Why visit Playa del Cura

The resort of Playa del Cura is slightly off the beaten track, offering quiet beaches, a handful of local restaurants and an overall much less touristy feel. It’s ideal for couples or families looking for relaxation, away from the crowds and bustle of bigger beach holiday destinations. It’s also not far from the lively Puerto Rico resort, so you can enjoy a night out or two as well.

Things to do

Cura beach is the antithesis of the busy resort beach filled with shops and bars. The beach here feels more natural and authentic, a peaceful getaway with dark, volcanic sand and calm waters. A little further down the road is Tauro Beach, possibly the next go-to beach in Gran Canaria, which is being given a facelift with a new marina, promenade and shops.

Finally, just 10 minutes walk from Playa del Cura, Amadores Beach has plenty going on. Offering spotless Blue Flag sands, man-made from crushed Caribbean coral, it’s also a popular destination for diving. Active holidaymakers can also hike the challenging cliff-top route around the resort, or take the coastal path for a more relaxed walk.

Top Attractions

If you’re visiting the Canaries for some winter sun, be sure to check out the Festival of Almond Blossom which takes place in January. Celebrating the time the almond trees come into bloom, festivities including singing and dancing, parties and almond wine.

The main attractions throughout the year can be found in the nearby resort of Puerto Rico, which offers buzzing nightlife, shopping outlets, a range of restaurants and bars. Alternatively, for some nature sightseeing, take a trip to the famous sand dunes at Maspalomas.

Popular Restaurants

While the choice of restaurants at Playa del Cura isn’t enormous, the ones available offer some fantastic menus. Enjoy all the fresh fish you can eat as well as a variety of Canarian dishes at welcoming restaurants such as Rhodos Palace. Alternatively, if you fancy a change, try the meny at Happy Valley Indian Restaurant or grab a tasty pizza at Pizzicato.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
