Hotel HL Sahara Playa

Set right by the seafront in Playa del Inglés, this hotel puts you in a cracking spot for a classic Gran Canaria break. The beach is just a short stroll away, and you’re also close to the buzz of the resort centre, with Yumbo, Kasbah and Cita all within easy reach for shops, bars and easy-going evening wanders. It’s the kind of location that makes lazy beach mornings, promenade strolls and last-minute ice cream stops feel wonderfully effortless.

Back at the hotel, the holiday mood is already in full swing. There are swimming pools for cooling off, sun terraces for doing gloriously little, and entertainment including live music to keep things lively after dark. The hotel also offers an all inclusive option, which keeps food and drinks nice and easy, with an on-site restaurant ready for laid-back mealtimes between dips in the pool and beach runs. This is a great shout for anyone after a fuss-free stay in one of Gran Canaria’s best-known beach resorts.
