Gran Canaria is known for its sand, both on its beaches and in the hills. This villa's pretty sandy too, at least in tone, and is your private oasis on the island. It's all about days in the garden here. Swim laps in the long, rectangular pool, before dining at the outside table under the sun. Sit back and work on your tan, while admiring the views of the mountains and forests on the horizon. Within the villa, modern stone walls are a wonderful feature against comfortable furnishings – lie back on the comfy sofa in front of the widescreen TV, and make the most of your stylish surroundings. After unwinding in the garden, embark on a trip to some of the myriad restaurants and shops in the area. You'll also find a nearby golf course where you can practice your swing, and a glorious sandy beach a short car journey away. Or wander across the sand dunes of Maspalomas, one of the island's landmarks.
