Hugging a small spot on the southwest coast of Gran Canaria, Puerto Rico has everything you’d expect from a classic beach break destination, with enough extra activities to satisfy all types of travellers.
Beaches are the standout attraction of any Puerto Rico holiday – and you’ll have two sandy stretches to lay your towel on here. The main Puerto Rico Beach is protected by a marina on either side, and is ideal for families. Amadores Beach, on the other hand, is an 800m arc of sand and a hotspot for watersport enthusiasts.
Kids will relish jumping aboard a banana boat and trying to cling on, and parents will find plenty of other options to entertain younger ones. When swimming and building sandcastles gets old, head out to spot dolphins or try one of three amusement parks within easy reach.
When you’re seeking some shade, head indoors to Puerto Rico’s shopping centres. Passarella Shopping Centre, which backs onto the marina near Puerto Rico Beach, has a collection of classy boutiques and bars. A fifteen-minute walk away, the two-storey Shopping Centre Puerto Rico has more than a hundred stores, covering everything from electronics and jewellery to designer fashion and souvenirs.
The centre is also Puerto Rico’s nightlife hub. You’ll be able to dine at restaurants serving food from all over the world, but save room for some local specialties including lapas (limpets with garlic, white wine, olive oil and parsley). If you want to keep the night going, you can party at the centre. Take your pick from dozens of lively venues, including everything from Irish pubs to nightclubs with renowned DJs.
On an island with so much to offer, picking the right place to stay on your Gran Canaria holiday can be tricky. Narrow down your options and find your perfect resort with our handy guide.
