What is the temperature in Gran Canaria?

Unlike other islands, Gran Canaria is the perfect destination for any time of the year because its temperatures do not usually vary. In general, they remain warm and pleasant throughout the 365 days.

In summer, the average temperature is 25ºC, while it is usually 18ºC during the winter. Therefore, it is the perfect destination to enjoy a swim in the pool at any time.

Activities to enjoy the heat

• Rent a kayak to explore the sea freely. Bring a hat and sunscreen to avoid damaging your skin.

• Take a catamaran ride with your whole family and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze on your face.

• Spend a day at a beach club and relax in an exclusive space with top amenities.

• Stay all afternoon in the private pool of your accommodation and find the calm you seek.

• Have fun in the water parks on the island. This is the ideal plan for the whole family.

How to protect yourself from the sun?

Most travellers visit Gran Canaria to escape the extreme temperatures of the mainland. That's why they choose to spend their days in the sun. But sun exposure can be harmful. That's why it's important to know how to protect yourself from UV rays.

To start, avoid direct exposure between 12 and 16. Try to stay in the shade of trees or an umbrella. You can check the UV index on your mobile phone to find out what times to avoid.

Throughout the day, even if it's cloudy, wear a hat or cap, sunglasses and protective clothing, preferably. Also, apply sunscreen every two hours, especially after sweating or swimming, and moisturiser after exposure.

Finally, don't forget to drink water and protect children under three years old.
