Say a Little Playa

Holiday Rental Description

Hit rest and reset with Gran Canaria's year-round sunshine and vast golden shores at this smart townhouse offering up direct access to the sheltered beaches of Playa Pasito Blanco in a quiet residential complex.

Spend lazy, hazy mornings by the sandy beach, then beat the heat with a cooling dip in the complex's palm-fringed shared pool. There are sea view cabanas if the urge for a cheeky siesta takes over. Or head home for drinks on your private terrace overlooking the shared pool.

Inside, you'll love the crisp, contemporary interiors that unite this three-storey townhouse. The place dazzles from top to toe in crisp white, while nautical stripes remind you the deep blue sea is never far away. Over in the pared-back, light-filled bedrooms, kids will love the novelty of the ground-floor bedroom with bunkbeds. While grown-ups can have that top floor suite with a private terrace all to themselves – the perfect spot for peaceful morning coffees to kickstart your day.

If little ones are still full of beans after a day at the beach, the shared playground will keep them happy. Then mosey down to the marina (a five-minute stroll) to gawp at the superyachts before dinner at one of the complex's restaurants. Or, for something a little buzzier, jump in the car for an evening in Meloneras (a five-minute drive). The beach bars and grill restaurants lining the Paseo de las Meloneras waterfront are just the spot for soaking up the sunsets.
