Gran Canaria is an almost perfectly circular island that lies just in the Canary Islands, which is off the coast of northwest Africa. With a land area that stretches up to 1,530 sq km (590 sq mi), Gran Canaria is the third-largest island among the Canary Islands, after Tenerife and Fuerteventura. Dubbed as a continent in miniature, Gran Canaria features a variety of landscapes that are accessible to tourists all throughout the year. With beaches, mountain peaks, tracts of farmland, pine forests, peaceful coves, untouched sands, and unique dunes, it’s no wonder why almost half of Gran Canaria’s surface area has been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. When traveling to this island with family and friends, choose a home that will make the experience memorable. For that, scroll down for the best luxury villas in Gran Canaria, Spain.
