Going to Gran Canaria with children and babies
No Spanish destination is more suitable for children than Gran Canaria. From the mild climate all year round to the varied natural landscapes, theme parks, hotels, and restaurants on the island, Gran Canaria is a safe choice for families with children seeking adventure and fun.
Beach, mountain, and desert, all in one!
Gran Canaria is sometimes called "the miniature continent," and rightly so. Indeed, its varied landscapes give the impression of traveling around the world without even leaving the island. This great natural wealth has led UNESCO to designate 43% of its territory as a "Biosphere Reserve."
First of all, the island has a large number of protected and safe beaches for swimming. Additionally, they have all the necessary services for your comfort: umbrellas, restrooms, children's play areas, etc. These are clean and well-equipped beaches with crystal-clear waters that invite you to take a dip.
For more energetic families, a wide range of maritime leisure activities has been developed near these beaches. You can practice fishing or sport fishing, scuba diving, windsurfing, or even sailing, all supported by an efficient infrastructure that allows you to have fun safely.
With so many beaches to choose from, you might prefer the Maspalomas dunes or the lively atmosphere of Las Canteras beach. If, on the other hand, you seek some peace and quiet, you can enjoy the calm of the pristine Güigüi beach.
But Gran Canaria is not just beaches. There are also hiking trails that will allow you to discover the island's interior and admire its native flora while walking with the whole family. Additionally, you can practice numerous adventure sports, such as climbing or simply cycling. The choice is yours.
Family Hotels
Almost all hotels in Gran Canaria offer a wide range of services and options to entertain the little ones. Many families with children come to the island, attracted precisely by the attention given to the youngest in every corner. They are the stars of the holidays.
Many hotels not only offer babysitting services but also organize various activities for children, depending on their age. This way, they can have fun while their parents enjoy a moment of freedom and solitude, with the assurance that they are in good hands.
In Gran Canaria, you will find all kinds of accommodations: from rural houses to luxurious beachfront hotels, not forgetting the numerous apartments and bungalows for those who want to be more independent.
A huge theme park
Whether indoors or outdoors, you will always find a new place to discover and have fun with your family. The whole island can be considered a huge theme park, with so many options that it is sometimes hard to choose.
There are botanical and zoological parks that blend into their environment, such as the Jardín Canario, a true natural gem where you can discover a large number of botanical species. The museum and archaeological park of the Painted Cave of Gáldar will teach you everything you need to know about the "Guanches," the first inhabitants of the Canary Islands.
Like all the Canary Islands, Gran Canaria is very rugged. Therefore, it is essential to have a stroller, a baby pram, or a baby carrier for the child's comfort. Baby Travel Rental is the Canary specialist in baby equipment rental.
