A great destination to discover
Gran Canaria is one of Spain's most emblematic tourist destinations, with excellent weather, breathtaking natural beauty and a range of leisure options that few places can match, not to mention its historical, cultural and artistic heritage.
The island of Gran Canaria has more than 230 kilometres of coastline filled with coves and beaches, protected natural spaces and cliffs. The interior of the island is rural and mountainous, crowned at its centre by the Pico de las Nieves mountain with a height of 1,956 metres.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the capital of both the island and the province of Las Palmas, is located some 20 minutes from Gran Canaria International Airport. The city can also be accessed by sea at the La Luz Port, from where a whole host of international cruises depart, as well as connections to the rest of the islands in the archipelago and the Spanish mainland.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is an ideal location for business or pleasure. What sets the capital of Gran Canaria apart is its white sandy beaches, beautiful landscapes and wide variety of leisure options. The city has five beaches, of which the largest is Playa de Las Canteras. Located in the north of the city, it is the largest urban beach in the Canary Islands archipelago and one of the most outstanding in Europe, evidenced by its UNE-EN ISO 14001 certificate first issued by AENOR in June 2004.
This golden sandy beach has a unique 100,000-year-old reef system that stretches for 3 kilometres. This reef means the water is always clear and calm as it acts as a natural breakwater and also creates a unique natural ecosystem. Only one of the various hotels on Playa de Las Canteras beach has 5 stars: the Hotel Cristina by Tigotan Las Palmas. The 308 charming rooms in this exclusive hotel boast views of the sea, the port and the city and guests have access to the hotel's extensive communal spaces and halls, a swimming pool with views of the sea overlooking Playa de Las Canteras beach, and bars and restaurants. Thanks to this strategic location, guests can not only enjoy relaxing days and sunny weather, but also a whole host of leisure activities and gastronomic delights around the hotel, not to mention the capital's nightlife.
The world's best climate
When you want it all, you can have it all: seafront, swimming pool with sea view, the very epitome of a great place for both leisure and work, and all close to the centre of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Do you want it all?
