Meloneras is a smart, modern resort area in the south of Gran Canaria, part of the Las Palmas province. It sits just along the coast from the famous dunes and offers a slightly more upmarket, relaxed alternative to the island's busier resorts. UK couples and families come for the year-round sunshine, the seafront promenade and the easy comforts.

With reliable warmth in every season, it is a dependable choice when you want guaranteed sun without a long-haul flight.

Where to stay in Meloneras

The Lopesan Baobab Resort is a five-star, African-themed resort in Meloneras, a striking and comfortable base for a stay in southern Gran Canaria.

Getting there and when to go

Gran Canaria is around a four-hour flight from the UK, with Meloneras a short transfer from the airport. The Canaries enjoy warm weather all year, so there is no real off-season. Summer is hottest and busiest, while autumn, winter and spring draw those escaping the UK chill.

Beaches and resorts

Meloneras has a pleasant beachfront and a long promenade, with the celebrated Maspalomas dunes within easy reach along the coast. The water is calm and the sand golden, making for relaxed swimming and sunbathing close to the resorts.

Food and things to do

The promenade is lined with restaurants serving Spanish, Canarian and international dishes, ideal for an evening stroll and dinner. Days can be spent on the beach, exploring the dunes or simply enjoying the resort's facilities.

Who it suits

Meloneras suits couples and families who want sun, a smart setting and a calmer atmosphere than the island's livelier resorts. It works well in winter as much as summer.
