Meloneras Gran Canaria
Meloneras is the "up and coming" resort area on the southern outskirts of
Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles approximately 30 minutes from Las Palmas
airport.
Accommodation
There are several smart bungalow complexes scattered around the area but this
modern resort is best known for its palatial style four and five star hotels,
many offering all inclusive accommodation. The Costa Meloneras is a fine example
of four star luxury boasting within it's grounds everything you would expect to
find in a small town back home.
The Promenade and Beach Area
The start of Meloneras is marked at the northern end by the Faro Lighthouse
from where a busy promenade runs the length of the super sandy beach, home to
restaurants, bars and shops all of rather an upmarket nature. Of course, for the
serious sand lovers the resort of Meloneras is only a stones throw away from the
dunes of Maspalomas, eight kilometres of mountain upon mountain of fine desert
sand. There's Italian and Chinese restaurants as well as many international
eateries selling a wide range of gastronomic delights along the prom in
Meloneras. Half way along the promenade is a shopping centre with a good mix of
souvenir and designer style shops. At the southern end of Meloneras there is
another small promenade of bars and restaurants and the beach runs off into that
of a more rural nature, an ideal area for cliff walkers and great for fishing
enthusiasts lazing on the rocks in the sun. In the evening the sunset is
amazing, silver seas twinkling against a background of red sky.
Things to See in Meloneras
A must to visit if you are staying in or around Meloneras is the Casino
featuring the Legends Cabaret Show. The show, as would suggest from the title,
is themed around singing and dancing legends and is professionally performed.
So, for that special night out, birthday or anniversary celebration, book in for
the pre-show meal and then sit back, relax with the tipple of your choice, and
enjoy the show. When the last song has been sung you can pass through into the
Casino and take your chance at the roulette wheel or on the blackjack table.
For the golf players, the resort of Meloneras offers a brand new 18 hole golf
course catering for all ages and standards with tuition available if required.
Excursions to many island attractions are available from Meloneras, such as Jeep
Safaris, Game Fishing, Island Tours, Camel Rides and Water Park attractions, and
for the adrenalin junkie you can even take a trip over the coastline in a four
seater light aircraft for a birds eye view of the area.
If it is a class holiday you are looking for, Meloneras has it all and is nicely
located to visit other parts of the island too. |
