Holidays to Mogán, Gran Canaria: Puerto de Mogán guide

Puerto de Mogán works well for travellers who want a compact base where the beach is part of the resort rather than a drive away. Playa de Mogán is on the doorstep, which makes it straightforward for families with young children who would rather not pack the car for every swim, and for couples who simply want sunshine and a short walk to the sea.

It also suits those who like a gentle wander between beaches and sights. Playa de Tiritaña lies about 2 miles away, Playa de Cura about 2.5 miles, and the Cañada de los Gatos archaeological site sits close to the resort, giving a bit of history alongside the sunbathing. For winter sun seekers escaping a British January or February, the mild temperatures are a large part of the appeal of Puerto Mogán, Gran Canaria holidays.

The resort's own beach, Playa de Mogán, is the natural centre of a stay here. Within about 2 miles you reach Playa de Tiritaña, and Playa de Cura is roughly 2.5 miles off, so a fortnight gives you time to try more than one stretch of sand.

For a walk with a destination, Punta del Castillete Lighthouse is about half a mile from the resort. Cañada de los Gatos, an archaeological site in the municipality of Mogán, is right beside the resort and makes a worthwhile short outing between beach days. If you want to range further across the island, car hire can be compared on this page too.

The climate figures from Maspalomas show why holidays in Mogán, Gran Canaria, sell year round. Winter highs sit around 23°C from December to February, climbing to 25 to 26°C between March and June. July reaches about 31°C and August about 33°C, with no recorded rain in either month. Autumn stays warm, with 27 to 28°C in September to November.

Rain is light throughout: the wettest months are March, at around 33mm, and November, at around 29mm and five rain days. The recommended months cover every month except August, when the heat peaks; if you dislike high temperatures, spring or autumn is the gentler choice. As across the UK market, package prices generally rise during school holidays, so families tied to term dates tend to book earlier, while those free to travel outside them have more room to compare.

A package holiday bundles your return flight, your hotel and the transfer between the island's airport and your accommodation. When sold together as a package, it is ATOL-protected, which is why so many British travellers prefer to book Puerto de Mogán this way rather than arranging each part separately.

The deals shown on this page list the UK departure airports, flight times and transfer details for each option, so you can check which regional airport near you has a direct flight and how long the journey to the resort will take before you commit.

On this page you can compare live package holidays to Puerto Mogán, Gran Canaria, from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach side by side. Look closely at the board basis each deal offers, whether room only, half board or all inclusive, as this changes what a holiday really costs once you are there.

If you prefer to arrange things yourself, you can also check hotel prices, see tours and tickets for days out, and compare car hire for exploring beyond the resort's beaches.
