Hotels in Taurito

Taurito

Taurito is a small, tranquil resort tucked between dramatic volcanic cliffs on Gran Canaria's southwest coast, midway between Puerto Rico and Puerto de Mogan. The resort centres around a sheltered bay with a wide beach of fine black volcanic sand, popular with families for its calm, shallow waters and year-round warm climate. Los Lagos de Taurito, the island's only saltwater water park, offers lagoon-style pools, waterslides, and tropical gardens right in the heart of the resort. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy jet skiing, parasailing, and scuba diving directly from the beach. The surrounding clifftop paths provide scenic walking routes with panoramic ocean views, while the picturesque harbour town of Puerto de Mogan is just a short drive or boat trip away. Dining is largely centred around the resort's all-inclusive hotels, though nearby Mogan offers a wider selection of independent restaurants and a famous Friday market. Taurito appeals to families and couples seeking a peaceful, self-contained beach holiday away from the busier southern resorts of Gran Canaria.
