Maspalomas is famous for its beautiful, sweeping sand dunes moulded by winds carrying Saharan sands across the sea from North Africa. The dunescapes are peaceful expanses and are particularly attractive at sunset.

Maspalomas is much quieter than its vibrant neighbour, Playa del Inglés, 2 kilometres away and has a myriad of low-rise, whitewashed buildings.  Around the area known as Oasis Maspalomas lie the large, luxury hotels, which extend along the promenade as far as Playa de Meloneras, an exclusive developing area with a 5-star hotel.

Regular buses run between Playa del Ingles and Oasis Maspalomas as well as various other points along the coast including Puerto Rico, Puerto de Mogan and Las Palmas. There are numerous, cheap metered taxis and hire cars are readily available.

The beach
Maspalomas beach is a gently sloping beach of fine golden sand that runs unbroken from Faro to Playa del Ingles. It is backed by a magnificent expanse of Sahara-like dunes that extend 1km inland.

Eating out
Oasis Maspalomas has a variety of cafes and restaurants serving both local Spanish food as well as international cuisine. If you want to try some authentic Canarian fare, the word 'tipico' suggests that the restaurant serves local dishes.

Shopping
Oasis Maspalomas has a variety of local shops and small boutiques, although the shopping centres around neighbouring Playa del Ingles offer a more comprehensive shopping experience. Alternatively, head up to the island's capital, Las Palmas, which is renowned for its excellent shopping malls and traditional stores.

Buses
Our reception staff can give times and sell tickets for the buses which stop outside Club Vista Verde and go to Maspalomas beach and Playa del Ingles.
