A trip to Gran Canaria is like winning the family holiday jackpot. As one of the Canary Islands, it’s bursting with sun, sea, and plenty of fun that’ll keep both parents and kids happy. With its gorgeous beaches, cool towns, and otherworldly landscapes, this place is perfect for creating family memories that don’t involve Wi-Fi or school runs! 

Gran Canaria is an island of many different moods all jigsawed together, so there’s loads to do in this part of Spain. One minute, you’re soaking up the sun on a golden beach, and next you’re clambering over ancient lava rock at the island’s archaeological parks. It’s a place where you can go from ‘relaxation’ to ‘exploration’ in no time – you can pack a lot into a Gran Canaria getaway. 

Our Gran Canaria family holidays come with free child places on select bookings, so you can enjoy a trip for less than you’d think. That’s right – one child goes for free when travelling with two paying adults on eligible trips, and there are even deals in the school holidays! With all that saved cash, you’ll have more to spend on holiday ice creams – and who doesn’t love that?

Our Free Child Place offers are available to great family-friendly hotspots, like Arguineguin and Puerto Mogan. These little Gran Canarian towns are packed with lovely beaches and loads of fun stuff to keep the little ones entertained. Between exploring the colourful streets and splashing in the sea, your family will be happily exhausted by day’s end – and you can enjoy a quiet sunset!

Even if you’ve already been to Tenerife, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria is still definitely worthy of a visit. With beaches, adventure, amazing volcanic landscapes, and more, you’ll quickly see why this island deserves a spot on your family holiday list. So if you’re ready for your next adventure, Gran Canaria’s waiting.
