On the southwest coast of Gran Canaria, Playa de Amadores is one of the island’s calmest beaches. The sea is quiet and clear thanks to breakwaters that shelter the bay, ideal for swimming and unwinding. The sand is fine and golden, and the view over the bay makes this a good place for sun and stillness.
