If there ever was a home fit for Gran Canaria living, it's this one. With swaying palm trees in the garden and mountain views, it's hard not to feel utterly relaxed here. The dazzling private pool is the gem in this villa's crown – swim a few laps in the late-morning sun before taking a break on one of the lounge chairs, cocktails in hand. Feeling peckish? Fire up the outdoor grill and head to the spacious patio for an alfresco meal – it's perfect for both sunset dining and lolling about. The laid-back vibe continues inside, thanks to the light and breezy living space that keeps you cool from the endless sunshine. With printed cushions, sea-themed artwork and quirky wallpaper, the design blends cheery coastal with a contemporary touch – not to mention the sheer amount of space on offer, which is more than suitable for a small group. Sink into the cushy sofas in front of the widescreen TV for a mid-day movie marathon, or sprawl out on the comfortable beds for an afternoon siesta. Situated in the centre of a golf resort, it's an ideal home for those keen to hit the green. Beach babies are taken care of, too – Maspalomas' magnificent, sprawling sand dunes are a sixteen-minute drive – while restaurants, shops and bars nearby are sure to keep you entertained at all times.
