General Overview

Playa de Arinaga is a quiet and safe coastal town in the southeast of Gran Canaria (the average temperature ranges from 22 C in winter to 27 C in summer). The area, rich in marine fauna, makes it ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. As well as other water activities, or simply to sunbathe and relax on the free platforms installed on the coast or on its small beach. It also has a natural pool without waves. It has a promenade of 4 kms., ideal for walking or playing sports by the sea.  There are numerous good restaurants with prices for natives, bars, supermarkets, shops and other services open every day.

-15 min. from the airport
-20 min from great beaches such as Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, Amadores and Anfi del Mar. 
-25 min. from Las Palmas G.C. (capital)
-30 min. from Puerto Rico
-35 min. from the famous Puerto de Mogán. 
-1 hour from Roque Nublo and the center of the island. 

Arinaga is ideal for its location as a logistical base to get to know the rest of the island, no destination is more than 1 hour away by car. The ideal is to rent a car and tour the entire route. It is easy, safe and interesting to see the contrast of the south coast area with its golden beaches, the less touristy northern area with its black volcanic sand beaches and the trails in the mountains of the interior of the island, full of vegetation and breathtaking views. 

Playa de Arinaga has a mostly native population, which allows you to learn more about Canarian culture. And not to feel the burden of the overcrowding of the most touristic areas, but at the same time to have the most important beaches of Gran Canaria nearby.

The Space

It is a renovated apartment of 100 m2, with sea view from a small balcony and 20 meters from a long promenade. It has 3 bedrooms, one master with a king bed and the other two with a queen and single bed respectively. 2 bathrooms (1 en-suite with the master bedroom). A very spacious living room and a well equipped kitchen. 
The apartment has a minimalist approach. Except in the kitchen, all the furniture is open and with few drawers.  We didn't want excessive decoration. We give priority to everything that facilitates quick cleaning. Being so close to the sea, we wanted to avoid at all costs the humidity caused by the sea breeze in the closed furniture. 
If you like coffee, you will have no problem, there are 3 types of coffee maker: capsule, drip and Italian. There is also a kettle for tea. 

You will find the apartment very clean. Cleanliness is important to us, we hope to find your home the same. 

It is a very quiet building, with only 6 apartments, where you will only hear the waves of the sea. There are 2 apartments per floor. The 2 on the first floor are our property.  So no one will bother you. 

Air conditioning is not allowed in the building. No neighbor considers it necessary because generally the temperature in the area is usually pleasant. The apartment is quite cool, being very close to the sea. In summer, by opening a window or balcony at the very least, the fresh sea breeze immediately enters. We have recently installed a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. In any case, we have several standing fans in the apartment in case they are needed.

Wifi and very fast internet of 600 Mbps. 

TV with HBO MAX, Movistar (with some international channels), FIRE TV and all Spanish channels.

Guest Access

It is a first floor, and is accessed by stairs.

My parking spaces are rented. But if you rent a car, it's easy and free to park on the street. Most days, you'll park in front of the apartment.

IMPORTANT: In simultaneous or non-simultaneous exchanges in which the other exchange partner requests the payment of cleaning expenses, cleaning expenses will also be charged at our property, (ONLY in that case).

Notes

Thomas Whitmore, director of climatological research at Syracuse University (USA) carried out the only existing scientific study, which he titled the "Indices of the most pleasant climates", where Las Palmas de Gran Canaria appeared as the place with the best climate in the world. The study, published by Consumer Travel Publications, was based on the comparison of meteorological statistics (days of precipitation and water and air temperature) of more than six hundred places in the world. 
I can't guarantee you 100% good weather, but there are many chances.

Neighbourhood

Playa de Arinaga is a fashionable village among the island's population. During the week it is very quiet and with few tourists, without too much hustle and bustle, but with all restaurants, bars and supermarkets open. On the weekend you find a lot of Canarian people having a beer or eating in its many restaurants at non-tourist prices. It is a "real" town, not a place made for tourists. A few kms. you have the well-known village of Agüimes, a typical Canarian village, which still preserves many of its Canarian houses from past centuries and a very beautiful church. If you need shopping, 9 kms. You have a large shopping center with all kinds of shops.

Getting to my home

Gran Canaria airport is about 10 minutes away by car. A taxi is the most convenient way to get to the apartment and costs around €20. You can also take the airport bus, but you have to make a small transfer at Cruce de Arinaga. You can also combine bus to Cruce de Arinaga and then take a taxi which costs €6 to Playa de Arinaga, where the apartment is located.

