Puerto Mogan Holidays

Puerto Mogan, on the south-west coast, is the most picturesque resort on the island of Gran Canaria and has what some claim to be the best climate in the world. Summer daytime average temperatures are normally in the high twenties to mid-thirties Celsius, usually with a refreshing sea-breeze. In winter temperatures are only a few degrees lower and also our daylight hours are longer than those in Europe, sunrise today in Mogan is at 06:13 and sunset at 19:52- except of course, in the shadow of the cliffs!

Within the last ten years the area behind the beach has been developed, with luxury apartment buildings looking out over the beach of golden sand imported from the Sahara, and beyond to the port and the Atlantic Ocean. A couple of hundred metres back from the beach is the Hotel Cordial Playa Mogan.

On the promenade, restaurants, offering a variety of cuisines, are a great place to watch the boats and the Yellow Submarine coming and going from the harbour entrance across the sheltered bay, which is ideal for safe and easy swimming.

There are sun loungers, parasols, pedaloes and canoes for hire on the beach. Beyond the rocky mole protecting the beach the sea is a little more lively and would suit stronger swimmers especially if they like to snorkel.
