Playa del Cura holidays land you on a no-frills beach in Gran Canaria’s sunny south, with easy access to the bright lights of Puerto Rico.

Shy seaside

Playa del Cura keeps things plain and simple. Like its name suggests, you’ve got a beach at the centre of it all. But Playa del Cura leaves it at that, which is exactly its charm. Those looking for hustle and bustle won’t find it here. You can get that in nearby Puerto Rico, though, which is just five minutes’ drive down the coast.

Beaches, near and far

You’re far from the madding crowd on this beach. A collection of sunbeds are sprinkled sparsely over the dark sands. And, thanks to Playa del Cura’s southerly spot, sandy stretches are in good supply. A 15-minute walk will get you to up-and-coming Tauro, where the sands have been shipped in from Morocco. A little further on, you’ve got Blue Flag-waving Amadores Beach – one of the finest in the Canaries.

Shops, clubs and golf

R&R takes priority in these parts, but you’re only a short drive from some of Gran Canaria’s bubbliest beach towns. Puerto Rico’s full to bursting with shops, pubs and amusement arcades. Or, you can up the sophistication in the fancy fishing village of Puerto Mogan – a 10-minute drive away. Closer to home, the 18-hole Anfi Tauro Golf course covers the mountains behind Playa del Cura with some greenery.
