san agustin holidays - gran canaria
a welcome hideaway among the island’s hotspots
Escape Gran Canaria’s crowds and bustle, and discover its original – and most hospitable – resort, San Agustin, on a holiday from The Co-operative Travel.
While other resorts scrambled to develop themselves into modern tourist meccas, San Agustin sat back and jealously guarded its unspoilt character – with the result that it’s now a welcome hideaway among the island’s hotspots, yet with a great choice of family attractions on offer in each direction along the main coast road.
A few big hotels are dotted around San Agustin, offering great package holidays and all-inclusive holidays, but the original whitewashed buildings which characterise the island are still very much in evidence.

watersports and beach-holidays in san agustin
San Agustin sits on the same piece of coastline as Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas, Gran Canaria’s busiest stretch. But you wouldn’t necessarily know it, as the beach resonates to the sound of the gently lapping waves against the shore, punctuated by the noises of children happily playing. For that reason, it’s a locals’ favourite.
The beach offers a good range of sporting activities for you to try, such as scuba-diving, snorkelling, sailing and surfing, and conditions are excellent for both kite surfing and windsurfing. The inner reaches of the resort offer facilities for tennis, squash, volleyball and mini-golf.
The big family fun parks such as Aqua Land and Sioux City Wild West World are further along the coast road within easy reach, while one of the big beauties of a San Agustin holiday is that you can step aboard the rollercoaster ride that is Playa del Ingles’ nightlife, and step off again just when you’re ready to retreat back into your haven along the road.
Playa del Ingles is also where you should head to snap up your tax-free souvenirs, but after you’ve finished surely the best place to unwind is in one of San Agustin’s laid-back bars or restaurants, with a delicious meal of local produce washed down by a bottle of fine wine.
A cheap holiday or last-minute holiday in San Agustin is a great way to unwind, and will let you see the more civilised side of Gran Canaria. Come to The Co-operative Travel today and see the deals and offers we have available for the dates you require.