Nearest airport

Gran Canaria airport is 10 kms.

You have direct flights to Gran Canaria from all major European and Spanish cities. The flights are not long, so you can combine your visit to Spain or mainland Europe with a few days on an island in the middle of the ocean. It is also possible to visit other Canary Islands, they are very well connected. There are even direct low-cost flights to Morocco.

Getting Around

In the village there are 7 supermarkets, the closest to the apartment is 450 meters away. and they are open every day, even on Sundays.  There are very good restaurants and also bars where you can taste some "tapas" and a beer or glass of wine while looking at the sea. 

Transport in Gran Canaria is good and cheap. Playa de Arinaga has direct buses to the south, where the large and most famous beaches are just a short drive away. To go to Las Palmas city and the north of the island, a transfer is necessary. Transfers depart every 20 minutes.

It was so much fun to meet Ángel and his family. They were great guests with good communication skills. They treated our Seattle home very well and we would be happy to have them back. I can highly recommend this family as exchange partners!

Angel, Silvia and Aylen were respectful guests in our home, kept in communication, and left our home very clean. You couldn't ask for better guests than Angel and his family. Thank you Angel for a great exchange!

Guest Feedback: ANGEL stayed with Bonnie 5 months ago

Angel was easy to communicate with, friendly, and kind. The family left our home in excellent condition and even offered to change the sheets for us as we were getting home late so that we could put our children right to bed upon our arrival. We were glad they enjoyed their stay in our home, and we would be happy to exchange with them again in the future.

Angel and his family left my place in perfect condition. Some friends went to my place before I returned myself and they confirmed to me that they found it impeccable and that it was super clean. Angel and his family are super trustworthy in every way. It's a pleasure and privilege to know them

Angel and his family were fantastic guests and would be welcome back anytime. They left the apartment spotless and the communication was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Angel and his family as guests. An absolute pleasure. Thank you Angel!

Solange and Emmanuel have been wonderful guests. Polite, kind, friendly people and easy and fluent communication who have left our apartment clean and in perfect condition. From the first contact, Solange gave me a very good feeling and then it was confirmed. Very detailed people who make themselves loved. It has been a real pleasure to host you and I would welcome you with open arms a thousand times more. They exude PLU spirit and have that class that is innate in many French people. Since we have visited France 6 times in the last 9 years, we have preferred to visit other destinations at short notice. But I hope to return the visit at some point to his house, as it looks like a magnificent property where you can relax after a day of walking around Paris. And with Solange and Emmanuel being such good guests, I have no doubt that they must be excellent hosts. Thank you for the beautiful and rich gifts, a big kiss from the three of us. Angel, Silvia and Aylén.

Encantadora pareja de comunicación fácil y fluida con los que fue sencillo intercambiar. Dejaron la casa en perfecto estado y se interesaron mucho por conocer la isla y fueron más allá de una estancia de sólo sol y playa. Un placer haberlos tenidos como socios de intercambio.

We spent a fantastic week at Allen and Malini's centrally located home in Seattle. Although we had rented a car, we decided to get to know Seattle on foot. Nothing was too far away. From the living room window and kitchen you can admire the Space Needle. We take advantage of some of Allen's advice on places to eat and interesting places to visit. We even went to some Sunday farmer's market (this by car). Allen asked me to water the garden because of the heat during the days of my stay. I did it 3 times early in the morning and as I love flowers and vegetation it was a pleasure and gave added value to my stay. A squirrel even came to visit us in the garden and I made a video call to my mom in the Canary Islands to show her the cute flowers, as she loves them. Seattle was not a city that we thought of visiting a priori, but after Allen's proposal, we said to ourselves... why not?. And it turned out to be a success, being a medium-sized city it is charming and easy to visit, with many interesting things. We also took advantage of our stay and the car to visit beautiful places such as Deception Pass State Park and Mount Rainier National Park. Allen is fluent and friendly. And Malini left us some homemade welcome cookies that we enjoyed very much. In short, a pleasant experience with all the PLU spirit.

