Holiday rentals in Gran Canaria: choose the area first, the house second

Gran Canaria changes completely in under an hour of driving: dunes and sun in the south, peaks of almost 2,000 metres in the centre, and a capital city with an urban beach in the north-east. Which is why the area counts for as much as the house.

We manage villas with a private pool, bungalows and apartments across the south of the island, the municipality of Mogán, the capital and Telde, on the east coast. These are houses we manage ourselves, with our own team, and the photographs match the home you will find when you arrive.

Where to stay

Which part of Gran Canaria should you choose?

The house matters; the area shapes the whole trip. The south is dry and sunny for most of the year, while the north and the midlands take the moisture off the trade winds and often wake up under cloud.

  • El Salobre Golf

    Detached villas with a private pool, terrace and barbecue inside the Salobre Golf resort, in San Bartolomé de Tirajana. It is the quietest part of the south: a golf course on the doorstep and the beaches of Maspalomas and Meloneras a few kilometres away. You need a car.

  • Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

    Holiday apartments in the capital, for a city break, a work trip or a few weeks of remote working: Vegueta and Triana, the isthmus, and the three kilometres of urban beach at Las Canteras. It works all twelve months and is the only area in the catalogue where you can do without a car.

  • Telde

    Apartments in La Pardilla, a residential neighbourhood of Telde on the east coast, with shops at street level and easy parking. The beaches of Melenara and La Garita are a few minutes away by car, and the airport and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria a quarter of an hour along the GC-1. Handy for short breaks and for anyone who prefers everyday Canarian life to a resort.

  • Arguineguín

    Villas with a private pool above the old fishing village of Mogán, with sea views and a few minutes from the coves of Patalavaca and La Verga. Harbour, fresh fish and the Tuesday market, with Puerto Rico and Maspalomas a quarter of an hour away along the motorway.

  • San Agustín

    Apartments right on the avenue in the first resort built in the south, with darker-sand beaches quieter than those of its neighbours and a promenade that reaches Playa del Inglés and the dunes on foot. A comfortable choice for couples and families who want quiet with everything close by.

  • Playa del Inglés

    Bungalows and apartments in the heart of the southern resort area, a step from the Maspalomas dunes and from the island’s largest concentration of nightlife and restaurants. The easiest area to cover on foot: you walk out to dinner and come back to a house with a pool.

  • Puerto Rico

    In the municipality of Mogán, a valley opening onto the Atlantic with sheltered coves, a marina and one of the best areas on the island for sailing. Its beach, protected by breakwaters, has particularly calm water for anyone travelling with children.

  • Maspalomas

    Homes beside the dunes, the lighthouse and the golf courses of the south. The dune nature reserve separates Maspalomas from Playa del Inglés and acts as a buffer: everything the south offers stays close while the surroundings keep their space and quiet. A good fit for families.

Other parts of Gran Canaria

We do not let across the whole island, and we would rather say so. These three areas are worth knowing about before you decide.

  • Puerto de Mogán and the south-west

    Twenty-five kilometres west of Maspalomas, a cluster of whitewashed houses, canals and a marina — hence its nickname, little Venice — with a more residential kind of tourism and the same southern climate.

  • The peaks and the interior

    Tejeda, Artenara and San Mateo sit between 800 and 1,200 metres, with Roque Nublo and Pico de las Nieves above them: hiking, viewpoints and silence instead of beach. On mountain roads kilometres do not translate into time, and 35 km from the south can take over an hour.

  • The north and Agaete

    The green face of the island: cloudier and cooler than the south, and more local in character. Agaete and its valley, the natural pools of Las Salinas, Gáldar and Moya are more a day out than a base if what you are after is constant sun.

More about staying in Gran Canaria

Types of accommodation in Gran Canaria

Villas with a private pool

A pool that is not shared with the rest of the complex, a terrace, a barbecue and a full kitchen. Ours are concentrated around the El Salobre golf course and in the hills above Arguineguín, and go up to four bedrooms and eight guests.

