Self-catering rentals in Gran Canaria are one of the best ways to enjoy the island. Having the freedom of your own personal accommodation, will allow you to explore the island in your own time.
Although there is other accommodation on the island, renting a villa with pool or an apartment, could be a better idea. Holiday lettings in Gran Canaria give you more flexibility and you can set your own pace. Having to stick to breakfast and dinner times is probably the last thing you want to do on your holiday. Relaxing in the morning over a leisurely breakfast watching the sun come up, will really make it feel like you are getting away from it all.
The standard of villas in Gran Canaria is high, and at the same time, it is varied. You can stay in anything from rural farm houses to luxury apartments in Las Palmas.

Many beaches have a shady square for wheelchair users to rest. The airport is well laid out for wheelchair users, and in general, most of the towns are okay if you use wheels.
