Gran Canaria Hotels in February

While the walk down to the coast is a bit steep for some, the proximity to the crystal blue waters more than makes up for it.

The complex itself is built from natural stone and offers double rooms, standard suites and luxury suites all of which come with superb sea views and free access to the spa circuit.

Within this complex guests can also enjoy two swimming pools (one of which is an infinity pool that is heated during winter), sunbathing terrace with free loungers and parasols, exclusive nude sunbathing area and an outdoor gym.

Hotel NH Las Palmas Playa Las Canteras

If you're more of a city slicker, check out Hotel NH Las Palmas Playa Las Canteras.

Best Western Plus Hotel Cantur

The Best Western Plus Hotel Cantur is another hotel found in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, but this has more of a typical hotel feel.

Beaches in Gran Canaria for February

Playa de Puerto Rico

Playa de Puerto Rico is one of the finest beaches in Mogan. This man-made bay is comprised of 250m of soft golden sands imported from the Sahara Desert which are peppered with sun loungers, parasols and visitors soaking up the sunshine. Thanks to the harbour which flanks one side of the bay, this beach is completely protected by strong waves, so the sea is always calm enough for swimming in.

The two artificial breakwaters also ensure that the shore is protected from rough seas, even when conditions are incredibly unfavourable. Backing the beach is a long promenade offering everything from international restaurants and cocktail bars to small minimarkets and tourist shops selling beach essentials.

Puerto de Mogan

If you prefer quiet beaches, you'll love Puerto de Mogan. This beach is the youngest in Gran Canaria and features thick, golden sand which stretches for 200m along the coast. Just like Playa de Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogan is also well protected on one side by a harbour wall and a rocky breakwater on the other side, which means the shore never sees rough waves.

The beach is lined by a small promenade full of local fish restaurants which serve up delicacies caught that very day. You'll find basic beach facilities here, such as sun loungers, parasols, showers, toilets and some water sports, with plenty of bars, restaurants, tourist shops, holiday accommodation and a weekly market further inland.  

Bars and Restaurants

La Cucina

For a traditional Italian meal, make a table reservation at La Cucina. This restaurant offers a varied and exciting Mediterranean menu in cosy, intimate surroundings, making it the perfect place for a romantic dinner for two. In addition to the traditional pizzas and pastas, there's also a small children's menu on offer. Whatever you do, try and be there when the singing chef is working that's something you won't want to miss!

Sprit of the Sea

If you'd rather stay above sea level, a boat trip on board the Spirit of the Sea is another fantastic way to explore the waters around Gran Canaria.

This excursion company takes groups of up to 15 people out on a glass bottom boat where you can peer through the huge window in search of whales and dolphins.

Because the staff are so experienced, they know the best places to go to spot the cetaceans, so chances are good there'll be at least one sighting when you're on board.
