Villa Lopesan | 4-Bedroom Villa in San Bartolome de Tirajana

Eight guests arrive at a Spanish golf course villa in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Gran Canaria, and find themselves steps from fairways that roll toward the Atlantic. Villa Lopesan sits in the heart of Maspalomas, where the landscape swings between manicured greens and wild desert, and the rental market here rarely delivers a property this size with both a heated pool and genuine seclusion. This is a 4-bedroom villa rental San Bartolomé de Tirajana designed for groups who want space, privacy, and the option to cook or dine out—without choosing between them.

Inside Villa Lopesan

Villa Lopesan sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The ground floor opens into an expansive living and dining zone where natural light floods through large windows, with seating for six at the main dining table and additional lounge space for gathering. The primary bedroom on this level contains a double bed and direct garden access—useful if you wake early and want coffee before anyone else stirs. Three further bedrooms each hold two single beds, and all four rooms feature mosquito nets (essential in summer), ceiling fans, substantial wardrobe storage, and windows framing the gardens. Each bedroom receives afternoon shade during the hottest months.

Three bathrooms are distributed across the villa, each fitted with a walk-in shower, bidet, hairdryer, and fresh towels restocked daily. The kitchen occupies one corner of the ground floor, equipped with a full-size oven, microwave, double-door refrigerator with separate freezer compartment, electric toaster, coffee machine, dishwasher, and a complete utensil set—the kind of kitchen that makes even reluctant cooks volunteer for dinner duty. The design flows directly into the living space, so whoever cooks remains part of the conversation.

Downstairs on the lower ground floor sits a games room with a full-size pool table and dartboard, the sort of space that occupies teenagers for hours and gives adults permission to be competitive. A washing machine handles laundry, and a safe box secures valuables. An outdoor shower, positioned near the pool entrance, rinses salt water and chlorine without tracking it through the villa.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The garden and pool area form the villa’s true centerpiece. The private pool measures 9 by 7 meters with a graduated depth ranging from 0.6 to 1.3 meters, so children can wade safely while adults swim proper lengths. Roman steps ease entry, a handrail provides security, and an adjacent shallow children’s pool means younger guests never feel sidelined. The pool enclosure is fully fenced, essential reassurance for families. Loungers surround the pool deck, arranged to catch the sun through different hours of the day.

A dedicated chill-out zone sits to one side, shaded by natural vegetation, where the temperature drops noticeably and conversation flows without shouting over the midday heat. The terrace commands views south across the Maspalomas golf course and northeast toward the Maspalomas dunes—that vast, rippling expanse of sand that feels more North African than Spanish. A covered dining area seats eight, with a substantial table and chairs, and a built-in barbecue that gets used most evenings. The gardens themselves are landscaped with mature palms and low-maintenance vegetation suited to the climate, providing natural windbreaks and creating distinct zones within the property. WiFi reaches into the garden, so no one need disconnect entirely.

Location: San Bartolomé de Tirajana and the Surrounding Area

San Bartolomé de Tirajana is the municipality that contains Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés, though Villa Lopesan itself sits in the quieter, residential side of this district. The municipality sprawls across 70 square kilometers of the south coast, encompassing everything from inland villages to resort zones.

Maspalomas itself, 2km south of the villa, centers on its iconic lighthouse and beach. The lighthouse stands 56 meters high on a promontory and marks the boundary between the resort and the Maspalomas dunes natural reserve—a protected biosphere reserve that you can explore on foot in under an hour. The dunes themselves stretch across 400 hectares of pristine desert landscape, utterly unspoiled and quite unlike anywhere else on Gran Canaria. The Maspalomas beach curves for 4km, backed by the dunes, with calm water in the bay suitable for families and water sports. Boat hire and paddleboard rentals operate from the beach daily.

Playa del Inglés, 3km north, is the island’s primary resort town—restaurants, shops, bars, and clubs occupy every block. You’ll find supermarkets like Carrefour and Mercadona stocked for self-catering, international restaurants ranging from budget to upscale, and retail from clothing chains to local craft galleries. If you want nightlife, Playa del Inglés delivers; if you want peace, you return to the villa.

The golf course adjacent to Villa Lopesan is Maspalomas Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course that dates back decades and hosts regional tournaments. Non-members can book rounds through the pro shop. The course rises and falls across 70 hectares, offering views of the coast from elevated greens.

For beaches beyond Maspalomas, drive 20 minutes west to Mogán village and its small fishing harbor backed by pastel-colored buildings—genuinely picturesque and less crowded than the main resorts. Arguineguín, 35km north, is the working fishing port where locals still land the daily catch; its fish market opens early, and restaurants surrounding it serve seafood caught that morning. The village of Fataga, 30km inland, sits in a palm-filled valley with restaurants and hiking trails through mountain terrain that feels worlds away from the coast.

Las Palmas Airport lies 45km north of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, roughly 50 minutes by car, and handles most international flights to the island. Tenerife South Airport is 80km away if comparing options. Explore our luxury villas in Spain and browse our full collection in San Bartolomé de Tirajana.

The best months to visit are October through April, when temperatures hover between 18 and 24°C and rain is rare. July and August see 30°C+ heat, strong sun, and peak tourist crowds—manageable if you have pool access (which you do), but noisier in the resort areas. Winter months attract retirees and golfers from Northern Europe, so accommodation fills quickly December through February.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families of eight to ten people find Villa Lopesan ideal. The four separate bedrooms mean couples don’t share quarters with parents or children, multi-generational trips run smoothly, and teenagers can claim their own space. Groups of friends—a cluster of couples or four pairs—fit naturally into the layout. Golfers traveling together appreciate the immediate access to the golf course and the villa’s capacity to house an entire foursome plus support network.

Parents with young children benefit from the shallow kids’ pool, the fenced pool area, the games room for rainy afternoons, and the proximity to Maspalomas beach with its calm, supervised swimming. The villa is set back enough from Playa del Inglés to avoid resort noise while remaining five minutes from shops and restaurants. Multi-generational groups—grandparents, adult children, grandchildren—can split childcare duties, enjoy separate evenings, and gather for meals without tension over space or amenities.

The property suits anyone who wants the facilities of a resort without its crowds, people who cook seriously enough to use a full kitchen, and guests who value privacy and outdoor living equally. It’s less suitable for couples seeking romance (too much space often means separate evenings) or single travelers (capacity and cost don’t align).
