Hey there! Are you dreaming of an unforgettable holiday that combines luxury and beachfront relaxation? Then let me introduce you to Meloneras in Gran Canaria. During my last trip, I fell so in love with this charming coastal town that I just have to share my experience with you. Here are my tips and experiences for the perfect vacation in Meloneras.

Meloneras is easy to reach, especially from Gran Canaria Airport. After a short flight, you can be there in no time, thanks to excellent road connections. Taking bus line 66 or 90 will get you to Meloneras in about 30-40 minutes – perfect for a stress-free start to your holiday.

After checking into your hotel, I recommend taking a stroll along the chic beachfront promenade. This crescent-shaped walkway lined with palm trees offers stunning ocean views at every turn. From the get-go, you'll feel the luxurious relaxation that Meloneras promises.

Meloneras Beach is not as expansive as the neighboring Maspalomas, but that's part of its charm. With its golden sands and calm waters, it invites you to relax. Whether you want to bask in the sun or take a gentle swim, you'll find everything you need for the perfect beach day.

One of the highlights of my trip was shopping along Boulevard El Faro. Located right by the iconic lighthouse, this promenade is home to exclusive boutiques. I found some fantastic pieces and enjoyed the elegant atmosphere of this coastal walk.



The Varadero Shopping Centre is also worth a visit. It offers a mix of international and Spanish brands and invites you to take a coffee break in its sunlit courtyards. It's the perfect place to indulge in some luxury or just to browse.

As the sun sets, Meloneras comes alive with a refined vibrancy. Numerous restaurants and bars offer al fresco dining and delicious cocktails. One of my favorites was the Restaurante Time, which is right on the beach. Watching the sunset there is a must!

Nearby Attractions:

Maspalomas Dunes :  Another highlight of my trip was visiting the Maspalomas Dunes. Just a short walk from Meloneras, you'll find this impressive desert landscape that meets the ocean. Walking through these sand hills and discovering the unique flora and fauna is an incredible experience.

Aqualand and Palmitos Park: If you're traveling with family, Aqualand and Palmitos Park are fantastic options. Aqualand offers a variety of water slides and pools, guaranteeing fun for all ages. Palmitos Park features exotic animals and plants; the dolphin show there was a particular joy.

Even after dusk, Meloneras has a lot to offer. Although it's quieter than Playa del Inglés, it boasts stylish bars and lounges where you can unwind. One of my favorites was the nighttime view of the illuminated Maspalomas lighthouse.
