Bahia Feliz - Old-fashioned ambience ideal for family holidays
The resort of Bahia Feliz retains the charm and ambience of old Gran Canaria, while also offering comfort and style for visitors staying for a family break. The name translates as ‘happy bay’, which is a good description of this compact, friendly resort. Bahia Feliz is 20 km from Gran Canaria’s airport, 6 km from the historic fishing village of San Agustin, and 10 km from the island’s biggest international resort, Playa del Ingles, one of the most popular summer vacation spots in the whole of Europe.
While in Bahia Feliz you can dine in the shade of palm trees at restaurants and cafes clustered around the pretty town square, or laze on the small, breezy beach. There is also a wind-surfing school on the beach for those feeling more energetic.
Bahia Feliz - Quieter beach but close to lively Playa del Ingles
Bahia Feliz is just 10 km north of the mega-resort of Playa del Ingles, so as a location for a family holiday offers the best of both worlds. You can relax in the flower-scented gardens of your Bahia Feliz hotel, enjoy the small but adequate local beach, or head along the coast to Playa del Ingles, if you want more excitement and wider choice for eating, shopping and dancing. Playa del Ingles has a vast array of shops, bars and restaurants and a very busy nightlife. Although mainly geared for younger holiday-makers, families, couples and older visitors are also attracted by the fantastic climate and immense stretch of beach.
Bahia Feliz - Explore the famous dunes of Maspalomas
From Bahia Feliz, you can take a jeep safari into Gran Canaria’s breath-taking interior to explore the rocky, arid terrain of the south, or the more lush, fertile north. Another must-see is the natural dunes park of Maspalomas at the island‘s southern-most point, and just 10 km from Bahia Feliz. These dunes, behind a stunning 6 km long beach, have been formed by sands blown from the Sahara Desert, 100 miles east, and is popular with walkers and nudists.
