Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel

The Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel occupies a prime beachfront position in Puerto de Mogán — the most picturesque and sought-after resort village on Gran Canaria’s south-west coast. Puerto de Mogán is consistently regarded as the finest resort in the Canary Islands: a genuine fishing village that has evolved into a beautifully planned holiday destination, with its distinctive network of canal-side streets, flower-draped bridges, whitewashed buildings and a sheltered harbour filled with sailing boats and pleasure craft. The resort’s beach — a calm, golden-sand bay protected from the Atlantic swell — is one of the best in Gran Canaria. The Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel places guests in the heart of all of this, combining the amenities of a large resort hotel with the charm of one of the most photogenic settings in the Canary Islands.

Rooms and Facilities

The Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel is a large resort property offering a wide range of room types — from standard rooms and suites to bungalow-style accommodation set within landscaped gardens — all with air conditioning, private bathroom and terrace or balcony. The resort’s facilities are extensive: multiple swimming pools including a large lagoon-style pool, sun terraces, restaurants serving international and Canarian cuisine, bars, a spa and wellness centre, fitness facilities and a range of activities and entertainment. The beach directly in front of the hotel is sheltered and sandy, with calm water suited to families and those seeking gentle swimming conditions. The hotel’s bungalow-format accommodation areas give the property a spacious, village-like feel that contrasts with the more typical tower-block format of many Canarian beach hotels.

Puerto de Mogán and the South-West Coast

Puerto de Mogán — often nicknamed the Little Venice of Gran Canaria — has a character that stands apart from the larger resort areas of Playa del Inglés and Puerto Rico further along the coast. The harbour area is beautifully preserved and makes for excellent evening strolling: fish restaurants line the waterfront, the Friday market is a major social event drawing visitors from across the island, and the gentle pace of the village contrasts with the livelier atmosphere of the more developed resorts. Puerto Rico (approximately 8 km east) has a wider range of water sports, boat hire and excursion operators, and Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas — with the famous sand dunes — are around 30 km along the coast. The Dunas de Maspalomas natural reserve, one of the most extraordinary landscapes in the Canaries, is an easy day trip.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel

Where is the Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel?

The Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel is located in Puerto de Mogán on the south-west coast of Gran Canaria, directly beside the resort’s famous harbour and beach. Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) is approximately 55 km away — around 45 minutes by road along the southern motorway. Puerto de Mogán is the most south-westerly of Gran Canaria’s main resort areas and is widely regarded as the most beautiful village on the island.

Why is Puerto de Mogán called the Little Venice of Gran Canaria?

Puerto de Mogán earned its nickname from its distinctive network of canal-side streets and flower-draped bridges connecting the marina and harbour areas — an architectural style that evokes the canal towns of southern Europe. The colourful bougainvillea, whitewashed walls and the gentle sound of water from the small canals create an atmosphere quite unlike any other resort in the Canary Islands, and the village has become one of the most photographed spots on Gran Canaria.

What is the beach like at Puerto de Mogán?

Puerto de Mogán beach is a sheltered, south-facing bay of golden sand — one of the finest beaches on Gran Canaria’s south-west coast. The natural protection of the headlands on either side of the bay means sea conditions are generally calm and safe for swimming, making it an excellent choice for families and those who prefer gentler water. The beach is well-maintained, has good facilities, and the harbour backdrop makes it one of the most scenically attractive beaches in the Canary Islands.

How far is the Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel from Maspalomas?

Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés — the largest resort area on Gran Canaria’s south coast and home to the iconic Dunas de Maspalomas sand dunes — are approximately 30 km east of Puerto de Mogán along the coastal road, around 30 minutes by car or bus. The dunes are a UNESCO-recognised biosphere reserve and one of the most spectacular natural landscapes in the Canary Islands — easily visited as a half-day trip from the Cordial Mogan Playa Hotel.
