An island of diverse landscapes and eternal sunshine
Fly to Gran Canaria with British Airways and uncover the many faces of this volcanic Spanish island.
Begin in Las Palmas, with its pretty streets and historic landmarks. The neoclassical Catedral de Santa Ana in the city’s historic quarter of Vegueta is a must-see – and don’t miss the local market for fresh produce and artisinal wares on Sundays.
Then retreat to the long sandy stretch of Playa de las Canteras with its traffic-free promenade, where you can snorkel or simply soak up the sun with a cocktail.
For more water sports, visit the relaxed fishing village and port of Mogan for scuba diving. Or head south to surf or wander the dramatic sand dunes of Maspalomas – also a famously good spot to watch the sun set. Book your Gran Canaria holiday now.

Gran Canaria flight FAQs
Flights from London to Gran Canaria take just over four hours.
The island is hugely popular in the summer and winter months, so book your flights in spring or autumn to save but still enjoy the warm temperatures and year-round sunshine.
Your trip to Gran Canaria can fit any budget, especially if you do a little forward planning. Finding affordable restaurants and bars is an easy feat on the island. Just look out for where the locals eat – typically away from the busy tourist strips.
As the temperature on the island rarely drops below 20°C – even in the winter months – you can comfortably spend a lot of time outside, exploring the streets of Las Palmas by foot or taking advantage of all the natural beauty spots that are perfect for hikes. When it comes to venturing further around the island, make the most of the great value bus services to discover the various towns and villages.
From Gran Canaria airport, you can travel to your resort or hotel by private transfer, taxi or bus. The bus to Las Palmas takes around 20 minutes and goes every half an hour.
You can explore Las Palmas easily on foot or by hiring a bike – there are several bike lanes connecting different parts of the city. To explore the island further, buses run along all the popular routes. Or for ease, you can book private transfers on the island to take you everywhere you’d like to explore.
You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see all that Gran Canaria has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.
Known for its unique micro-climate and varied landscapes, Gran Canaria is the third largest island in the Canaries archipelago. Lively, full of history and with miles of unspoilt nature to explore, visitors love returning year after year and it’s a popular spot for some winter sun. Head inland to hike or cycle along its rugged trails, or stick to the coastline to make the most of the waves and underwater treasures with some windsurfing or scuba diving. History buffs are in luck too – you can go back in time at the Cueva Pintada Museum and Archaeological Park to explore the remains of cave houses from pre-Hispanic times.
Whether you’re visiting the historic cosmopolitan capital of Las Palmas, sampling fresh seafood by the sea or simply hopping from one beautiful beach to another, there’s something here to tick every box.
