Resort Playa de Balito - hotel in Gran Canaria

Clinging to a dramatic hillside on Gran Canaria's sunny southern coast, this appealing resort offers a quieter feel than nearby Maspalomas and Puerto Rico. An easy-going atmosphere prevails that'll have you instantly relaxed. Balito's unrushed lifestyle is ideal for flopping on a sunbed and polishing your tan and the waters are excellent for swimming, snorkelling and paddling. After dark, the mood stays generally sedate, with just a few bars ready to up the pace if you want it.

When you're not soaking up the views of the rocky bay and enjoying the beaches or calm blue waters, the delights of Maspalomas and lively Puerto Rico offer a palm-dotted seafront boasting excellent fish restaurants, whilst around the Puerto Rico harbour, traditional fisherman's bars are perfect for enjoying typical tapas and mingling with the locals.

A scenic stroll along the promenade brings you to the beautiful sandy coves along the coastline but for more action, take off for the beaches, boat trips, tax-free shopping and nightlife of Playa del Ingles or head for Maspalomas' stunning sand dunes and golf course. Family fun is ever-present too with exciting waterparks and the Wild-West theme park of Sioux City all easily accessible from here.
