Gran Canaria enjoys sunny weather year-round, so you won’t need to be dependent on the seasons when booking your holiday. For the hottest weather, travel to the island from June to September as summer sees high temperatures around 28 degrees Celsius.

For the rest of the year, it's slightly colder with temperatures ranging from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. The weather's always beautiful and you can easily sunbathe during winter and summer months or take a dip in the mild sea. Water temperatures rarely drop below 20 degrees Celsius.

Begin your day at your luxury hotel with a breakfast buffet of cold cuts and fresh pastries. In the evening, sample Canarian, Italian and Spanish cuisine including paella, tapas, pasta and gourmet pizzas.

Luxury hotels often host themed buffets with international dishes and freshly caught seafood. Dine with a glass of wine in your hand as you watch the sunset over the ocean or Maspalomas dunes. Gran Canaria's fantastic vineyards were established by colonisers in the 16th century. Today, you can try the Abona region’s distinctive wine whites.

As with any holiday, it's a good idea to carry some identification with you. British citizens don't need a visa to enter Gran Canaria. Visit GOV.UK for more advice on passports, visas and travel.
