Ipanema Park is an apartment-style complex in Puerto Rico on the south coast of Gran Canaria — one of the Canary Islands’ most active and comprehensively developed resort areas. Puerto Rico sits in a natural horseshoe bay on the south-western coast and has grown into one of the most popular holiday destinations on the island, combining a sheltered sandy beach, a large marina packed with boat-trip and watersports operators, and an extensive infrastructure of restaurants, bars, shops and entertainment that keeps guests busy from morning to late evening. Ipanema Park offers a comfortable, independent base within this environment — apartment accommodation that gives guests the flexibility to enjoy the resort on their own terms.
The Ipanema Park complex provides apartment accommodation with kitchen or kitchenette facilities, private bathroom, air conditioning and terrace — the self-catering format that suits Gran Canaria well, given the resort’s excellent range of supermarkets, restaurants and beach bars within easy reach. Terraces at Ipanema Park take advantage of the elevated position above the resort, offering views across the bay and the Atlantic beyond — the kind of outlook that makes the evening hours particularly pleasant on the sun-warmed terrace with a drink in hand. The pool area provides on-site swimming and sun-bathing, while the beach, marina and resort facilities of Puerto Rico are a short walk or brief downhill stroll from the complex.
Puerto Rico is the largest dedicated watersports base on Gran Canaria — the marina is home to dozens of operators offering boat trips, deep-sea fishing charters, whale and dolphin watching excursions, jet ski hire, parasailing and scuba diving. The Puerto Rico beach itself is a narrow but sheltered strip of imported sand in the bay, with very calm water protected from the Atlantic swells that affect more exposed beaches — which makes it ideal for families with young children. The resort’s commercial centre has one of the best concentrations of restaurants and bars outside Playa del Inglés, covering everything from Canarian fish restaurants to international fast food chains. Puerto de Mogán — the Little Venice of Gran Canaria — is approximately 8 km west along the coast road and is an excellent destination for a half-day excursion. Maspalomas and the famous Dunas de Maspalomas sand dunes are around 20 km east.

Ipanema Park is located in Puerto Rico on the south-west coast of Gran Canaria, in the Canary Islands. The complex sits above the resort with views across Puerto Rico bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) is approximately 40 km to the north-east — around 35 minutes by road. Puerto Rico is one of the most popular resorts on Gran Canaria’s south coast, known for its marina, sheltered beach and watersports.
Puerto Rico has one of the largest concentrations of watersports operators in the Canary Islands. From the marina, guests can arrange deep-sea fishing, whale and dolphin watching boat trips, glass-bottom boat tours, jet ski hire, parasailing, scuba diving and snorkelling excursions, windsurfing, paddleboarding and sailing. The sheltered bay also makes it a popular spot for learning watersports, as conditions are calmer than the more exposed Atlantic beaches elsewhere on the island.
Yes — Puerto Rico is one of Gran Canaria’s most family-friendly resorts. The beach has very calm, sheltered water ideal for young children, the marina offers numerous family-friendly boat trips (including whale and dolphin watching), the commercial centre has a wide range of casual dining options, and the compact layout of the resort makes it easy to navigate on foot. The relatively small scale of Puerto Rico compared to Playa del Inglés also gives it a less overwhelming feel for families with younger children.
Puerto de Mogán — Gran Canaria’s most picturesque resort village, nicknamed the Little Venice of the Canaries for its canal-side streets and colourful harbour — is approximately 8 km west of Puerto Rico along the coastal road, around 15 minutes by car or bus. Many guests staying in Puerto Rico make a day trip to Puerto de Mogán, particularly for the famous Friday market and the beautiful harbour-front fish restaurants.
