Below we give you the most important information about this place. If you are planning a vacation in Gran Canaria, it is worth considering this place as your base.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Playa del Ingles &#8211; where is it located  <\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Playa del Ingl\u00e9s <\/strong>is located in the <strong>municipality of San Bartolom\u00e9 de Tirajana<\/strong>, on the southern coast of Gran Canaria. It is directly adjacent to the famous <strong>Maspalomas<\/strong> Dunes (Dunas de Maspalomas). Getting there from the airport takes about <strong>25-30 minutes<\/strong> by car or by bus (lines 66 or 90) &#8211; in which case the trip can take up to 1.5h (remember that buses in the Canary Islands run quite irregularly and there are often delays). From the island&#8217;s capital, Las Palmas, you can get here in about 35-40 minutes by car.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Playa del Ingles &#8211; <strong>what can you find here? <\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n<p>The village offers almost everything you need during your vacation.  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Infrastructure:<\/strong> Numerous hotels (often the cheapest on the island), apartments, Irish bars, pubs and fast food restaurants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Malls:<\/strong> The most popular are <strong>Kasbah<\/strong> (nightlife center) and <strong>Yumbo Centrum<\/strong>, which is the world epicenter of LGBTI+ tourism with numerous gay-friendly bars, cabarets and drag queen shows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Attractions and Entertainment:<\/strong> Theme parks in close proximity include <strong>Holiday World Maspalomas<\/strong> amusement park (with bowling and karaoke), <strong>Aqualand Maspalomas<\/strong> water park, <strong>Sioux City<\/strong> Wild West town and <strong>Palmitos Park<\/strong> zoo.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is it a good home base?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Yes, in our opinion <strong>Playa del Ingl\u00e9s<\/strong> is an excellent place as a base for exploring Gran Canaria. Thanks to its southern location and proximity to the GC-1 highway, you can reach almost any point on the island in less than an hour from here. It is an ideal location for those who want to combine beachcombing with access to a wide range of dining and entertainment options.

Playa del Ingles is considered one of the prettiest beaches in Gran Canaria. The beach is about <strong>3 kilometers long<\/strong> and 100 meters wide, characterized by <strong>golden sand and calm waters<\/strong>. It stretches from El Cochino beach all the way to the headland of Punta de Maspalomas. It is considered very family-friendly &#8211; the water at the shore drops gradually, which is safe for the little ones. Along the beach runs <strong>a promenade<\/strong> with numerous stores and restaurants. Walking along the beach you can reach the Maspalomas Dunes, which are one of the most characteristic places in the region. We especially recommend walking at sunset, when the views over the dunes are amazing.       <\/p>\n\n<p>It is worth remembering that due to its popularity, Playa del Ingl\u00e9s can sometimes be a <strong>crowded and noisy<\/strong> place, which may not suit those seeking absolute peace <strong>and<\/strong> quiet.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gran Canaria tours<\/h2>\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re staying overnight in playa del Ingles, you can take advantage of our attractions and roundtrips to get to know the island even better.
