Villas with private pools at the sunny southern tip of Gran Canaria, between the dunes, the golf courses and the hills
As featured in
Sand dunes, a lighthouse and sunshine in January
Maspalomas sits at the southern tip of Gran Canaria, the sunniest corner of the island, and it has one feature no other resort in Europe can quite match: around 400 hectares of shifting sand dunes, protected as a nature reserve, running down to the Atlantic. At their western edge stands the Faro de Maspalomas, a stone lighthouse 56 metres tall that has guided ships since 1890.
Our Maspalomas collection runs to 80+ villas, from modern two-bedroom villas with mountain views at Salobre Golf Resort to contemporary golf villas near Meloneras beach and larger family houses, many with private pools and the biggest with 6 bedrooms.
What follows covers where to stay, what lies beyond the beach and when the island is at its best.

Meloneras for the seafront promenade and restaurants, Salobre Golf Resort for quiet hillside villas and fairways, and the streets around the dunes for walking to the beach, with the rest of Gran Canaria an easy drive away.
A small desert beside the Atlantic
The Dunas de Maspalomas are best walked early in the morning, before the sand warms, when the wind has smoothed the ridges overnight and the only footprints belong to lizards. Marked paths cross the reserve to the long beach that runs east towards Playa del Inglés.
At the western end, La Charca, a brackish lagoon fringed with Canary palms, is a resting place for migrating birds between Europe and Africa. The lighthouse stands just beyond it, and the promenade beneath is where much of Maspalomas gathers to watch the sun go down.

A seafront promenade and fairways in the hills
Meloneras, just west of the lighthouse, is the smarter end of the coast, with a long promenade lined with restaurants and terrace bars, and small beaches below. Villas here put dinner within walking distance.
Inland, Salobre Golf Resort climbs into the dry, sculpted hills behind the coast, with its own golf and views towards the mountains. It is quieter and more private, and still only a short drive from the sea. Maspalomas Golf, beside the dunes, adds a further course close to town.
Explore Gran Canaria
Mountain villages, a fishing harbour and an old city
Gran Canaria rewards anyone who hires a car. Puerto de Mogán, around half an hour west, is a pretty harbour of whitewashed houses and canals, with a busy market on Fridays. An hour or so inland, the road winds up to Tejeda and the basalt monolith of Roque Nublo, with the island's summit pines and, on clear days, Tenerife's Mount Teide floating on the horizon.
Las Palmas, on the north-east coast, is a real city, with the old quarter of Vegueta, the Casa de Colón museum and Las Canteras, one of the best city beaches in Spain.
Discover Las Palmas
Wrinkled potatoes, mojo and winter sunshine
The Canarian table is simple and very good: papas arrugadas, small potatoes boiled in salted water until their skins wrinkle, served with red and green mojo sauces; grilled fresh fish; goat's cheese; and a glass of local rum to finish. Mountain villages are the place for a long Sunday lunch.
Maspalomas is warm all year, which makes it one of the most reliable winter sun destinations within reach of the UK. Summer is hotter and busier, while the carnival brightens late winter. Our concierge can arrange car hire, golf, boat trips, a private chef and transfers from the airport.

The right house, not the nearest one
Maspalomas villas range from hillside houses at Salobre to golf villas near Meloneras beach, and we know which are a stroll from the promenade and which are a drive from everything, which can matter a great deal on a week's holiday. With 80+ properties in Maspalomas, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.

A concierge who knows the territory
Car hire and airport transfers, tee times at Salobre and Maspalomas Golf, a private chef, boat trips from Puerto de Mogán and restaurant reservations in Meloneras. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best place to stay in Maspalomas?
