View All DealsFlying direct from Dublin, holidays to Playa del Cura are perfect for escaping the daily grind and taking life easy. Relax on a secluded volcanic beach and explore the resort's small array of Canarian restaurants.
Playa del Cura’s main appeal is its serene stretch of dark volcanic sand, which slopes gently into swim-friendly waters. This resort isn’t so well-known on the international tourist scene, so the beach rarely gets crowded. The weekends are slightly busier as the locals come along to enjoy their time off work. If you want a change, you can head to neighbouring Playa Taurito. This golden-coloured beach is far quieter, with just one beachfront bar.
Playa del Cura is a resort made for taking life easy. This relaxed town is in the cliffs, close to the popular Gran Canarian town of Puerto Rico. If you want a livelier day, you can walk to Puerto Rico in under an hour, or drive in less than 10 minutes. Amadores’ white sandy beach can be found along the way and is the gateway to some of the best diving locations on Gran Canaria. Puerto Rico boasts three large shopping centres for your holiday purchases, and a selection of nightclubs.
Seasoned walkers will enjoy their holiday to Playa del Cura as there’s a range of coastal trails for walking and hiking. Don some suitable footwear and wander along the clifftop path until you find the panoramic views of the Atlantic. Look carefully and you’ll spot the little coves between the rocks. If you’d like a more challenging walk, take a 20-minute drive inland to Mogán and explore one of the island's gorges.
