San Agustin

San Agustin is situated on the south east coast of Gran Canaria and the resort directly borders to the larger Playa del Ingles.

San Agustin was the first resort to be established in Gran Canaria in the 1970s, even before Playa del Ingles and Puerto Rico. However, unlike some of the other resorts on the island, San Agustin has retained its original character and charm.

The resort is even one of the most luxuriant resorts in the southern part of Gran Canaria.

The transfer time from the airport is roughly 25 minutes by car and a little more by bus.
