clean-cut kitchen for a simple lunch or seeking respite from the heat of the midday sun in a cosy yet bright living room, it's nice to know you're never too far from home comforts. Stepping outside your front door, there's an immaculately-kept lawn with sun loungers to relax on. Sip Piña coladas from your private garden while enjoying unspoiled sea views. This one's got everything you might need for an endlessly relaxing stay. 

Canary Crossing

Sauna

You'll find sunshine, vistas and golf clubs in abundance at this sea-facing villa in the five-star Salobre Golf Resort – though you don’t need to be a dab hand with the clubs to enjoy your time here. Book a sauna session at the wellness centre, take a yoga class, or go for drinks at one of the resort's many bars. 

We love the layout of this villa, with its crisp, contemporary interiors and floor-to-ceiling windows. Views of the nearby moat and river, and then dramatic hillsides and sea beyond, can be seen from practically every room and terrace. 

Take your morning coffee outside onto the spacious first-floor balcony just off the master bedroom. Then head downstairs for a dip in the pool. When it’s time to cool off, come together under the shaded terraces, or head indoors for lunch in the dining area. Wherever you choose, those incredible views are right there with you. When the sea finally beckons, miles of sandy beach can be found at Meloneras, just a twelve-minute drive away.



Fairway Viewing

With the kind of views you don't see every day, this home is found in the heart of the Salobre Golf Resort. Bound to appeal to golfers (you can watch some of the action from your terrace), it's a great spot for a relaxing break even if you're not a dab hand with clubs. 

Inside, the interiors are modern and fresh – a slate floor and white walls characterise the living space, while the bedrooms are modern and comfy. The covered terrace and lawns look directly over the little river and the striking Gran Canaria hills, all the way to the sea. Even when you dive into the private pool, the drop-side and glass safety barrier mean you can still admire the views. When you need a little shade, retreat to the straw-roofed patio, with its grey sofas and dining set, perfect for cocktails or meals cooked on the barbeque.

Here you'll be able to use the resort's facilities, so there are some shops and restaurants close at hand. When the sea beckons, you're just a ten-minute drive away from the beach at Meloneras. And, if you want to visit the epic Maspalomas Sand Dunes, then you can drive there in just fifteen minutes – don't forget your camera. 

Swing River

Bathrobes

With a sunny patio, glistening pool and bright, modern living space, this apartment has everything you'll need for a getaway in San Agustín. It's no surprise that you'll want to spend every second outside – between the shared poolside lounge chairs and the sandy beach just a few minutes away, there are plenty of places to soak up the sunshine. You're in Gran Canaria, after all – gorgeous weather is par for the course. If you need to cool off, grab a bite to eat at one of the delicious restaurants in town or come home and unwind with a glass of wine in the air-conditioned living room. Throw open the sliding doors and let the light in, flitting between the small patio and glossy kitchen as you rustle up dinner. Although the kitchen is compact and lacks an oven, we think it's well-suited for light bites and easy meals – plus coffee fiends will be pleased to see the espresso machine. When the night finally draws to a close, snuggle up for a restful sleep in the bedroom, ready to wake up tomorrow and do it all over again.

Dipped In Saltwater

Located in Salobre Golf Resort in the south of the island, this home feels like an oasis in the lunar-like landscapes of Gran Canaria.

The home itself is cosy and relaxing, with plenty of space and comfy furnishings on which to relax after your tee-off. Along the walls are huge floor-to-ceiling windows that look out to the verdant garden and also have the added benefit of inviting plenty of natural light inside.

What's more, the outdoor space is equally as impressive as the interior. You can take in views of the hilly landscape from the terrace with your morning coffee or opt for a dip in the heated swimming pool instead.

If paddling about gives you the inspiration to head to the beach, you don't have too far to go — it's only ten minutes' drive to Playa Las Mujeres, for instance. Closer to home, there's a golf course and restaurant within the resort, while there are some impressive vantage points and hiking routes to be discovered nearby.

Samira

This chic, modern, and welcoming resort villa brings a touch of desert glamour to Gran Canaria. Its warm red walls cry to be embraced by the golden hour tones of sunset and the surrounding palm trees – even a trusted new friend in the form of an inflatable pink flamingo awaits you in the pool. This home is a perfect trip away, with sun loungers to work that golden glow and an open barbecue to dish up a feast.

These views, set on the grounds of the Salobre Golf Resort, are not only a feast for the eyes, but also for the aching muscles of any golf enthusiast looking to practise their swing. Beyond the course's greens, however, is the magnificent blue of the sea that will gratify everyone with a day at the beach when you visit Playa de las Carpinteras, which is only a thirteen-minute drive away. Are ten kilometres of sand sufficient? If not, the Maspalomas sand dunes are a must-see natural gem to bury your feet into. Take a seventeen-minute drive to El Salobre Horse Riding and have an unforgettable experience in a one-of-a-kind setting, revolving around volcanic landscapes and dunes along gorgeous routes... all while riding a horse.

