Gran Canaria Airport to Playa del Inglés
Playa del Inglés is the largest and most visited resort area in Gran Canaria. With kilometres of sandy beach, hundreds of restaurants and easy access to the Maspalomas Dunes, it attracts millions of tourists each year — particularly from the UK, Germany and Scandinavia.
Getting from the airport to Playa del Inglés by public transport involves taking a bus to the main terminal and changing to a south-bound service — with luggage, this can easily take over 90 minutes. A private airport transfer with Raquel takes 45 minutes, goes directly to your hotel entrance, and costs an estimated ~€55 for the whole vehicle.
For a family of 4, that is just over €13 per person for a completely direct, comfortable, private journey. No queuing, no luggage handling at bus stops, no trying to work out which stop is yours.
Raquel speaks fluent English and knows the Playa del Inglés resort area well. She can advise on the best beaches to visit, recommended restaurants and the most efficient way to explore the south of the island during your stay.