Beautiful home provided with all the comforts, and beautiful views. Stefan's house is located about 20 min. by car from the center of Reykjavik. It is accessed from a private road only for residents, so the environment is very quiet and peaceful. We are a family of 3 and spent 7 wonderful days in Iceland. We took Stefan's house as a logistical base for our long daily days. When we went further south we decided to sleep 1 night in another location to rest and make the most of the visit the next day. Stefan and his wife were great hosts, communication was correct and fluid, and everything agreed upon was fulfilled. The house was very clean, in good condition, tastefully decorated and PERFECTLY tidy, which we appreciated very much. It's a pleasure to live in a home like this. We were left free space in drawers and coat racks in the bedrooms and also free shelves in the refrigerator. We would have liked to have enjoyed the house more, but Iceland has so much amazing nature to see that 7 days were short. All in all, home and hosts highly recommended. We look forward to your visit to Gran Canaria. Thanks for everything. Angel & family.

Our stay at Bonnie and Alex's house exceeded any expectations. The house is located in a green oasis of tranquility, where squirrels play in the backyard and birds wake you up in the morning. Just behind the house you can start several trails under the coolness of majestic trees. The house is tastefully decorated, comfortable and spacious. The artistic soul of its female owner is noticeable. Bonnie is a lovely person. She is detail-oriented, friendly, discreet and polite. It is very easy to connect with it. She is very open and understanding. Your area in North Vancouver is quiet pretty. Friendly neighbors, and veryyyyyyy friendly, actually now I think kindness is a genetic thing in the Canadian population. You have shops and services within walking distance, even on foot. And since the shuttle service in Vancouver is very good, it doesn't take too long to get to the center. We enjoyed our stay very much, both in the surroundings of the house and in downtown Vancouver, where we made a number of visits and activities that if I list them would extend this comment too much, but everything was great! It is a fantastic city, with a high quality of life, with endless things to do. Bonnie and Alex's house is very close by public transport or car to attractions such as Capilano or Grouse Mountain. Although some days we left the car at home, as we did not consider it necessary. For several days we set off on excursions to beautiful sites such as Whistler, Squamish, Porteau Cove, Shannon Falls or even whale watching from Richmond. We spent 9 days in Vancouver, and they were short. We've traveled a lot, but Vancouver and especially North Vancouver are special. A perfect place for the vital moment in which I personally find myself. By the way, Bonnie left us a welcome pack that we appreciated very much. The banana, carrot and nut cake was great (although it was a calorie bomb, lol). All in all, house and hosts highly recommended. Bonnie and Alex have left the Canadian pavilion very high! A big hug, dear new friends. Angel, Silvia & Aylén

Angel, Silvia and Aylén, you are such a wonderful family. Angel, I feel we will be friends for our lives. You are a kind, generous man and I hope to meet you again! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay at our home. It was such a great pleasure for you to stay here!

Alex and Bonnie were excellent guests. They treated my house as if it were mine and left everything in perfect condition. Kind and respectful people. Do not hesitate to exchange with them. They will leave your home as they found it.

Anne y su adorable familia han sido unos maravillosos huéspedes. Personas educadas, amigables y respetuosas que han tratado el apartamento como si fuera suyo. Sus hijos son niños muy bien educados y respetuosos. La comunicación desde el inicio siempre fue fluida y amistosa. Ha sido un intercambio exitoso que volvería a repetir en el futuro sin duda. En definitiva, personas altamente recomendables que comparten al 100% el espíritu PLU que serán siempre bienvenidas en mi hogar. Un abrazo grande, gracias por todo familia!

Natalia and Cian have been excellent guests. Super clean, polite, serious, respectful and friendly people with whom it has been very easy to exchange. Communication was fluid and friendly. They have treated the house as if it were their own and left it clean and in perfect condition. Nothing is a problem with them. Experienced travelers who share 100% of the PLU spirit. In short, very good people. And it is only fair that good things happen to good people, so do not hesitate to exchange with them, they are highly recommended. I hope that our lives cross again at some point and we have a little more time. If you ever want to return to Gran Canaria you will always be welcome. Heartfelt hug. Angel

We were lucky enough to stay in the DIXON's beautiful family home. When we arrived everything was clean and tidy. The house is very spacious and pretty. Located on a quiet street, with supermarkets and restaurants within walking distance. Nearby and frequent public transport. Taking the Express lines of the Subway we were home in a few minutes. We knew NYC, but staying in a real American home has made all the difference. This time it has been special. My daughter wanted to see snow in NYC and we were fortunate with that too, as it snowed just the day after we arrived and we had a lot of fun playing in the snow at nearby Marcus Garvey Park. We've had a great time and enjoyed NYC a lot these days, and it was great to have such a comfortable home to return to at the end of our long days around the city. Colleen is friendly and communicative and was quick to respond to our questions, which were few because everything was extremely easy in this exchange. Many thanks to the Dixon family for giving us the possibility to live this beautiful experience. Angel, Silvia & Aylén.