El Cubo Rojo

With its white walls, floating staircases, and wooden architecture, this home feels like something from the future. Set in the heart of Salobre Golf Resort, the plot is breathtakingly modern. Pristine walls and mood-lit ceilings nod strongly toward minimalism, with pops of colour from the plush yellow velvet sofas in the open kitchen. Where decoration may seem sparse, sliding doors flood the space with sunshine, turning your eye towards the impressive view instead. Bedrooms each have a different colour scheme, from the palm leaf-patterned double to the lemon yellow and grey room, which leads onto a marble-covered bathroom. Outside is just as stylish. An infinity pool looks out towards the ocean, while white sun loungers and double day beds are the perfect spot for siestas. Come evening, the outdoor kitchen with its grill barbecue is on hand to cook up feasts. Time it right and dinner will be served on the outdoor table, just as the sun is setting beneath the ocean.

Apollo Landing

Gran Canaria’s tropical coasts are quite mesmerising, especially when you can hear the gentle rhythm of the waves in the background. This apartment, situated right on the shores of Playa de San Agustín, allows you to hear the entrancing ebb and flow of the tides all day, every day. But at less than a forty-minute drive from the capital of Las Palmas, you can easily trade this serene, beachside lifestyle for the island’s biggest metropolis (well, perhaps just for the afternoon).

As you step inside to this airy, modern studio, you’ll immediately feel a sense of zen and clarity thanks to white walls and stylish, grey concrete tiled floors. This continues into the bedroom, where a mirrored wardrobe adds to the modern decor at the same time as accentuating the sense of space. Monochrome furnishings and natural stone-coloured curtains also play a secondary role in the lounge – allowing the views from the enormous glass doors to really be the centre of attention. Swaying native palm trees, glistening blue seas, and golden sands can be viewed from the comfort of your private balcony – the only thing missing is a frozen margarita in your hand.

Phoenix Canariensis

Bicycles

Start your mornings at this Gran Canaria duplex with a café con leche on the balcony that is attached to the main bedroom, offering great views both day and night. Soak up some sunshine on the loungers on your private terrace or sit under the shade of the awning with a great holiday read. Then, why not take a dip in the complex’s swimming pool, which even has a children’s pool for your little ones?  

Spend days on the sandy beach – which can be reached in just twenty-one minutes on foot – or if you’re more adventurous, then rent a surfboard and hit the waves. Play a round of golf – a five-minute drive away, or keep your eyes on the horizon and go dolphin and whale watching – reachable within eight minutes by car.

In the evening, you could treat yourself to a massage, before unwinding in the soothing bubbles of your private hot tub, overlooking the pool below. Then, take advantage of the home’s barbecue and cook some delicious grilled tapas for dinner. 

Sol & Sand

Gran Canaria is known for its sand, both on its beaches and in the hills. This villa's pretty sandy too, at least in tone, and is your private oasis on the island. It's all about days in the garden here. Swim laps in the long, rectangular pool, before dining at the outside table under the sun. Sit back and work on your tan, while admiring the views of the mountains and forests on the horizon. Within the villa, modern stone walls are a wonderful feature against comfortable furnishings – lie back on the comfy sofa in front of the widescreen TV, and make the most of your stylish surroundings. After unwinding in the garden, embark on a trip to some of the myriad restaurants and shops in the area. You'll also find a nearby golf course where you can practice your swing, and a glorious sandy beach a short car journey away. Or wander across the sand dunes of Maspalomas, one of the island's landmarks. 

Orange Delight

This modern villa sits pretty among the hills of southern Gran Canaria, with a delightfully sunny aspect and great views of the hills. Here, you're a short walk from the Salobre Golf Resort and its enormous course, supermarket, shops, restaurant, bar and serene infinity pool. Your own pool is not to be sniffed at, however, edged by mini-decks where you can bask, lizard-like, in the sun – there's really no need to move here. For true decadence, crawl onto the four-poster day bed and drift off. There is a big outdoor grill as well, so you really don't have to think about eating out unless you want to. Post dinner, kick back and watch some DVDs on the enormous TV.

La Tangerina

With a great location within the centre of this golf resort – this villa has lovely views, especially from the balcony. There's a private pool and covered dining area for when you want to cool off from the Gran Canarian sun. Inside, the tropical wallpaper reminds us that this island is just off the coast of Africa with a warm climate all year round. Another thing we love here is that you can step out of both bedrooms onto a terrace. There are fresh bread rolls delivered every morning for free, too – a nice touch. This small resort is situated a few kilometres from Playa del Ingles, and other nearby attractions include the dunes of Maspalomas.

Surrounded by a plantation of avocados, relax on the multiple terraces (five no less), cool off from the Tenerife sun in the infinity waterfall pool with its Atlantic Ocean vistas or unwind in the hot tub. 

We love the professionally designed gardens – our favourite spot is the yoga/meditation corner –  very zen. There's a fantastic outdoor kitchen, too – cook up a feast while you enjoy the fabulous views of Mount Teide, the forests and hills. As sunset arrives, pick some mint for your mojitos from the herb garden or feel free to pick a lemon for your G&T. As the light continues to fade, gather around the designer fire pit. 

