FAQs
Puerto de Mogán is often called “Little Venice” for good reason! Colourful houses, little bridges, a lovely marina and a sheltered beach make it perfect for a relaxed family stay. It’s scenic but still super practical with kids.
January tends to be the coolest, but even then you’re looking at daytime temps around 20°C – definitely still t-shirt weather compared to the UK! Just bring a layer for the evenings as it can get a little cooler once the sun goes down.
We love May, June, or September – it’s warm and sunny, but quieter and often more affordable than the peak summer months. That said, Gran Canaria is a year-round destination, so it depends on your plans. Winter sun in December or January? Absolutely doable!
For sunshine, family-friendly vibes, and easy access to beaches and days out, the southern coast is your best bet. Whether you go for lively Playa del Inglés, chilled Amadores, or charming Puerto de Mogán, you’ll find something to suit your style (and budget).
It’s usually around 4 to 4.5 hours from the UK, making it a great option if you want proper sunshine without a long-haul flight. Just enough time for a few snacks, a bit of CBeebies or Netflix, and maybe a snooze before you touch down in the sun!

What do you think of the new hair?! Should I stick to being a scraggy mess? 🙃😅
If my mum could see this she’d laugh, and be glad I’ve sorted my hair out ❤️