Bungalows

Single-storey homes with their own garden or terrace, inside complexes with a pool. Ours are in Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas, within walking distance of the dunes.

Apartments by the beach

Less floor space and a better location. In San Agustín you step out of the door onto the seafront promenade, which links on foot to Playa del Inglés and the Maspalomas dunes. The best fit for couples and shorter stays.

City apartments in Las Palmas

In the capital, for city breaks, work trips or weeks of remote working: city, restaurants and Las Canteras beach in the same day.

Why a holiday rental rather than a hotel?

The difference is not in the square metres: it is in the pace. Breakfast whenever you like on your own terrace, coming back from the beach straight into the living room, cooking what you bought at the market that morning.

Families

Enough space, your own kitchen and, in many cases, a private pool. No dining room sittings and no cramped adjoining rooms.

Couples

Privacy. A villa with a garden or a well placed apartment offers something a hotel can rarely guarantee: a space used by nobody else.

Groups

Shared spaces when you want company and independence when you do not. Our largest villas reach four bedrooms and eight guests.

The season counts too

Between November and March the island is in high season and availability tightens. If your dates are flexible, spring is the first window worth asking about.

Why book with Infinity Summer?

Booking somewhere to stay in Gran Canaria takes a few minutes; getting the choice right takes rather more. The exact location, the state of the property or who answers when something goes wrong appear in no search filter.

Managed by us, on the island

We know every home in the catalogue because we manage it ourselves: cleaning and maintenance are our own, not subcontracted, and the team that confirms your booking is the team that arranges your arrival.

Book direct, with no layers in between

Every property is booked on our own engine, by phone or over WhatsApp. You deal from start to finish with the people who manage the house.

Real knowledge of the island

Which areas work without a car and which do not, which house suits a family of four and which suits a couple. It is the difference between having more options and having the right ones.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions about staying in Gran Canaria

When to come, where to stay and how to get around: what is worth settling before choosing a house.

Which part of Gran Canaria is best for a first visit?

The south. Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés and San Agustín hold the best known beaches, the widest choice of restaurants and activities and the island’s most settled weather, and much of it can be covered on foot.

If you also want a private pool and quiet, El Salobre and Arguineguín are a few kilometres from those same beaches, by car.

Do you need a hire car in Gran Canaria?

It depends on the area. In Las Palmas and Playa del Inglés you can do without one easily; in El Salobre and the Arguineguín villas it is necessary day to day. If you plan to drive up to the peaks or explore the north, it stops being optional either way.

When is the best time of year to travel to Gran Canaria?

The island works all twelve months. Between November and March the bulk of European winter travel arrives and demand is at its highest; spring tends to combine good weather with lower occupancy.

In summer the south is warm and dry and the north becomes especially pleasant, with a milder sea for swimming.

Villa with a private pool, or apartment?

A villa pays off when you are travelling as a group or with children and will spend time at the house: the pool is not shared, there is a kitchen and a terrace and everyone has their own space.

An apartment makes sense for shorter stays or for couples, where location counts for more than floor space. In the listing above you can filter by area and by number of guests to see what each type has free.

Can you go to the beach in winter in Gran Canaria?

Yes, and it is why a good share of guests in the south travel precisely between November and March: temperatures stay mild all year on the south coast.

The water is cooler than in summer, though many of our villas can have the pool heated on request.

How many days do you need to see the island?

A week is enough to combine beach in the south with one or two trips inland and to the capital. With fewer than four days it is better to choose between coast and mountain.

Distances can be deceptive: on mountain roads 35 kilometres can take over an hour, so it is worth planning in time rather than in kilometres.

Which part of the island has the best weather?

The south is consistently the driest and sunniest area, which is why the tourist infrastructure is concentrated there; the north and the midlands take the moisture off the trade winds and wake up cloudy on many more days of the year. It is common for it to rain in Las Palmas while the sky is clear in Maspalomas, with less than an hour of driving between them.
