A Playa del Cura holiday's just what the doctor ordered, if you're looking for a dose of peace and quiet within easy reach of a bigger resort, like Puerto Rico.
A quiet corner of the Canary Islands
Stick ‘cura’ into Google translate and you’ll see it means ‘care’ in English. It’s a fitting name for this sleepy slice of beach on the south-west coast of Gran Canaria. The focus here’s on treating yourself to some rest and relaxation.
Easy on the eye
Most hotels here are right by the sea or perched on the hillside, so great views are guaranteed pretty much anywhere you stay. Expect a scoop of silver sand and mountain-peak-filled panoramas stretching out before you.
