Hotels in Bahía Feliz

Bahía Feliz

Bahía Feliz is a small resort on the south-east coast of Gran Canaria, in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, about 7 km north-east of Playa del Inglés. Its name means "happy bay", and it was built around the bay of Playa de Tarajalillo. The beach has dark volcanic sand and pebbles with moderate waves, and it has no lifeguard service. Steady winds make the bay a popular windsurfing spot, and boards can be rented on site. The resort is quieter than its larger neighbours and consists mainly of hotels, bungalows and apartment complexes. Small shopping centres provide supermarkets, restaurants and pubs within walking distance of the beach. Garbo's Dinner Show, with 340 seats, is described as the largest cabaret restaurant on the island. The calm Blue Flag beach of San Agustín is a short drive away, and Playa del Inglés and the Maspalomas Dunes are also within easy reach. Bahía Feliz lies just off the GC-1 motorway, which the resort has been connected to since 1980, so the airport is only a short drive away. It suits families and couples who want a peaceful base close to the airport and the southern beaches.
