Gran Canaria · Beyond golf
Six ideas to discover Gran Canaria at your own pace: culture, ocean and spectacular scenery. For golfers and their travelling companions alike.
Dunes, a lagoon and a palm grove form one of Gran Canaria’s iconic landscapes. Enjoy the viewpoints and authorised paths, then head to the lighthouse promenade.
A fragile nature reserve: stay on authorised routes and bring water and sun protection.
Head into the hills for a change of scenery: Tejeda overlooks the volcanic landscapes of the island’s interior. Take time to explore the village and try its almond specialities.
Allow time for winding roads and bring an extra layer: the weather can differ from the coast.
A long beach in the heart of Las Palmas, with a promenade lined by café terraces. Extend a city visit, walk beside the water or simply take a seat facing the Atlantic.
For swimming, follow the beach flags and local guidance.
Cobbled lanes, patios, colourful façades and old squares give Vegueta its distinctive atmosphere. Along the way, discover Santa Ana Cathedral, the market and Columbus House (Casa de Colón), dedicated to the links between the Canary Islands and the Americas.
Combine it with Las Canteras for a full day in Las Palmas.
At Las Salinas, pools sit between volcanic rock and the Atlantic. Pair this stop with the harbour and terraces of Puerto de las Nieves to experience a different side of the island.
Swim only when conditions allow: follow local signs and stay out of the water in heavy swell.
White houses, flower-filled lanes and moored boats: Puerto de Mogán invites you to slow down. Enjoy the harbour, a café terrace and the beach for a relaxed seaside break.
An outing to consider from the south of the island, around your golf schedule.
