Local & Nature 
Planning a trip to the island of a thousand landscapes is exciting, but with so much diversity, it is sometimes hard to know where to start. If you are looking for the best places to visit in Gran Canaria and wondering about the top things to do in Gran Canaria, get ready for a fascinating journey that combines wild nature, charming villages, and an endless sea.
In this guide, we suggest the must-see locations that should be part of your itinerary, ensuring a perfect balance between exploration and absolute rest.
From the peaks to the coast, the island offers cinematic scenery. These are the treasures you cannot miss during your stay:
It is the icon of the south par excellence. Walking through this sea of golden sand feeling the Atlantic breeze is a unique experience. Right next to it, the Maspalomas Lighthouse has been watching over the coast since 1890, marking the start of pleasant sunset strolls by the ocean.
If you love nature, climbing Roque Nublo is mandatory. This 80-meter-high volcanic monolith stands in the center of the island, offering breathtaking panoramic views. A place full of energy and mysticism.
Listed as one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, Tejeda will conquer you with its white houses, almond trees, and views of the immense volcanic caldera. A perfect corner to savor the tranquility of traditional Canarian life.
A picturesque fishing village where seawater canals intertwine with streets full of colorful bougainvillea. Its seafaring and relaxed atmosphere make it an idyllic place to stroll, have a coffee, and enjoy the good weather.
Having a clear list of things to do in Gran Canaria is the first step, but choosing the right place to recharge is what transforms a good trip into an unforgettable vacation.
At Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity, we offer you a sanctuary of peace away from the hustle and bustle, yet strategically located in the south of the island so you can easily move to any point.
Rest elevated to its maximum expression: After a day exploring the peaks or beaches, there is nothing like returning to a space designed for silence. Explore our rooms and suites and find your private oasis with mountain views.
Wellness for body and mind: Walking and exploring require energy. We invite you to revitalize yourself in our Be Aloe center, where therapeutic treatments and the water circuit will leave you feeling brand new.
Flavors that complete the journey: Crown your day by tasting the best local and international gastronomy at our restaurants, enjoying a serene dinner under the starry sky.
The island of a thousand landscapes is ready to surprise you. Do not let more time pass and make that trip you deserve so much a reality.
