Property for sale in south Gran Canaria

Puerto Rico, Mogán, Maspalomas and the south coast.

Buying in south Gran Canaria

The south of Gran Canaria has the island's most dependable weather and most of its beaches. In the municipality of Mogán, Puerto Rico and Amadores sit in sheltered bays with apartments climbing the hillsides, Arguineguín keeps the feel of a fishing port, and Puerto de Mogán is known for its small harbour and canals. In San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Maspalomas has its dunes and lighthouse, Meloneras its seafront promenade and newer homes, and Playa del Inglés and San Agustín the longest-established resort areas.

Gran Canaria airport is on the east coast, a drive along the motorway from all of these areas. When you compare homes, ask about the community of owners and its rules, and about holiday rental if you plan to let the property: it depends on the building, the municipality and Canary Islands rules that have recently become stricter.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent out a home in south Gran Canaria to holidaymakers?

Only if the property can get the holiday rental registration it needs. That depends on Canary Islands rules, which have recently become stricter, on the municipality and on the rules of the community of owners. Ask us to check a specific home before you make an offer.

Puerto Rico or Maspalomas: which suits me?

Puerto Rico and the Mogán coast are bays and hillsides with sea views and a quieter feel. Maspalomas and Meloneras are flatter, with the dunes, the promenade and more services within walking distance. Tell us how you plan to use the home and we will show you both.

Which taxes do I pay when buying in south Gran Canaria?

On a resale home, the property transfer tax (ITP) of the Canary Islands; on a new build, the Canary Islands indirect tax (IGIC) plus stamp duty. The rates are published by the Agencia Tributaria Canaria. Our buying guide explains the other costs.

Will I deal with someone who speaks English?

Yes. An English-speaking agent from our Gran Canaria office looks after your search, the viewings and every step up to the notary.