Excellent exchange partner who has left the apartment in perfect condition and treated our property as if it were their own. Polite, friendly, friendly and communicative person. Also with the advantage of having a lot of experience in the exchange, so everything works easily with him. More than an exchange partner, he has become a friend of the family. Everything has been perfect with Padraig. It is highly recommended.

Guest Feedback: Padraig stayed with ANGEL 1 year ago

Located in the Parisian commune of Courbevoie, in a modern building is the magnificent apartment of Padraig. We arrived on Christmas Day, and Padraig had left us food to start with and also indicated a good business nearby where we could provide us with delicious French food in case we wanted to have dinner at home that night. He had also left the heating on so that we would feel comfortable when we arrived. It is a nice one-bedroom apartment with a small balcony that gives access to the view of a main street full of businesses of all kinds: small and large supermarkets, wineries, cheese shops, good and elegant restaurants and even famous fast food franchises just around the corner, plus about 10 min. walk you have a huge shopping center. Despite how busy its street is, there is no noise thanks to the double glazing of its windows, in addition the building is very quiet and with pleasant and discreet neighbors. The apartment is perfect for two people, but also for two couples or a small family thanks to its new and spacious sofa bed, which according to my daughter is very comfortable. By the way, from a corner on Carrer de Padraig you can see the Eiffel Tower day and night :) The apartment was very clean and tidy. The kitchen is fully equipped and it is amazing how Padraig has taken advantage of every corner and how well placed everything is. He also freed up a closet from his bedroom, which was very kind and helpful. You can tell that Padraig is an experienced exchanger, and we have benefited from this with useful recommendations. By the way, the bedroom mattress is very comfortable, I have slept perfectly. On the other hand, its location is great in Paris, it combines the comfort of a modern area, the tranquility of an area not crowded with tourists, the interest of living like a local and the proximity to the means of transport and the main tourist attractions of the city of light. Even at Christmas within walking distance you have the biggest Christmas market in Paris, which we enjoyed a couple of nights, even my daughter skated on a natural ice rink 10 min. from the apartment (it's a very exciting thing to do that for a girl born under the sun of the Canary Islands). Communication with Padraig was fluid from the beginning, I quickly understood that I had reached an agreement with a good and serious person and that made everything easier. Before, during and after the exchange he worried that everything went well and really everything has been perfect. Padraig is a generous and friendly person, he makes you want to go beyond a simple exchange, transforming it into a new friendship. It was our third time in Paris, but as we already knew the city quite well, two weeks have given us the time to calmly enjoy everything, even to stay longer in bed when we felt like :), but also to get to know the less touristy Paris. Long walks around the city, museums, monuments, Disney, nice shops and galleries, cafes, delicious meals with a long after-dinner conversation since we were not in a hurry. For me specifically, it has been the best of my three stays in Paris. By the way, Padraig left our apartment in perfect condition. Apartment and host highly recommended, do not hesitate.

You were the prefect guests and the perfect hosts. It was a great privilege to be able to stay in your lovely place in the Canary Islands.

Cozy apartment, well located in the south of the island. Renovated and decorated with very good taste, very clean and with magnificent views. We knew the island, so we took the opportunity to go to the beach, walk and eat in the restaurants in the area. These days helped us disconnect and get out of the routine. Simply thank Alexandra and her partner for giving us the opportunity to enjoy their apartment as a family. We loved it!.

Home Feedback: ANGEL stayed with Alexandra 1 year ago

Thanks Angel! We had an amazing time at your place too and it was lovely to meet you! Thank you for leaving our apartment so perfectly.

From the first contact everything was easy with Alexandra. In fact, we agreed on the exchange in just one day, it was that easy! Friendly, communicative, polite, respectful people with similar thoughts in many aspects. A charm of people. As for our home, we have no complaints. They treated it as if it were theirs, they left everything in perfect condition. Do not hesitate to exchange with them, they are very serious people. I'm glad they were our first exchange at PLU, because it couldn't have been better. We will never forget that it was the first home we were in as an exchange. Everything was perfect. A strong hug.
