Given its snowballing tourism industry, there are several all-inclusive resorts in Gran Canaria for adults. So, if you seek a place to unwind away from the kids, Gran Canaria is your best bet in the region. Here is a complete guide to Gran Canaria to help you plan your vacation.

What is the weather like in Gran Canaria

The isle has a sub-tropical climate, sweltering summers, and very mild winters. Gran Canaria is perched only 150km from North Africa's coast in a region that is hot and dry most of the year. The high mountains perched in the center of the island shelter the southern part from strong northeast winds. The summer months (July to September) are the hottest months, with highs of 28°C and a great time to alternate between the beach and the seas. During this period, the island swarms with travelers, and it is referred to as the high season.
The winter months are an excellent alternative for a much more temperate climate and fewer crowds. In December, the temperatures average 22°C, and the warm winds blowing in from the Sahara keep the island warm making it a great winter destination. And despite the fall in temperatures, the sea is still mildly warm, meaning you can still go for a swim.

What to expect from Gran Canaria

Referred to as a miniature continent, Gran Canaria is a Spanish archipelago brimming with countless beaches, undulating mountains, dusty deserts, and red-earthed pine forests to cater to all travelers. However, towards the end of the past decade, the island had become undesirable thanks to cheap air ticket deals and boozy British tourists who had tarnished its name. So of late, the island has redefined itself as a wholesome destination for all travelers. And this has also crossed into the adult-only hotels in Gran Canaria. Prior, many offered tacky retro aesthetics, but most have revamped to cater to the modern traveler.
Located along the nautical intersection between Europe, Africa and the Americas, the island has picked up a myriad of cultures, evident in everything from cuisines to pervasive Latino beats. The island's peculiar food culture has been a fascination since Columbus' journeys to and from the Americas. Over the centuries, the island has picked several cuisines from its visitors, giving it a diverse culinary scene.
The island is primarily developed, and the best way to get around is by road. Whether you opt for car hire or its Global buses that can get you to each corner of the island, you will easily find your way around.

What to do and see in the Gran Canaria

One of the perks of holidaying in the Gran Canaria is its rich diversity. For example, you could go snorkeling and later plan a trip to the desert. The remarkable Maspalomas Dunes in its bustling town are a unique desert experience. The golden dunes cover 990 acres and draw a comparison to the Sahara. To get a lay of the land, take any of the several camel tours in the region.
Countless marine spotting tours ride off the coast into the sea in search of marine life, such as Dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. The cost of this trip includes hotel pick up and drop off. For outdoor enthusiasts, the massive Pueblo Nublo (80m) has several hiking routes and is a great place to see the island's wild side.
