Discover Holidays to Playa del Ingles
Perched on the south coast of Gran Canaria, one of Ireland’s favourite Canary Islands, the resort of Playa del Ingles is known as one of Europe’s best loved playgrounds. Lying “yonder” in the Atlantic, off the west coast of the African continent, means the weather is amazing pretty much all year, so the crowds came from Germany and Scandinavia first then the Irish followed. The sun was the biggest draw for Playa del Ingles holidays as an Irish winter can shrivel up any sense of hope that a summer might be on the way! Playa del Ingles was a winner too because of the duty free goods, so a lot of pre-Christmas shopping was done here. Then, there was the entertainment – cheap restaurants, Irish pubs, live music and general craic. Holidays to Playa del Ingles had the great beach to back it all up too.
The dunes of Maspalomas, right on the edge of Playa del Ingles, brought the Germans first who got their kit off immediately. The huge sandy beach in front that stretches all the way along from Costa Meloneras through Maspalomas to Playa del Ingles is an enormous patch of sand, well serviced by loungers and brollies. Perfectly inviting for relaxing days, get your energy levels sorted for serious partying at night. This resort knows little about sleeping, yet is so broadly appealing that all ages adore it. Older adults and young teens cut their teeth on the nightlife on Playa del Ingles holidays. This is not a holiday destination to enjoy quiet or downtime! That cliché, the town that never sleeps, fits right in here.
A current, valid Passport is necessary for all visitors to Gran Canaria. Irish citizens do not need a visa.
