Playa Amadores - Family holidays in south west Gran Canaria
Playa Amadores boasts a beautiful horse-shoe shaped beach, ideally located between the large resort of Puerto Rico and the attractive harbour holiday village of Puerto Mogan.
This holiday resort is popular with families because the beach is clean, sheltered and not too busy. The bay comprises an 800 m arc of imported sand, and lapping clear blue waters. There’s a good choice of restaurants, cafes and shops situated behind the beach, and the opportunity to go on a diving trip if you fancy exploring underwater wrecks while on holiday. The resort of Playa Amadores is 30 km from Gran Canaria’s Gando Airport.
Playa Amadores, Gran Canaria holidays - stroll to lively Puerto Rico or watch a sunset
Playa Amadores is a close neighbour of Gran Canaria’s leading holiday resort, Puerto Rico. It can be reached from Playa Amadores by taking a 20 minute stroll along a cliff-top path.
Heading north along Gran Canaria’s beautiful Atlantic coastline, pretty Puerto Mogan is only 4 km away. Here you can explore the historic fishing port, sit down to a delicious meal of locally caught seafood, or shop in the bustling streets that lead up from the harbour.
From Playa Amadores you can watch a spectacular sunset, and its sometimes possible to see the snowy peak of Mount Teide, on neighbouring Tenerife, shimmering in the distance. This romantic setting certainly lives up to its name - ‘the lovers’ beach’.
Canary Island holidays in Playa Amadores - great for visiting the Dunes of Maspalomas
If you’ve decided to spend your holidays in Playa Amadores, you won’t want to miss Gran Canaria’s natural wonder, the Dunes of Maspalomas, just 10 km to the south. This 400 hectare expanse of wind-sculpted sand is quietly eerie, and offers a great place to wander or take a Saharan-style camel ride.
