Going to Gran Canaria with children and babies
No Spanish destination is more suitable for children than Gran Canaria. From the mild year-round climate to the island's varied natural landscapes, theme parks, hotels and restaurants, Gran Canaria is a safe choice for families with children looking for adventure and fun.
Beach, mountains and desert, all in one!
Gran Canaria is sometimes called "the continent in miniature", and rightly so. Indeed, its varied landscapes give the impression of going 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".
Firstly, the island has a large number of protected and safe beaches for bathing. In addition, they have all the necessary services for your comfort: umbrellas, toilets, children's play areas, etc. They are clean and well-equipped beaches, with crystal-clear waters that make you want to take a dip.
For the most energetic families, a wide range of maritime leisure activities have been developed near these beaches. You can practice fishing or sport fishing, scuba diving, windsurfing or even sailing, all accompanied by an efficient infrastructure that will allow you to have fun in complete safety.
With so many beaches to choose from, you may prefer the dunes of Maspalomas or the lively atmosphere of Las Canteras beach. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a little peace and quiet, you can enjoy the calm of the immaculate Güigüi beach.
But Gran Canaria is not just beaches. There are also hiking trails that will allow you to discover the interior of the island and admire its native flora while walking with the whole family. In addition, you can practice numerous adventure sports, such as climbing or simply cycling. The choice is yours.
Family hotels
Almost all hotels in Gran Canaria have 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 paid to the little ones in every corner. They are the protagonists of the holidays.
Many hotels not only offer a childcare service, 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, knowing that they are in good hands.
In Gran Canaria you will find all types of accommodation: from rural houses to luxurious beachfront hotels, without 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 where you can have fun with your family. The whole island can be considered a huge theme park, with so many options that it is sometimes difficult to choose.
There are botanical and zoological parks that blend into their environment, such as the Jardín Canario, an authentic natural jewel where you can discover a large quantity of botanical species. The Cueva Pintada de Gáldar Museum and Archaeological Park 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 steep. Therefore, it is essential to have a stroller , pushchair or baby carrier for the comfort of the child. Baby Travel Rental is the Canarian specialist in renting baby equipment.
