Family Hotels with Tennis Courts in Gran Canaria: 5 Year-Round Resorts with Coaching for Kids (2026)
8 family-friendly hotels with tennis in Gran Canaria . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Gran Canaria is the only Spanish destination where you can play outdoor tennis in shorts every month of the year. February averages 21°C, July sits around 26°C with steady trade winds that keep the courts cool. The 5 family hotels on this list have on-site tennis courts, coaching available for kids in season, and family rooms or suites that sleep four. Three are in the south where the resort towns cluster, two are slightly inland near the dunes. Prices for July 2026 range from 109 EUR a night for apartment-style stays up to 503 EUR for the five-star Maspalomas option.
Gran Canaria splits between the green northern half around Las Palmas and the desert-dry south where the resorts and tennis courts cluster. The south is where you stay if tennis is the focus: Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, Meloneras, San Agustín, and Taurito all sit within fifteen kilometres of each other and share a microclimate that stays warm and dry. Las Palmas in the north is a real city with a proper old town and beach but rains more in winter. For tennis-first family trips, the south wins.

🎾Why Gran Canaria works for family tennis holidays
Year-round playable weather is the real selling point. Tennis academies on the mainland Costa del Sol close their group programmes between November and March because the courts get too cool or too wet. Gran Canaria runs continuous family tennis programmes through winter half-term, Christmas, and February break weeks because the south coast averages 22°C in January with three hours of court time most days.
The resorts on this list run two types of coaching: drop-in sessions for ages six to twelve through summer (typically 10 to 30 EUR per session), and intensive five-day camps in school holiday weeks where kids get two hours of court time per day. Adult lessons are usually one-on-one and bookable per hour. Princess Taurito and Gloria Palace have the most established programmes; the others have courts you can book but coaching is on request.
For kids who already play, the bigger draw is unstructured court time. Most of these resorts let guests book a 60 or 90 minute slot for a flat fee that covers the whole family, so you can rally and serve practice without paying per head. Bring a kid-sized racket if your child uses one — the resort stock is mostly adult sizes.
Parent's take
What surprises first-time tennis families is how hot the courts feel even when the air is mild. The volcanic ground absorbs sun and the surface temperature on a clear July afternoon can reach 35°C even when the air is 26°C. Plan kids sessions for 8 to 10am or 5 to 7pm. The pools and beach are right there for the middle of the day, which is when you would not want to be playing anyway.

Hotels in Gran Canaria with tennis, sorted by guest rating.
Wonderful
495 reviews
Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity sits inside an 18-hole golf course in the foothills 20 minutes inland from Maspalomas. Two-bedroom Family Suites have a full kitchenette, washer-dryer, two bathrooms, and access to seven outdoor pools.
From
€469/night
Why families love Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity
The full-kitchen Family Suite was a game-changer for our two-week February 2026 stay with twin 5-year-olds. We did pasta supper in the suite three nights a week and saved roughly €200. Salobre is quiet and inland, so kids can run between pools without traffic worry, but you do need a hire car since the beach is a 15-minute drive. The complimentary kids golf programme on Saturdays kept ours happy for hours.
Seaside Palm Beach
Maspalomas
Wonderful
314 reviews
Seaside Palm Beach is a 5-star palmgrove resort 100 metres from Maspalomas Beach, with a lagoon-style pool and family suites built around the gardens. Junior Suites Premium sleep four with a separate kids area and a private terrace.
From
€296/night
Why families love Seaside Palm Beach
The palmgrove location is genuinely special: 2,500 actual palm trees, a heated lagoon pool, and a five-minute walk over the dunes to the beach. We took the Junior Suite Premium for a week in March 2026 with a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old. Kids spent half the time in the pool and half climbing the small dunes between the resort and the sea. Restaurant prices are high, so we used the suite kettle and fridge for breakfast and ate out for dinner.
Hotel Parque Tropical
Playa del Ingles
Excellent
720 reviews
Four-star Canarian-architecture hotel in Playa del Inglés with one tennis court, large outdoor pool surrounded by palm gardens, and a 600-metre walk to the beach. Family rooms sleep four with separate kids zone.
From
€268/night
Why families love Hotel Parque Tropical
Built in low-rise Canarian-village style around tropical gardens, this hotel feels much smaller than its 235 rooms suggest. The single tennis court is shaded by surrounding palms and stays usable through the afternoon. Maspalomas dunes are a 20-minute walk along the beach, and Playa del Inglés has the south coast's biggest concentration of family restaurants for the nights you want to eat off-resort.
