This purpose built resort on Gran Canaria’s south western coast centres on the beach which is simply gorgeous. A summer holiday to Playa Taurito is such a perfect sun worshipper’s paradise because it is a swathe of soft glittering sands beautifully set between two wind sheltering cliffs. There’s also a soupçon of the unexpected. The sands are not the golden type but are true to the nature of the Canary Islands and are black volcanic, giving the setting an exotic feel. Another major attraction of a Playa Taurito summer holiday is the beach lido, a lagoon-style pool complete with bridges, terraces and bars.

A Playa Taurito summer holiday attracts those who prefer to relax away from crowded beaches and resorts that rock all night, so the evenings consist of casual bars and laid back restaurants and pretty shops for browsing rather than for finding a designer label. However, all the facilities you might need when you need to dip a toe into the hustle and bustle are all on the doorstep. At Puerto Morgan and Puerto Rico you’ll find everything to complement your Playa Taurito summer holiday.
