Known for its sunshine all year round, Gran Canaria is a popular choice with those seeking summer and winter getaways. The coastline is rimmed with magnificent golden sands thanks to the drifting sands of the nearby Sahara desert. The jaw-dropping sand dunes of Maspalomos create a Lawrence of Arabia style setting with impressive landscapes. For a quiet and relaxing break in the sun, the former fishing village of San Agustin would be perfect for you.  If you wish to pick up the pace, the nearby bustling resort of Playa Del Ingles is the largest and the busiest in Gran Canaria with a range of restaurants, bars and nightclubs for you to take your pick. Or for a mixture of both, Puerto Rico’s pretty horseshoe shaped golden bay offers fun in the sun in a beautiful setting. With sun, sands and nightlife to suit all, this year round holiday destination ticks every box.

"I visited Gran Canaria last winter and had a lovely time. The weather was fantastic, scorching sun which was a big change from snowy Britain! The beaches were great and the locals were very friendly. All in all it was a fab winter break. I enjoyed it so much I am going back this year!" Katrina Boyle, Marketing Assistant
