Amadores
A tranquil beach resort located next to the popular town of Puerto Rico, Amadores has everything you need for a laid-back holiday in Gran Canaria. Sample a plethora of cuisine along the beachfront with plenty of dining venues to choose from, or simply use the beach to relax and tan. With its calm atmosphere, it is a great location for couples or families wanting an easy-going getaway in the Canaries.
Puerto Rico's Peaceful Little Sister
Puerto Rico is so popular with holidaymakers that it’s spawned resort suburbs (rebuburbs if you will?) Amadores is Puerto Rico, without the crowds. It’s well equipped with cafes and shops but overall, it’s quiet, elegant, and peaceful. And because it’s still just minutes from Puerto Rico, you get the best of both worlds - tranquility when you want it, action when you fancy a change.
A Beach That Looks Too Good to Be Real
Amadores beach is genuinely one of Gran Canaria's most beautiful - a perfect crescent of pristine white sand meeting crystal-clear turquoise water in a combination so stunning it looks like someone's been playing with Instagram filters. The beach is sheltered, so the water stays calm, and the water's so clear you can see your feet even when you're swimming, which is surprisingly reassuring if you're not the world's most confident swimmer!
Dining That Focuses on Quality Over Quantity
The restaurant scene here is refreshingly focused on doing a few things really well rather than trying to cater to every possible taste and dietary requirement. Restaurante Amadores serves excellent fresh seafood with gorgeous bay views - their grilled fish is incredible, and the paella is definitely worth ordering if you're staying for lunch.
The beachfront chiringuito is perfect for those long, lazy lunch sessions where time becomes completely irrelevant - think fresh salads, grilled prawns, cold local beer, and that magical holiday feeling where you realize you've been sitting in the same spot for three hours and couldn't be happier about it!
Easy Access to More Action
When you do fancy a change of pace, Puerto Rico is literally just a few minutes' walk along the coastal path, offering loads more restaurants, bars, shopping, and water sports. It's like having a busy resort on your doorstep when you want it, but being able to retreat to peace and quiet whenever the mood strikes. The best of both worlds without having to compromise on either!
