Meloneras beach resort has a string of 4 and 5-star hotels. Quiet and much less crowded than Maspalomas or Playa del Ingles, Melanores enjoys a slightly more up-market quality than its neighbors.

Melanores hotels boast impressive structures surrounded by lush colorful gardens. Hotel amenities include swimming pools, souvenir shops, gyms, fitness centers, mini-golf courses, tennis and squash courts, kid’s club, spas, restaurants and bars. Many hotels also have mini-market facilities, and from essential groceries, cheese, ham, beer, chocolates and confectionaries, to cosmetics and toiletries, etc, you will find just about anything here. Mini-markets are conveniently located in the hotel areas, and are a fast and convenient method to shop. However, the products are often priced higher than those available in town, so it’s a good idea to check your options before buying from mini-markets.

The Melanores beach, or Playa Melanores, is the perfect place for seasoned sports people. There’s a wide choice of activities to choose from: windsurfing, jet-skiing, sailing, diving, and even body-boarding. There are also training programs and demonstrations available for amateurs and beginners. You may also book yourself on a cruise to the neighboring islands of the Canaries.

Deep-sea fishing in Melanores is a popular sport. There are fishing charters and small catamarans available that will take you to the middle of the ocean. With professional guidance, expect to catch blue marlins and hammerhead sharks; experiencing the excitement of that first bite on your fishing rod is an inexplicable feeling! Expect to do some deep-sea diving as well.
