Holidays in Gran Canaria have been much maligned in recent years because of the stereotype of the Canaries sun, sea, sand and all day breakfast trip. The reality is that if that's what you want you can have it but by the same token there is a great opportunity to have a relaxed and civilised beach holiday if you know where to go. How to get there When to go What to do If you want to book your flight and hotel search separately try us for great deals on Gran Canaria flights and hotels in Gran Canaria
Traditionally many visitors booked a package holiday to Gran Canaria where the tour operator covers the flights, hotel and transfers all in one deal. However in recent years the travel industry has become more flexible and it is common for people to book flights to Gran Canaria and a hotel separately giving far more options in terms of when they go and how long they stay for. Package holidays in Gran Canaria are still widely available from many UK departures points, such as Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and Belfast, and in many cases offer good value. Operators such as Thomson, Thomas Cook, First Choice and My Travel all have a great range of these kind of holidays. Gran Canaria is also served by a number of scheduled and low cost airlines such as British Airways and Easyjet offering fares for as little as £60 at certain times of the year. Along with the huge range of hotels available that can now be booked independently there have never been so many options for sorting out a cheap holiday in Gran Canaria.
Gran Canaria is in the Canary Islands which lie off the coast of west Africa which gives it a superb year round climate. Winters are warm (early 20s centigrade) and summers are hot but not uncomfortably so (late 20s centigrade). That being the case, holidays in Gran Canaria are possible at any time of the year, in fact the island is one of the biggest winter sun destinations from the UK. The best time of year for a cheap holiday to Gran Canaria is in December, January and February with the most expensive time of year being July and August due to school holidays. Probably the best months to go are April, May, September and October when the weather is still hot and prices are reasonable.
There's no doubt that sand is a key feature of most Gran Canaria holidays. Gran Canaria is covered in the stuff and not just on the beaches. The famous Maspalomas sand dunes are certainly worth a visit, possibly on camel back. Las Palmas is a vibrant city characterised in the historic centre by Spanish colonial architecture but also bounded by some fantastic beaches. In the south Playa del Ingles is the liveliest beach resort, usually chokka full of Brits enjoying a package holiday in Gran Canaria.