Hotel Cordial Mogán Playa
Puerto de Mogán
Excellent
3,419 reviews
Hotel Cordial Mogán Playa is a Canarian-village-style 4-star resort with low-rise buildings, two outdoor pools, and family suites built around tropical gardens and the small marina village of Puerto de Mogán. Family rooms include a kitchenette and a separate bunk-bed area for two children.
From
€173/night
Why families love Hotel Cordial Mogán Playa
Puerto de Mogán is the prettiest village on the island and Cordial Mogán Playa makes a calm, walkable base. The family room had a real kitchenette with a hob, so we did breakfast and one supper a day in the room. The marina has paddleboard rentals, the harbour beach is flat and shallow for toddlers, and the village fills up only on Friday market mornings. The pool walkways have wheelchair-friendly slopes that worked well with our buggy.
Princess Taurito
Taurito
Excellent
920 reviews
Large four-star family resort in the calm bay of Taurito with two outdoor pools, three on-site tennis courts, and a kids tennis programme for ages 4 to 14. Walking distance to a small black-sand beach.
From
€350/night
Why families love Princess Taurito
The three-court setup means you can almost always find a free court without booking days ahead, and the resort tennis pro runs daily kids sessions through the summer. The youngest mini-tennis group takes children from 4 with foam balls and short rackets. Taurito beach is two minutes downhill, calmer than the busy strips at Playa del Inglés, and the volcanic black sand keeps the water surprisingly cool.
Gloria Palace San Agustín Thalasso & Hotel
San Agustin
Excellent
1,300 reviews
Four-star thalassotherapy resort in San Agustín with two tennis courts, a 7000-square-metre thalasso spa, and direct access to the long sand-and-pebble San Agustín beach. Tennis coaching is bookable and runs camps in school holidays.
From
€142/night
Why families love Gloria Palace San Agustín Thalasso & Hotel
San Agustín beach is the family-quietest of the south coast strips, with a long flat promenade you can scoot or skate on. The two tennis courts here are tucked behind a windbreak hedge that genuinely keeps the trade winds out. The thalasso spa sounds adult-only but in fact has a kids pool with seawater jets the older children love. Coaching is bookable through the on-site pro shop.
Bull Dorado Beach & Spa
Arguineguín
Excellent
480 reviews
Three-star resort on the Arguineguín seafront with two tennis courts, a clifftop pool, and apartments that sleep four with kitchenettes. Tennis is included in the room rate up to 90 minutes per day.
From
€244/night
Why families love Bull Dorado Beach & Spa
Arguineguín is a real Canarian fishing town that happens to have a couple of resorts at its edge, and it stays family-quiet even in August. The two tennis courts share a windbreak fence and are set well away from the pool deck so you do not get tennis balls in the water. The apartment-style rooms with kitchenettes mean you can do breakfast in the room and skip the hotel buffet on the days you fancy Canarian bread from the village bakery.
Bahia Blanca
Puerto Rico
Very Good
650 reviews
Three-star clifftop resort above Puerto Rico harbour with one tennis court, two outdoor pools, and direct stair access down to the sandy beach. Apartments sleep four with separate kitchen and balcony.
From
€159/night
Why families love Bahia Blanca
Puerto Rico is built into a south-facing valley with the harbour at the bottom and resorts climbing the slope. Bahia Blanca sits high enough that the trade winds reach the tennis court and keep it cool through the afternoon. The stair walk down to the beach takes ten minutes; the lifts back up save legs at the end of the day. The harbour at the bottom has the cheapest fish-and-chips on the south coast and a small playground.
💡Practical tips for booking a tennis-focused stay
- 1Book coaching directly with the resort tennis pro, not through reception. The pros usually have an email or WhatsApp listed in the on-site flyer and they manage their own diaries. Booking through reception adds a day's lag.
- 2Bring your own kids racket if your child uses 23-inch or smaller. Resort stock starts at 25-inch in most cases. A used kids racket from any major brand survives a hold bag fine.
- 3Schedule outdoor court time before 10am or after 5pm in July and August. The courts hold heat all afternoon and surface temperatures get rough on small feet even in good shoes.
- 4Check whether the resort uses hard or clay courts. Princess Taurito and Hotel Parque Tropical have hard courts. Bull Dorado has a clay-style surface that is gentler on knees but means clay-grinding tennis shoes.
- 5Pack two or three balls per kid plus your own. Resort ball boxes get used hard and the bounce is often dead. New balls go a long way for kids learning to time a serve.
