Gran Canaria Puerto Mogan Guide: Holidays in Puerto de Mogán
Resort · Canary Islands · Gran Canaria · Spain
Planning a Gran Canaria Puerto Mogan holiday means choosing a small resort where the beach sits right on the doorstep. Playa de Mogán is in the resort itself, and the archaeological site of Cañada de los Gatos is close by. Two quieter beaches, Playa de Tiritaña and Playa de Cura, lie within about 2.5 miles. The climate is the real draw for British travellers. The nearest weather station, at Maspalomas, records daytime highs of 23°C in midwinter and barely any rain from spring to autumn. That makes Puerto de Mogán a year-round option, whether you want winter sun in January or a long summer fortnight.

What kind of place this is
Puerto de Mogán is a resort on Gran Canaria, built around its own beach, Playa de Mogán. It is a compact base rather than a sprawling strip. Most of what you will want to see is within walking distance or a short drive.
The area mixes beach time with a little history. Cañada de los Gatos, an archaeological site in the municipality of Mogán, sits right by the resort. Punta del Castillete Lighthouse stands about half a mile away. Together they give a gentle reason to leave the sunlounger for an hour or two.
Beaches and sights nearby
Playa de Mogán is the resort's own beach and the natural centre of most days. If you fancy a change of scene, Playa de Tiritaña is about 2 miles away. Playa de Cura is roughly 2.5 miles off and easy to combine with a drive along the coast.
For something beyond the sand, Cañada de los Gatos is the archaeological site on the resort's edge. Punta del Castillete Lighthouse, just over half a mile away, makes a short outing with sea views. Neither needs a full day, so both fit neatly around beach time.
When to book
The weather here is warm all year. Readings from Maspalomas, the nearest station, show highs of 23°C from December to February and lows that rarely drop below 15°C. Spring warms to 25 to 26°C. March is the wettest month by volume, at 33mm, and even then you can expect only around four rainy days.
July and August are completely dry. They are also hot, with highs of 31°C and 33°C, which is why August falls outside the most comfortable months. September to November stays at 27 to 28°C, with November bringing the most rainy days, at around five. For most British travellers, any month except August works well. Winter is the classic escape from grey weather at home, and UK school holidays push demand up in the usual way.
Booking your package
Most British travellers book Puerto de Mogán as a package holiday, with flights, hotel and transfers in a single booking. You can compare deals from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach on this page. Check the board basis before you choose, as self-catering, half board and all inclusive suit very different holidays. Prices move with school-holiday dates, so flexibility on timing tends to help.
If you would rather arrange things yourself, you can check hotel prices separately here. You can also compare car hire, which is handy for reaching Playa de Cura or Playa de Tiritaña. Tours and tickets are listed too, so you can plan a few days out alongside your beach time.
