GPS Coordinates: Latitude 27°46'13.97"N Longitude 15°32'33.77"W

Meliá Tamarindos Hotel rises above subtropical gardens peeking over the beautiful and calm San Agustín beach, the first of the south-east coast beaches on the island of Gran Canaria.

This hotel is located within easy reach of the airport, just down the GC-1, a short 30 Km drive away. Its seafront location grants hotel guests with direct access to the beach. It is far less sought out by tourists than most other beaches, allowing it to be a quieter place to lay down your towel and relax. This tranquil atmosphere is felt everywhere and it’s common to see people practising Tai-chi and Yoga. This is the perfect beach to practise some snorkelling and do some swimming; its calm currents and small waves allow for transparent blue waters.

Golf-lovers will surely be glad to know that in a 35 km radius, 5 different golf courses can be found, making this the ideal resort for those looking for a sportive holiday.

The surrounding area offers plenty of places to eat and drink. Just 500 metres away are the fabulous shopping facilities of San Agustín, with wonderful boutiques. What is certainly most special about San Agustín is its seaside restaurants, offering delicious seafood gastronomy.
