Providing plentiful reclining opportunities in the pueblo of Tauro, Atlantic Sands is a tranquil Gran Canaria resort offering a gentler break than some of its party loving neighbours. The island is surrounded on all sides by calm blue horizons, a fullyfledged sunseeker’s destination in possession of a multitude of activities and volcanic landscapes. Families are amply catered for here, with a slew of theme parks and beaches, as well as boat trips travelling to beauty spots a little further afield. Go swimmingly with today’s Groupon at Atlantic Sands Resort from Resorts4All. • €299 for a seven night stay for up to six Up to 75% off In a two bedroom villa with bubbly and meal vouchers The Hotel A terrace of pretty villas flanked by colourful blooms, Atlantic Sands is built around the calm expanse of shimmering water that lies at its centre. The pool lies surrounded by sun loungers and umbrellashaded tables, providing a focal point within the resort. Atlantic Sands is also served by the 18 hole Tauro golf course and holds a children’s swimming pool for more splashhappy swimmers. A desirable combination of sunny drinks and restaurant meals is served at the poolside bar for true relaxation throughout.   The Stay A two bedroom villa will welcome a group of six into its luxury confines with a bottle of sparkling wine to start. Each villa benefits from the bubbles of a private Jacuzzistyle bath, as well as upstairs and downstairs terraces overlooking the pool. Inside your temporary holiday home, flat screen TVs flank both the lounge and bedrooms, while a fully fitted kitchen invites whatever cooking or wellintentioned culinary plans suit your stay. All guests will receive 12 adult and 12 child meal vouchers, which can be exchanged for main courses and children’s meals at the bar.   Groupon Recommends Puerto de Mogán is just a short way up the coast from the Atlantic Sands Resort and is a jumpingoff point for a variety of watery adventures. Submarine trips take explorers below the ocean’s depths to discover the coastline from a wholly different perspective, while water taxis traverse the sea to the north. In the other direction, the Sioux City theme park takes its hat off to its former life as a film set for Western movies, now showing daily cowboy shows and saloon shootouts. Fans of more lively watery fun than the sedate pool will find an abundance of water parks on the island offering days filled with whirlpools and sliding.   Weather and Climate NovMay 1423°C; JunOct 1926°C Warm to hot all year round, with cooler nights from December to April and low rainfall a constant.
