Playa del Ingles Holidays

Holidays in Playa del Ingles are perfect for those seeking lazy days and hectic nights. The large resort is popular with the young 18-30s holiday crowd, especially British tourists during peak season. In fact Play del Ingles translates as 'the Englishman's Beach'. Either side of peak season the resort is much more peaceful and is perfect for families. The resort is situated between Maspalomas and San Agustin.

The one-kilometre stretch of golden-sand beach offers gently shelving sands and rows-upon-rows of sun beds. A promenade runs the length of the beach and is lined with beach bars and cafes, so sun-worshippers won't have to walk far for a refreshment or snack. Holidays in Playa del Ingles include popular excursions, such as camel treks in the spectacular sand dunes of Maspalomas and day trips to the island's capital, Las Palmas, to explore its 15th-century history.

Holidays in Playa del Ingles offer a dizzying selection of shopping centres, bars, restaurants and discos. Restaurants offer a choice of traditional Spanish tapas as well as international favourites. Party-enthusiasts can take a tour of the bars at happy hour before heading to one of the pulsating discos or nightclubs. There are also quieter areas for families or couples who want to enjoy a more relaxing evening.
