Meloneras is the new resort in Gran Canaria and now the place to go to spend on your holidays, with lots of luxury hotels and a fine white sandy beach it begs to be different but has all that you will need on a great beach holiday.
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 start of Meloneras is at the northern end by the Faro Lighthouse from where a busy promenade runs the length of the amazing 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.
While at Meloneras you should try to get to the Casino, where not only gambling takes place but full shows and spectaculars, guaranteed to be a great night.
