Meloneras, on the south coast of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, is one of the island's smartest resort areas. It blends sandy beaches and a stylish seafront promenade with comfortable, upmarket hotels, all enjoying the reliable year-round sun the islands are known for.

It suits couples and families who want quality and comfort, with a calmer, more refined feel than the island's busiest resorts but easy access to plenty when they want it.

Where to stay in Meloneras

The five-star Lopesan Baobab Resort is an African-themed resort in Meloneras, Gran Canaria, providing a luxurious, well-equipped base for a relaxed family or couples holiday.

Getting there and when to go

UK visitors fly into Gran Canaria and transfer to the south of the island. The climate stays warm and sunny throughout the year, so Meloneras is just as appealing for a winter escape as for a summer holiday.

Beaches and resorts

The area offers sandy beaches and a long promenade, with the renowned dunes and broad beaches of the south coast nearby. The atmosphere is more spacious and polished than some neighbouring resorts, with calm, family-friendly water.

Food and things to do

The seafront is dotted with restaurants and smart shopping, and there are watersports, boat trips and excursions available. The relaxed setting also makes it easy to slow down and enjoy the beach, pool and good food at leisure.

Who it suits

Meloneras is ideal for couples and families wanting a comfortable, upmarket resort with sandy beaches and a calmer feel, while staying close to the wider attractions of Gran Canaria's south coast.
