This luxurious hotel is located in the small resort of Puerto de Mogan, where local fishermen still sell their daily catches at the town’s market. With an average of 320 sunshine days a year, it’s one of the top destinations for avoiding grey clouds. Radisson Blu Gran Canaria Mogan boasts a children’s pool (with water jets) and a kids’ club. For the adults there’s a large swimming area with a sun terrace, a spa, gym and sports facilities. What more could you want?

Start your day with breakfast at The Larder, it’s served until 10:30 on weekdays and 11am at the weekend. You may choose to return here in the evening for the international buffet, with themed corners. Lovers of Italian food should reserve a table at Filini, where the menu includes freshly made pizza and pasta, accompanied by the finest wine. There’s kid friendly options, as well as alternatives for those with intolerances. Two poolside bar restaurants offer relaxed lunches, as well as your favourite drinks from mid-morning until the evening.

Standard and Superior rooms are a generous 35m2 and can accommodate a maximum of three adults and one child under 12. You’ll have your own balcony to chill out on and a walk-in rainshower to cool down in. WiFi is available, while the TV offers mirror casting, making it easy to video call your loved ones back home. If you like a spontaneous swim, upgrade to get direct pool access. Premium rooms and Suites have the added benefit of a Nespresso® machine. The Three Bed Suite can cater for extended families of eight.

The hotel is 1.5km inland from the sandy stretches of Playa de Mogan and the harbour, where a choice of boat trips are on offer. A fun family day out is just 16km away, thanks to Aqualand Maspalomas, with white knuckle rides for adrenaline junkies and a separate waterpark for young children to splash around in.

Adventurers may wish to head up to one of the island’s landmarks - Roque Nublo (23km away). This volcanic rock was formed over four million years ago and stands at 80m tall, offering panoramic views of the island. If you like a challenge, hike up from the bottom, or if you’re not up for that, you can park a short walk from the summit. For a more recent piece of history take a wander around Las Palmas Old Town (45km away), where the impressive cathedral dates from the 1500s. While you’re in the city, don’t miss out on getting a selfie with one of the dog sculptures!
