Included excursions
Beach and cliff of Juncal (walking: 4 miles)
1 / 5
This half day circular walk from the hotel starts on Playa de la Caleta, then crosses a small ravine to begin our ascent into the foothills of Moriscas Mountain. As we get higher, we’ll stop to admire the spectacular cliffs and ravines - some peppered with prehistoric cave dwellings and temples - before we arrive at Roque viewpoint for 360o views. From here we follow a horseshoe shaped trail down to Joncal beach where (conditions allowing) there’s time for a swim. Afterwards, we’ll take a winding path back through the countryside, observing rural Canarian life and traditions along the way, before tracing the lip of the ravine back to our starting point on the beach.
Camino de Santiago (walking: 6 miles)
1 / 5
This full day walk follows one of the historic camino reales right through the heart of Gran Canaria. Starting amidst the tall pine trees of Llanos de la Pez, we’ll follow sandy tracks through the shady coniferous forest until we reach the Ventana del Nublu viewpoint. Here, we’ll stop for photographs and views of Roque Nublo, the 65-metre-tall volcanic rock which has become one of Gran Canaria’s most distinct and famous landmarks, before walking back to Llanos de la Pez.
Caldera de Bandama (walking: 5 miles)
1 / 5
We’ll learn more about the volcanic and geological wonders that have shaped Gran Canaria on today’s full day walk around the extraordinary Caldera de Bandama. This circular volcanic crater (one of the largest on Gran Canaria) is 200m deep and 1km across and our walk around the rim gives us spectacular views across the crater and to the mountains and coast beyond. As well as the views, we’ll admire the caldera’s prolific flora and vegetation including tall stems of colourful tajinaste and beautiful eucalyptus trees.
Tabaibal de la Punta
1 / 5
The Tabaibal de la Punta trail in La Aldea, Gran Canaria, is a breathtaking hiking route. This full day walk starts in the El Almacén area, it ascends past the old El Muelle quarry, leading into one of the island’s best-preserved coastal landscapes. Along the way, you'll encounter unique ecosystems with rare plants and fascinating wildlife thriving in the arid terrain. The trail offers stunning views of the Andén Verde cliffs and sweeping coastal panoramas. A moderate hike, it promises a rewarding adventure through some of Gran Canaria’s most remarkable natural scenery.
Pico de las Nieves (walking: 6 miles)
1 / 5
This full day hike from Caldera de los Marteles to Pico de las Nieves offers a scenic route through Gran Canaria’s varied landscapes. Beginning at the volcanic crater of Caldera de los Marteles, the trail passes through pine forests and open terrain, providing peaceful surroundings and changing views.

Covering around 10 kilometers with a mix of moderate and challenging sections.
Location
Unspoilt Agaete’s whitewashed buildings cling to a volcanic rock hillside, which gives way to lush green interiors and deep ravines.

The nearest bus stop from the hotel is 500 yards away. The drive to/from the airport takes approximately 50 minutes.
