Iberostar Playa Gaviotas
- Baby
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
This all-inclusive sits right on the vast golden Jandia beach in the south, one of the longest and most beautiful stretches of sand in the Canaries. Family suites are generous, the kids club is included, and the beach itself is the star: shallow, calm at the water's edge and backed by dunes. It is far from the airport, but many families think the beach makes the drive worth it.
Our verdict
Worth the long drive south if a spectacular family beach is your priority. Big suites and calm shallow water make it a lovely toddler-and-up base.
The rooms
Comfortable rooms and family suites sleeping up to six, some superior suites with a semi-private garden and Balinese beds. Interconnecting options make life easier with several kids.
