Playa del Ingles

Gran Canaria

Playa Taurito is an elegant, purpose-built resort with an air of refinement which will suit those looking for a tranquil break. Its expansive lido area is particularly attractive - for a small entrance fee, you can enjoy sand-free sunbathing, a vast pool, and a palm-dotted 'island' complete with bridges and bars. Playa Taurito's real beach of black sand is sheltered from the wind by headlands; it's usually quite quiet, perfect for idling hours away with a good book. Alternatively, visit the man-made lake for a change of scenery. Evenings in Playa Taurito are quiet and subdued: there are a few beach cafes here where you can enjoy a relaxed drink and neighboring Puerto Mogan boasts a marina which offers a number of restaurants and bars.
