Set into the mouth of a steep valley on the south west coast of Gran Canaria, you will find Puerto Mogan. One of the quietest Gran Canaria holiday resorts on the island’s south coast, it favours quality over anything else. Puerto Mogan will make you forget that you’re in a purpose-built resort!
A working fishing port brings a feel of old-world charm to your Gran Canaria holidays, as does the fact that the village allows no buildings higher than three stories – this means no high-rise hotels! Sea-water channels and picturesque bridges run through the village, earning Puerto Mogan the title of ’Little Venice’ and it’s one of the most charming sights in the resort.
Puerto Mogan offers visitors many things to do. Trips to other areas of Gran Canaria such as Puerto Rico and Maspalomas can be arranged on some of the beautiful boats in the marina. A submarine can take you to watch the marine life in all its glory. For those who prefer to keep thair feet planted firmly on the ground, a huge market opens every Friday morning and Puerto Mogan offers some very scenic walks!
Unlike other, busier parts of Gran Canaria, Puerto Mogan doesn’t feature huge hotels or boisterous bars. Quality tapas bars, fresh fish restaurants and chilled-out cafés are the order of the day out here! The resort does feature a few hotels which are of high quality. As well as hotels, the resort has lots of cute villas up for rent.
Puerto Mogan features a gem of a beach! Enclosed so the waters are safer, people love to just soak up the rays and relax on the beautiful Saharan sand. Puerto Mogan has that little extra that turns good Gran Canaria holidays into great holidays!