Or, on cooler evenings, cosy up in front of the wood-burning stove indoors. Here, you'll find gorgeous beamed, vaulted ceilings, as well as original pictures and sculptures.

There's plenty to do out and about too. Hire a bike and explore the terrain (many professional cycling teams train here). If you prefer something a bit less energetic, there are three golf courses within easy reach, including one designed by Seve Ballestros. The nearest beach is 3 kilometres away, along with the popular resort beaches and Lido in Puerto de la Cruz, while La Orotava has an array of cafes, shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance.



Mount Teide Vistas

Secured Parking

Right on the beachfront at La Canteras, this home has a fabulous spot. Take in the fantastic Atlantic and La Canteras Beach views from this home’s sunny and dazzling whitewashed terrace. You can even spot Mount Teide in Tenerife in the distance. We love this outdoor space, it's ideal for an alfresco breakfast (whizz up a drink in the juicer to accompany some churros). Later, do some sunbathing on the sun loungers. Inside, there are more of those fabulous vistas through the large sliding doors.

In the afternoon, perhaps head to La Canteras  Beach, under a minute stroll away. It’s one of the best urban beaches in the world, and there are plenty of cafes and restaurants to sample in the vicinity too. Or, for a bit of culture, Las Palmas Cathedral is a ten-minute ride away. It’s a couple of minutes more to Casa-Museo de Colón, which documents Columbus’ voyages. 


Somewhere on a Beach

Conveniently located within walking distance of Tauro's golf clubs and a short drive from the beach too, this villa is ideal for a family seeking a sunny escape. With a private swimming pool, alfresco dining area, barbecue and terrace, guests can enjoy their own slice of privacy between beach trips and days out. While the villa's modern aesthetic isn't packed with personality, it provides a comfortable and above all, functional set-up for a fuss-free stay here. Nearby, you'll find the local shop and restaurant within walking distance, plus the town centre of Tauro is just a short bike ride or drive away.

Cubismo & Casa

This eco-friendly studio apartment is situated just moments away from the Las Canteras beach, making it a good base for a couple or a solo traveller. Thanks to the central location, a car is not essential here, as you’ll have plenty of shopping and dining options to choose from within walking distance. Public transport options are also excellent if you want to explore further afield. The pad may be compact in size but there’s enough space here for two guests to be comfortable, and with good internet speed, you can also catch up on work during your stay – although you'll have to set-up shop around the dining table since there isn't a desk.

Sailing for Sights

There's something utterly relaxing about this seventh-floor flat, perched right next to La Puntilla. Between the seaside-inspired design, luminous living space and floor-to-ceiling windows boasting panoramas of the rolling waves, you'll have that beachy keen feeling from the moment you walk through the door. And trust us, with the Atlantic Ocean sparkling in the distance, you'll want to spend all day basking in that view.

Perfect for a couple, this pad has plenty of places to kick back and get comfortable. Plop down in the yellow chair with a good book and a refreshing drink, watching the ebb and flow of the tide. Stretch out on the sun-loungers or curl up on the plush sofa for an afternoon siesta before heading out for a night on the town – with a bevvy of bars and restaurants nearby, we think you'll need a mid-day pick-me-up. 

As far as locations go, you can't ask for better. Las Palmas' sweeping Playa las Canteras is mere steps from your flat, so take advantage and while away your days snorkelling, surfing and swimming in the water. Shops, markets and eateries are also close at hand – as are options for hiking (Isleta Nature Reserve is a six-minute drive) and sightseeing (Plaza Santa Ana is thirteen minutes by car).

Sunburst Sepia

Experience pure tranquility in the private swimming pool or take a short drive to the nearby sandy beach to soak up the sun. With its prime location in Tauro, on the outskirts of Puerto Rico, 'The Property' offers a peaceful and serene ambience that will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated.

Serenity Villa

Perched high above the shores of Las Palmas' famous Las Canteras Beach, this apartment's terrace is a seaside show-stopper. Whether you're lolling about on the sun loungers with a cocktail and a good book, sharing alfresco tapas around the outdoor table or chilling out in the stylish living area with the windows wide open, the rolling tides and clear blue skies paint a postcard-worthy backdrop. 

It's downright dreamy – you can hear the waves crashing below you and feel the salt kiss your skin. And it's no surprise that the sunsets are unmissable. Better still, the communal swimming pool provides a refreshing place to relax when you don't fancy a dip in the sea – and it's got stunning panoramas to match.

When you're ready to venture out, the golden sands are a mere one-minute stroll away – spend your days lounging in the sand and splashing in the sea. Grab dinner and drinks at one of the waterfront restaurants or pick up some local produce and rustle up something tasty back at home. For a change of scenery (though who would want to leave that view behind?), Catedral de Santa Ana de Canarias in the historic district is a sixteen-minute taxi ride away.
