Suites & Villas by Dunas
- Baby
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
Suites & Villas by Dunas is a garden village of bungalows and villas on the calm outskirts of Maspalomas, right by the dunes and the golf course. It reads as a small resort rather than a tower: palm gardens, water features and several pools, with a water park and three kids' pools among them. There is a free mini club, a playground and a games room, and the villas come with a kitchen area, which parents of babies and picky eaters will appreciate. It is quiet and green, a fifteen-minute walk or a free shuttle to the beach.
Our verdict
A calm, green villa village that shines for families with babies and toddlers who want a kitchen, lots of pools and space, and do not mind being a short shuttle from the beach.
The rooms
Villas and suites with a kitchen area (fridge, microwave, coffee maker) and a private terrace, spread through palm gardens. The self-catering setup is a real plus for babies and picky toddlers, and the single-storey feel keeps things easy.

Do the villas have a real kitchen?
They have a kitchen area with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker, enough for baby food, breakfasts and simple toddler meals.
How do we get to the beach?
It is about a fifteen-minute walk through the dunes, or you can take the free shuttle that runs a few times a day.
Is it too quiet for older kids?
It is a calm, residential-feeling resort. Younger children thrive, while teens may want the odd trip into Maspalomas or Playa del Ingles for more buzz.

Lopesan Baobab Resort
Rooms are dressed up as an African lodge, and the family rooms add a sofa bed so four sleep without anyone on the floor. Ask for a pool-view room on a lower floor if you have a toddler and a buggy, it saves the lift queue.
in Gran Canaria
Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Gran Canaria Mogan
Modern, spacious rooms, many with connecting doors, which is the easy fix for a family of four or five. Suites add real living space. Rooms feel newer and calmer than most of the south's older resorts.
in Gran Canaria
Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa
A colonial-style resort with rooms spread over huge grounds. Family rooms take four, and connecting doubles are worth asking for if you have older kids. The trade-off for all that garden is a proper walk from the far rooms to the pools.
