Hotels in Meloneras

Meloneras

Meloneras is an upscale resort on the south coast of Gran Canaria, in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, just west of the Maspalomas lighthouse. Developed from the late 1990s, it has the highest concentration of high-end resort hotels in the Maspalomas Costa Canaria area. Playa de Meloneras is a Blue Flag beach of fine golden sand, about 570 m long and very accessible. A promenade of about 2 km runs from the Faro de Maspalomas to Meloneras beach, lined with restaurants, shops and terraces overlooking the sea. The 58 m lighthouse, designed by Juan de León y Castillo and lit in 1890, now houses an ethnographic centre. Along the promenade lie the Punta Mujeres archaeological site and the Tony Gallardo art and nature park. Meloneras Golf has 18 holes, and the Expomeloneras convention centre hosts large congresses and events. Boulevard El Faro offers spas, restaurants and live music in the evenings, and the Maspalomas Dunes begin just east of the lighthouse. The Pasito Blanco marina is about 2 km away, and the GC-1 motorway serves Meloneras through exits 46 and 50. Meloneras suits couples and travellers looking for a refined stay with large resort hotels, spas and a calm seafront.
