Playa Taurito holidays plant you on a small-but-perfectly-formed patch of sand, where watersports, a waterpark and tapas bars are at the ready.
Sunny south-west Gran Canaria
With craggy cliffs on three sides, and rolling sea views on the other, Playa Taurito feels nicely cut-off from its larger Gran Canarian counterparts. It’s just what the doctor ordered if you’re looking to up sticks and park yourself on a good-looking slice of black-sand beach, where you can take full advantage of the Canary Islands’ year-round sunshine.
Slides and sangria
Just because it feels tucked away, that doesn’t mean Playa Taurito is a wallflower. You can unleash your competitive side on the beach volleyball court, ride the slides at the waterpark, and bounce across the waves on a banana boat or jet-ski. For something more down-tempo, rotate between coffee, tapas and cocktails at the handful of bars along the short-but-pretty prom.
