Anfi del Mar In real time

Anfi del Mar, the tranquil jewel of Mogán in Gran Canaria

It is one of the most photographed spots in the southwest of Gran Canaria, thanks to its white sand, calm waters, and a meticulously maintained atmosphere. This enclave of Mogán combines beach, a protected marina, and a compact leisure offering, making it easy to explore almost everything on foot.

Furthermore, the authentic Canarian touch makes a getaway here a lasting memory, perfect for a peaceful vacation within the tourism of Gran Canaria. That is why more and more travelers choose it as a base to explore the south of the island.

Where Anfi del Mar is located and why it captivates

Anfi del Mar is located in Mogán, one of the sunniest municipalities on the island, on the southwest coast of Gran Canaria. A breakwater protects the bay, so the sea tends to be calm during much of the morning, favoring crystal-clear waters and a temperate climate ideal for water activities.

This tranquility is especially valuable for those traveling with small children or looking to swim without surprises. On the other hand, the marina brings life to the shore, while gardens, promenades, and terraces reduce the need for transportation throughout the stay.

The beach of Anfi del Mar: white sand and calm waters

The main beach is wide, with clear sand and a soft bottom, with currents and waves softened by the breakwater. Thus, it is perfect for splashing around worry-free or for extending a bathing session without rushing.

It also has hammocks, umbrellas, showers, and easy access for all ages. Nearby are drink kiosks, ice cream shops, and beach bars with shade, ideal for extending the day without straying far from the sea.

Water sports for all levels

For a relaxed pace, there is snorkeling, kayaking, paddle surfing, and pedal boats with slides, a good example of the water sports in the area. Those seeking more adrenaline can try jet skiing, parasailing, banana boating, or water skiing and wakeboarding classes, while the bold can try flyboarding.

Additionally, catamaran excursions combine sailing, swimming, and snorkeling in nearby coves, some of which include Canarian lunch. It is advisable to book in advance during the high season.

Leisure, shops, and services by the sea

The small shopping center of the resort includes boutiques, supermarkets, and delicatessen shops, as well as a multilingual clinic and two well-equipped gyms. At night, the entertainment includes a children's minidisco, occasional shows, and bars with music and sports broadcasts.

The beachfront apartments have terraces, a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. In the port, you can also rent a car, motorcycle, or bicycle, or book private transportation and boat excursions.

Maroa, the heart-shaped island of Anfi del Mar

In front of the beach stands Maroa, an artificial heart-shaped island that has become the visual symbol of Anfi del Mar. It can be accessed via a footbridge leading to an area with gardens, walkways, and lounge areas.

At its edge, the Maroa Club of Mar serves creative cuisine and cocktails alongside Balinese beds, although the complex remains a pedestrian area, without motorized sports exits.

Its best moment comes at sunset: when the sun sets behind the southwestern slopes, the sea turns golden and the island becomes the most photographed spot in the bay.

Flavors of the Canary Islands and international cuisine

Canarian gastronomy is enjoyed in dishes like wrinkled potatoes with mojo, grilled fish, seafood soups, and octopus with local touches. The complex also includes restaurants offering Italian, Tex-Mex, and grill cuisine.

On the island itself, Maroa hosts two proposals: a poke and snacks space, and a club with a more elaborate menu. Those seeking more seafood variety can head to Puerto de Mogán, just a few minutes along the coast.

How to get there and practical tips

Gran Canaria airport is about 30 minutes by highway, and regional buses connect well along the southern corridor. However, a rental car is useful for going up to the peaks or visiting nearby beaches.

From May to October, clear skies and warm water prevail, although the climate remains mild even in winter. One day is enough to bathe and eat along the promenade; with more time, it is worth adding a catamaran or a trip to Puerto de Mogán.
