Love warm weather, pine forests and beautiful beaches? Good, then you’ll love Gran Canaria, a miniature continent with a diverse landscape, home to a whole host of attractions from windsurfing and water sports to the Playa Del Ingles, a seaside resort with many of the island’s biggest and best clubs, pubs and bars.

Kids and adults alike will love the 200 kilometres of sandy beaches and the notorious Dunes of Maspalomas, a nature reserve that’s bathed in sunlight for most of the year and which backs on to the largest golf course on the island. Alternatively, take a rootin’ tootin’ trip to Sioux City, a Wild West adventure with western shows, horseback adventures and a paintball park.
