The best all-inclusive hotels in Gran Canaria

Published on 16 July 2026

Gran Canaria is one of the easiest Canary Islands to book an all-inclusive hotel, especially if you’re after a complete, comfortable stay that’s simple to plan. Most options are in the south of the island, around Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, Meloneras, Puerto Rico, Amadores, or San Agustín, with plenty of properties designed for enjoying everything on site. Broadly speaking, expect large hotels with pools, restaurants, entertainment, kids’ clubs, family packages and, in some cases, quieter adults-only areas. To get a better sense of the different areas before booking, you can also read our full guide on where to stay in Gran Canaria.

An all-inclusive package is best for travelers who want to keep meal planning to a minimum and easily enjoy the beach, the pool, and hotel services. Depending on what you’re looking for, Maspalomas and Meloneras are often the best picks for a more comfortable stay, while Playa del Inglés is a better fit if you want a livelier atmosphere. Puerto Rico and Amadores are especially appealing for sea views and that classic sunny-holiday feel, while San Agustín offers a slightly quieter setting. If you’re after a more peaceful atmosphere, our selection of adults-only hotels in Gran Canaria may also help, as can our guide to the best hotels in Gran Canaria for comparing the most appealing options.

All-inclusive hotels in Gran Canaria – Everything you need to know!

Before booking an all-inclusive hotel in Gran Canaria, the most important thing is choosing the right area, as the atmosphere, prices, and services can vary quite a bit from one area to another.

Maspalomas, Meloneras and Playa del Inglés

Maspalomas and Meloneras are often the areas to prioritize if you’re looking for a more comfortable all-inclusive stay in the south of Gran Canaria. You’ll find attractive hotels, pools, restaurants, gardens, a pleasant promenade, and easy access to the dunes. The atmosphere is generally more polished than elsewhere, with properties well suited to couples, families, and travelers who want a complete stay. To compare options in this area, you can read our dedicated guide to Maspalomas.

Playa del Inglés also has plenty of all-inclusive hotels, often convenient, lively, and well located for enjoying the beach. It’s a good choice if you want restaurants, bars, and shops close by. Hotels here can be less exclusive than in Meloneras, but they can offer an excellent balance of price, services, and location. To get a better feel for the area’s atmosphere, our guide to Playa del Inglés can help you narrow down your choice.

In these areas, we recommend checking carefully what the all-inclusive package really includes. Some resorts offer a true all-inclusive plan, while others charge extra for premium drinks, snacks, à la carte restaurants, the minibar, the spa, or parking. Also keep in mind that prices can rise quickly in high season, especially in Meloneras and around the best hotels in Maspalomas. Ideally, compare the rate, recent reviews, and included services before booking.

Puerto Rico, Amadores, San Agustín and Las Burras

Puerto Rico and Amadores are good options if you’re looking for an all-inclusive hotel with sea views, lots of sunshine, and a beach-resort vibe. Hotels are often set on the hillsides, which means you can enjoy beautiful panoramas, but it may also involve uphill walks, stairs, or using a shuttle. This area suits travelers who want to spend time by the pool, enjoy sheltered beaches, and stay fully in vacation mode. To compare accommodations and access, you can read our guide to Puerto Rico.

San Agustín and Las Burras can be a good fit for travelers who want to stay in the south while avoiding the busiest areas. The atmosphere is generally calmer than in Playa del Inglés, with easy access to beaches, restaurants, and the other resorts in the south. These are good areas if you’re looking for a restful, convenient stay that’s less centered on nightlife.

Whatever area you choose, all-inclusive is mainly worth it if you want to minimize meal planning and make the most of the hotel’s services. This type of package works well for families, couples who want to relax, and travelers who prefer to plan their budget in advance. Before confirming your booking, always check whether all-inclusive is included in the rate you selected or simply offered as an add-on. Also, the best all-inclusive hotels can be expensive in high season, especially in the most sought-after areas in the south of the island.

Conclusion

As you’ve seen, choosing an all-inclusive hotel in Gran Canaria is a great way to enjoy a simple, convenient, well-organized stay, especially if you want to keep things easy once you’re there. The best properties are in the south of the island, with very different vibes depending on the area. Maspalomas and Meloneras are better suited to travelers looking for comfort, while Playa del Inglés is a better match if you want more buzz. Puerto Rico and Amadores stand out for their sea views, while San Agustín and Las Burras are still solid alternatives for a quieter stay.

Before booking, we recommend checking exactly what the all-inclusive package covers, as inclusions can vary quite a bit from one hotel to another. Drinks, snacks, à la carte restaurants, service hours, the minibar, the spa, or parking aren’t always included in the base rate. Prices can also jump in high season, especially in the most popular areas and at the best-known resorts. One thing is sure: if you compare the location, recent reviews, and what’s actually included, you’ll be far more likely to choose a hotel that suits the way you travel.

FAQ - All-inclusive Hotels in Gran Canaria

What’s the difference between half board, all-inclusive, and premium all-inclusive in Gran Canaria?

Half board usually includes breakfast and dinner, but drinks and lunch are at your expense: it’s still convenient if you often eat out. All-inclusive generally adds lunch, drinks (often local), and some snacks, sometimes with restrictions on times or brands. “Premium all-inclusive” goes further: branded spirits, à la carte restaurants included or easier to access, a replenished minibar, better buffet quality, and sometimes services like reserved sun loungers or spa access. In all cases, always check what’s excluded.

Do you need to rent a car when booking an all-inclusive hotel in Gran Canaria?

It mostly depends on your plans and the area where you’re staying. If you’re mainly sticking to the beach, the pool, and getting around on foot (walks, shopping centers, restaurants), you can absolutely do without a car. On the other hand, to explore the island’s interior, villages, viewpoints, or to mix up the beaches, a car gives you real freedom. Here’s a simple alternative we recommend: rent one for just 1 to 3 days, or combine intercity buses with excursions. Also think about parking, which can be paid or limited depending on the area.

Are all-inclusive hotels in Gran Canaria a good option if you also want to visit the island?

Yes, it’s compatible, as long as you avoid overpaying for meals you won’t end up eating. Ideally, plan your sightseeing over 2 to 4 days and enjoy the rest of the time at the hotel. Many places offer early breakfasts, packed lunches, or late dinners, which makes excursions easier. To make the most of it, choose accommodation with good connections (nearby bus stops, quick access to main roads) and go for a flexible plan if you expect to have lunch out often.

Can you find good all-inclusive hotels in Gran Canaria near the beach without a shuttle?

Yes, it’s possible, especially in the south of the island where there are plenty of accommodation options. To be truly walkable, check the exact distance to the beach (not just “sea view”), whether there are stairs, and the elevation: some hotels are close but up on a hill. Areas like Meloneras, Maspalomas, Amadores, or San Agustín often offer direct or very short access. Also read reviews about the actual walk, and look at the satellite map: it’s the best way to avoid unpleasant surprises.

How long should you plan to enjoy an all-inclusive hotel in Gran Canaria without limiting yourself to the hotel only?

To enjoy an all-inclusive hotel in Gran Canaria while still discovering a bit of the island, ideally plan for 7 nights. That gives you 3 to 4 “resort” days (beach, pools, entertainment, rest) and 2 to 3 exploration days without rushing. With 5 nights, you can already strike a balance, but you’ll need to pick a few specific visits. Beyond 10 nights, you’ll have time to alternate at a relaxed pace: an excursion every other day, with full relaxation days in between outings.
