Accommodation
Description
Charming accommodation of 60m2 with an outdoor terrace from which you can sit and contemplate the direct sea views of Las Canteras beach and its impressive sunsets.
The accommodation has 2 double bedrooms, with capacity for 4 people, ideal for families.
Located on the front line of Las Canteras beach avenue, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, surrounded by all the services of restaurants, supermarkets and shops, as well as many other activities.
The independent kitchen is fully equipped and has a ceramic hob, fridge, microwave, freezer, washing machine, crockery, cutlery, kitchen utensils, coffee machine, toaster, kettle and juicer.
The flat has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing holiday but at home !
It is located 10 m from the beach of Las Canteras, where you can enjoy with the family pleasant walks along the avenue or on the beach.
From Canariasgetaway we are sure you will enjoy a wonderful stay and holiday in Gran Canaria (Biosphere Reserve) with unbeatable views of "La Playa de Las Canteras" and Tenerife, with the highest peak in Spain above it (El Teide 3718 m) as well as the spectacular sunsets.
"La Playa de Las Canteras" is a long stretch of sand, occupying some 3800 metres of coastline, stretching across the bay.
Las Canteras is one of the best urban beaches in the country and in the world, as it is a beach with good weather almost all year round. It is the place in the capital to relax, where time stands still and where you can do sport any day of the week, wearing a swimming costume, bikini, goggles and snorkel, paddle (beach rackets) or surfboard.
It is also a great marine life reserve. Its seabed is home to a thousand types of fish. On land, it is a refuge for walkers, fishermen and surfers. And it has a special peculiarity. This peculiarity is what the locals call "La Barra", a long rocky formation that spreads out not far from the sand and protects a large part of the beach from the tides, transforming it into a natural saltwater pool when the tide is out. A curious line of stones makes the bay the best place on this side of the globe for swimming, as the salty sea facilitates buoyancy and, when wearing swimming goggles, gives the impression of being inside a large aquarium.
And if you want to walk, we recommend the long promenade that winds along the sand, passing cafés and ice-cream parlours. At the beginning of the promenade you will find the terraces of La Puntilla and the fresh fish restaurants. At the other end of the beach, the surfing atmosphere around the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, with more terraces and cafes facing the sea.
Las Canteras is the Changing Beach. It will never be the same place as the day before. It will be completely different. And that is another of its peculiarities. It always stays in
the same place, but it is always different.

Absolutely lovely place with an incredible location, in one of the best city beaches in the World, Las Canteras.
Even so, very quiet. Magnificenct cafes and restaurants around, and all the amenities needed.

Reception was a bit shaky for us since we do not have a SIM card in our phone and the process relied heavily on a phone-Internet connection.
Finally "Raúl" arrived promptly and saved the day (thanks to some local friends who called).

We had a great stay in this place and especially enjoyed the amazing terrace and the location directly next to the beach. The communication was a bit pushy, as we were contacted from different sides about an appointment for maintenance issues.

This place was in the most perfect location! Right on the beach and there was a boardwalk with so many amazing restaurants! I could’ve spent so many more days here. The host was excellent at getting back to you quickly and helping us out whenever we see more
This place was in the most perfect location! Right on the beach and there was a boardwalk with so many amazing restaurants! I could’ve spent so many more days here. The host was excellent at getting back to you quickly and helping us out whenever we needed him. The only downside was the WiFi did not work half of the trip and the place is a lot smaller than expected. Otherwise, it was a great stay!

We really enjoyed our vacation in this apartment. The location is very central . You have a supermarket, food stuff directly around you. The balcony is so nice even in the evening, when it‘s a bit windy and you still want to enjoy the sunset. We will miss this incredible view.

We had a great stay, beautiful view and perfect location- we actually spent a lot of our time out on the balcony in the gorgeous sunshine! We had problems with the Wi-Fi, but as we had data on our phones didn’t really worry too much about it

Eine schöne, funktionale und angenehme Unterkunft direkt an der Promenade. Das Meeresrauschen gibt einem jeden Tag ein unvergleichliches Urlaubsgefühl und die Terrasse bietet einen wunderbaren Ausblick über den Strand Las Canteras. Die Wohnung ist Teil eines normalen Wohnhauses und unter den freundlichen Nachbarn, die über die Balkonbrüstung hinweg grüßen, fühlt man sich gleich gut integriert.

The apartment was nice and clean, slightly smaller than how it looks from pictures. Downsides were that it was a bit cold during our staying and we only managed to get some additional blankets the 4th of the 7 days of our staying. The flat also is pretty empty compared to average service Airbnb’s (only two paper rolls for 7 days, no hands soap, no welcome pack etc). The overall experience was nice and recommended.

Magnificent flat in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with a large terrace with sea views. It has 1 double bedroom and sofa bed in the living room, so it can accommodate up to four people. Great terrace where you can sunbathe, eat and enjoy the incredible sunsets and sea views. The building has large communal areas including a beautiful swimming pool overlooking the sea. Building with lift. Accommodation of 70 m2 comfortable and fully equipped, located on the beachfront, with great views of the sea and the mountains and a great terrace facing the sea. It has a double bedroom, bathroom, cosy living room with dining table and fully equipped kitchen, with ceramic hob, fridge, microwave, freezer, washing machine, crockery, cutlery, kitchen utensils, coffee maker, toaster, kettle, juicer, etc... It also has two TVs, iron, hairdryer and unlimited Wifi connection. Located right on the promenade of Las Canteras, one of the best urban beaches in the world, surrounded by all the necessary services for an unforgettable holiday. From CanariasGetaway we are sure you will enjoy a wonderful stay and holiday in Gran Canaria (Biosphere Reserve) with unbeatable views of "La Playa de Las Canteras" and Tenerife, with the highest peak in Spain above it (El Teide 3718 m) as well as the spectacular sunsets. "La Playa de Las Canteras" is a long stretch of sand, occupying some 3800 metres of coastline, stretching across the bay. Las Canteras is one of the best urban beaches in the country and in the world, as it is a beach with good weather almost all year round. It is the place in the capital to relax, where time stands still and where you can do sport any day of the week, wearing a swimming costume, bikini, goggles and snorkel, paddle (beach rackets) or surfboard. It is also a great marine life reserve. Its seabed is home to a thousand types of fish. On land, it is a refuge for walkers, fishermen and surfers. And it has a special peculiarity. This peculiarity is what the locals call "La Barra", a long rocky formation that spreads out not far from the sand and protects a large part of the beach from the tides, transforming it into a natural saltwater pool when the tide is out. A curious line of stones makes the bay the best place on this side of the globe for swimming, as the salty sea facilitates buoyancy and, when wearing swimming goggles, gives the impression of being inside a large aquarium. And if you want to walk, we recommend the long promenade that winds along the sand, passing cafés and ice-cream parlours. At the beginning of the promenade you will find the terraces of La Puntilla and the fresh fish restaurants. At the other end of the beach, the surfing atmosphere around the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium, with more terraces and cafes facing the sea. Las Canteras is the Playa Cambiante. It will never be the same place as the day before. It will be completely different. And that is another of its peculiarities. It always stays in the same place, but it is always different.12 reviews
