Townhouse in Telde
A house that "flies" over the sea
A house that "flies" over the sea. Salinetas beach, Gran Canaria. Architecture and nature come together in this amazing house literally hanging over the sea, in a privileged location on the east coast of Gran Canaria. The building "flies" over the rocks visually plunging into the sea and giving you the feeling of sailing on a boat on the clear waters of the Atlantic. Sleeping rocked by the sound of the waves, or watch, without leaving the bed, the sun reflected in the sea at dawn; dine on the terrace by moonlight feeling the caress of the breeze ... are unforgettable experiences that this house guarantees. The house is very bright and faces the sea. The terrace of the living room has a dining table with room for six people, and the master bedroom terrace has a hammock for sunbathing, relax and enjoy the view or just reading a good book. And how far is the beach? Well, just beside the house! Just open the door and you can go down to the beach or to the rocky surfaces located under the house, with magnificent natural platforms for sunbathing and spectacular “charcones” studded with small marine life. Salinetas is a quiet beach where you can relax, rest, practice water sports, cycling, hiking, all in a very unique and familiar. To the north, a pedestrian maritime promenade connects with the beaches of Melenara , Taliarte , “Playa del Hombre” and “La Garita”. The Promenade features restaurants and terraces where you can taste the cuisine of the area, including the highly recommended "gofio escaldado" or the "papas con mojo”. “Playa del Hombre” is one of the most suitable beaches on the island for surfing. To the south you'll find small coves like “Silva” or “Aguadulce”, or the incredible fishing village of “Tufia”, with its cave houses and its archaeological site, remains of pre-hispanic inhabitants of the island. A little further south, the seaside village of “Ojos de Garza”, the vast bay of “Gando”, and the beaches of “El Cabrón” and “Arinaga”, whose seabed is considered the best in Spain for diving. "Las Clavellinas", the town where the house is integrated has little shops and supermarkets. By car or taking the bus, at a short distance from the house, you can be reached within 5 minutes to the largest shopping and leisure areas of the island, the golf course of “El Cortijo” and the airport itself. The access time to Telde´s historic core is about 10 minutes, 15 to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, capital of the island, and about 30 to Maspalomas.

Your guide to Gran Canaria

All About Gran Canaria

Secluded beaches, historic architecture, scenic landscapes, and lively nightlife: It’s no wonder Gran Canaria is described as a miniature continent. Like its neighbors in the Canary archipelago, this round island, which measures 31 miles across, was created through volcanic eruptions somewhere between 9 and 14 million years ago. Coastal towns and resorts ring the island like a necklace, while the imposing Pico de las Nieves mountain rises nearly 6,400 feet above its center. The north is dominated by the capital city of Las Palmas, a cultural destination famed for its Fiesta de San Juan in June. The warm, sunny southern coast packs in a variety of resort areas, each with its own vibe, whether it’s stylish Meloneras, with luxury shopping and a charming seafront promenade; relaxing San Agustín; and busy Playa del Inglés, one of the island’s hotspots for clubbing and a top destination for LGBTQ travelers. A bit farther west lies Puerto de Mogán, a pretty fishing village with whitewashed sea-view villas strewn with bougainvillea.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria enjoys consistently warm and pleasant weather all year long. With very little rainfall (fewer than six inches annually) and endless sunny days, you couldn’t ask for a better climate for your hard-earned vacation. The temperature is almost always in the 70s or low 80s Fahrenheit, whether it’s January or June, and the sea temperature is just a few degrees below that. Warm winds blow across the island, creating ideal conditions for windsurfing and sailing around the southern resorts of Meloneras and Maspalomas.


Top things to do in Gran Canaria

Maspalomas Dunes and Lighthouse

Nature lovers shouldn’t skip this 1,000-acre nature reserve, home to migrating seabirds and massive golden sand dunes. Nearby, the elegant 184-foot Maspalomas Lighthouse dates back to the 1890s and is still in operation; it’s a great spot to take in the sunset before dinner in one of the restaurants on Meloneras Boulevard.

Las Canteras Beach

The vast central beach in Las Palmas features more than 1.5 miles of coastline, but some of the best action happens underwater. Some say diving here is like being in a fish tank. Be on the lookout for cuttlefish, parrotfish, barracudas, scorpion fish, sea urchins, octopuses, and turtles.

The Painted Cave (Cueva Pintada)

The geometric patterns painted on these cave walls by the indigenous Canarii have fascinated archaeologists for more than a century. Learn more about the island’s earliest inhabitants at this archaeological park in Galdar, in the northwest.
