Puerto Rico Holidays

Set on the south west corner of Gran Canaria, Puerto Rico holidays are a sun-washed medley of beautiful beaches and lively nightlife. Once a laidback fishing port, today it is a cosmopolitan family resort, with hotels and shopping complexes offering irresistible, duty-free shopping, international cuisine and 5-star entertainment. Holidays in Puerto Rico are about kicking back and relaxing on soft, inviting sands and plunging into warm, azure waters. For a change of scene, check out the retail delights of the Pasarela Shopping Centre. And when the sun goes down, get ready for some fun Canarian-style. Take a stroll down the buzzing promenade, have a cocktail in a classy beachfront bar and take in the sights of Puerto Rico. With so much on offer, Puerto Rico holidays tick the boxes for beach addicts and party lovers alike.

Beach Time in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico has two standout beaches, to the north is the gorgeous crescent-shaped Amadores Beach, a Blue Flag winning, 800-metre sweep of golden sand and a perfect spot for watersports. Then in the town centre is the main beach of Puerto Rico. This pretty, curve of sand is ideal for family-friendly beach activities, backed by a lively promenade with bars, tropical gardens and two public swimming pools.

Shopping in Puerto Rico

Gran Canaria is a paradise for retail addicts with a wide range of duty-free shops, and Puerto Rico is no exception. Next to Puerto Rico Beach is Pasarela Shopping Centre, which is a home to a number of designer shops and cosmopolitan pubs and bars. While, a 10-minute walk along Carretera General takes you to the Puerto Rico Shopping Centre, which is the heart of Puerto Rico’s shopping and bar scene. But, if you like your retail al fresco check out the tourist stalls along the promenade and local boutiques where you can barter for some great deals on clothes and shoes.

Living it up in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a vibrant town with a modern feel to it and evenings are best spent at the beachside bars, cafes, classy restaurants and clubs.
