Staying in a country house allows you to experience a different side of the island. Not only do you gain privacy and space, but you can also slow down, connect with nature and enjoy a more relaxed pace of life. In short, it’s an ideal choice if you’re looking to experience Gran Canaria beyond the usual tourist hotspots.

Whether you prefer to stay close to the city, are travelling with your pet and looking for a pet-friendly country house, or want to enjoy a more exclusive stay in a luxury country house, there’s always an option that fits your plans. If all you need is to switch off and reconnect with nature, you’ll also find plenty of peaceful settings across the island to do just that.
Country houses with a private pool are among the most sought-after options, especially thanks to the island’s mild climate all year round. Many of these properties also feature terraces, barbecue areas and beautiful mountain views.
What’s more, if you’re truly looking to switch off, the south of Gran Canaria is always a safe bet. With reliable sunshine throughout the year, you can make the most of the pool, the warm weather and the peaceful surroundings without worrying too much about the forecast. It’s the perfect setting to relax outdoors in complete privacy.
If you’re travelling with friends or as a large family, group-friendly country houses are an excellent choice. These properties usually offer generous living spaces and shared areas designed for spending time together comfortably.
In particular, the north of Gran Canaria is one of the most popular areas for this type of stay. It’s greener, more traditional and ideal for those who enjoy nature, hiking and a quieter atmosphere. Surrounded by stunning landscapes, these homes provide a more authentic and relaxed experience.
For those who enjoy outdoor dining, country houses with a barbecue are a fantastic option. Thanks to the island’s climate, it’s easy to organise meals outside, whether it’s a long lunch or a relaxed evening with friends or family.
Many of our properties include private terraces, gardens or patios, creating the perfect setting to unwind after a day exploring the island.
Where you stay can shape your entire experience on the island. It’s not just about where you sleep, but everything around you — hiking trails, scenic viewpoints, charming villages or simply the kind of peace that’s hard to find in everyday life.
Before choosing your accommodation, it’s worth getting to know some of the most interesting rural areas in Gran Canaria and seeing which one best matches your travel style.

Staying in this area is perfect if you want to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy a truly unique setting.
Vega de San Mateo is one of the greenest parts of the island and a great choice for a weekend escape.
