Why Travel to the Canary Islands in Summer?
Without a doubt, the Canary Islands have always been a spectacular destination for summer travel thanks to their mild temperatures throughout the year and their wide variety of beaches, with golden, white and even black sand of volcanic origin. They allow you to enjoy swimming in crystal-clear waters and practising countless water sports.
Another major advantage of the Canary Islands is that they are known not only for their beautiful picture-postcard beaches, but also for their towns and villages that preserve local culture. And, of course, we cannot forget their markets and leisure centres, where you can enjoy local culture and shopping during the summer.
Our hotels are located on the islands of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, ideal destinations for a summer holiday with your partner, friends or family, where you can enjoy a unique and unforgettable experience. On both islands, you will find the very best of the archipelago. Do not miss them!

Playa del Inglés
This is undoubtedly one of the best destinations for a summer holiday. We are talking about the popular Playa del Inglés. It is known for its 6 kilometres of golden sand facing the vast Atlantic Ocean.
Another feature that makes this beach unique is its geographical location on the island, as it is surrounded by the dunes of the Maspalomas Nature Reserve, which is home to interesting native plant and animal species that are highly representative of the island.
Among the many activities you can enjoy at Playa del Inglés are surfing and kayaking, riding a jet ski, and exploring the many restaurants and shopping centres in the surrounding area. Therefore, if you are looking for a good place to travel in summer, this destination in Gran Canaria should be added to your list of getaways.
To visit the charming Playa del Inglés, you can book a stay at one of our hotels, including Corallium Dunamar by Lopesan Hotels, which is ideal if you are travelling with your partner and want to enjoy an adults-only atmosphere.
At this hotel, you will have the opportunity to enjoy exceptional seafront facilities, as well as delicious cuisine.
Playa de San Agustín
On the other hand, if you enjoy peace and quiet, pleasant weather, water sports or tasting delicious dishes from traditional Canarian cuisine while at the beach, you will undoubtedly be interested in discovering Playa de San Agustín in Gran Canaria.
Playa de San Agustín has become one of the most popular summer destinations among locals and tourists looking to relax and completely switch off during their summer holidays.
It is a highly recommended holiday destination thanks to its panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the combination of its rocky mountain landscape with the dark tones of its volcanic sand. Do not miss it!
If you need an excellent place to stay near this beach, our hotels Corallium Beach by Lopesan Hotels and Abora Interclub Atlantic by Lopesan Hotels are exactly what you are looking for to enjoy a memorable holiday. While the first property is designed for adults, the second offers entertainment options for the whole family.
Best Beaches for a Summer Holiday in Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura is another perfect option for a summer holiday, whether as a couple or with the family. Thanks to its privileged location in the Atlantic Ocean, just 100 km from the northern coast of Africa, the island enjoys excellent weather throughout the year.
Playa de Jandía
Another spectacular recommendation for a summer holiday is Playa de Jandía. This magical stretch of coastline is located on the peninsula of the same name, in the south of the extensive island of Fuerteventura.
There, you can explore some of the most beautiful landscapes on the island and take part in activities designed for the whole family, making it one of the best places to travel with children in summer.
If you are planning to visit this coastline and spend a few relaxing days there, we invite you to discover the IFA Altamarena Hotel, which offers an extensive range of activities so you can make the most of your holiday. Among these options are water sports and other leisure activities such as tennis, darts and billiards, as well as excellent cuisine.
And that is not all! Playa de Jandía is located just a few kilometres from the fishing village of Morro Jable, where you can go shopping in the various shops scattered along the main avenue. Therefore, if you are looking to combine the beach with other leisure options, this is undoubtedly one of the most highly recommended places for a summer holiday.
Playa de Butihondo
Located at the mouths of Barranco de Butihondo and Barranco de Esquinzo, very close to the village of Morro Jable, is the well-known Playa de Butihondo, also called Playa de Esquinzo.
This beach stretches for one and a half kilometres and features golden sand and calm waters, as well as a gentle breeze throughout the year. Playa de Butihondo offers visitors sunbed and parasol hire so they can enjoy maximum comfort during their holiday.
If you are looking for good accommodation in Morro Jable, the IFA Villas Altamarena are fully equipped with all the services and facilities needed to make your stay a pleasant experience.
Playa Risco del Paso
Finally, another beautiful summer destination is the secluded Playa Risco del Paso in Fuerteventura. While the previous options are generally quite popular with tourists, Playa del Risco is much quieter, so if you prefer this kind of destination, do not hesitate to visit it on your next holiday.
In addition, the waves and wind are quite strong, making this beach one of the favourite options for windsurfing enthusiasts.
