Maspalomas Holidays

Maspalomas caters to holidaymakers looking for a touch of style and sophistication. Instead of lively beaches and neon night-clubs, you’ll find five-star restaurants and designer boutiques. 

The beach is also something else. Stretching for six kilometres and measuring up to 100 metres wide at some points, it’s backed by golden sand dunes where you’ll even spot the odd camel. You’ll also find the usual beach-friendly amenities of sun loungers, waterparks and waterfront cafés. At the end of the beach, you’ll find El Faro de Maspalomas, a 68-metre lighthouse with a period-style keeper’s inn. You’ll also find an 18-hole golf-course behind the dunes if you fancy a few rounds. 

Maspalomas is also a family-friendly destination. The waterpark Aqualand and the wild-west themed Sioux City are both less than 10 minutes away. And in the town itself, you’ll find Holiday World, with fairground rides and soft plays for the kids, and low-key bars for the parents.

If this sounds like your kind of holiday, speak to one of our in-store experts today about booking your next trip.
