San Agustin holidays give you the best of both worlds. The town itself is a peaceful place, but right next door you've got lively Playa del Ingles.
Low-key town
San Agustin sits on Gran Canaria’s south coast. Although it’s been on the holiday map since the Seventies, the town’s managed to hang on to its chilled-out and crowd-free vibe. This place features a classic Canary Island crop of volcanic-sand beaches. The star of its sandy trio is Las Burras Beach, a windsurfer-friendly spot. If you’re after a break from the beach, there’s a pair of shopping centres where you can splash the cash.
Next door neighbour
Come nightfall, a sprinkling of pint-sized bars set the scene. But, if you fancy turning up the volume, it couldn’t be easier. Party-ready Playa del Ingles is just round the corner. A squad of bass-heavy bars and next-level nightclubs line the streets here. And, once you’ve worn out your dancing shoes, peaceful San Agustin’s just a 10-minute taxi ride away.
