The sun tickles your forehead as you stroll from the desert beach to the pool bar for a round of cervezas...

5 nights all-inclusive on the spicy island of Gran Canaria for £797pp. January looks good on you, chicos.

Gran Canaria, eh?

A tale of two halves…

This is the Canary Island where black lava and white sand beaches live side-by-side with miles of sand dunes and lush mountains.

Confused? Gran Canaria will do that to a person.

Where will I sleep?

TUI BLUE Tres Vidas is perched on the side of a palm-smothered hill overlooking the Atlantic - just a few minutes stroll from the powdery sands of Bahia Feliz Beach.

You’ll be staying in your own two-bed apartment kitted out with a kitchen and sea view balcony. You get the privacy of your own pad but still get all the perks of a resort… jackpot.

Just pop next door to the sister resort, TUI BLUE Orquídea, for a dose of yoga, fitness classes, maybe a tennis match, and even some beach volleyball action.

Check out the hotel restaurants El Sultán for Canarian bites, Taverna Restaurant for seafront tapas, and don't forget the poolside Snackbar Fata Morgana for your nightly dose of entertainment. Sloth it out at one of the massive pools or at the steamy spa.

What will I do?

You’re just a 15-minute drive away from the Reserva Natural Especial de Las Dunas Maspalomas. That means a 998-acre coastal nature reserve that looks like something out of Dune. Don’t worry, no massive worms are coming for you.

When you're in town, make a beeline for Rustico Restaurant for some authentic Canarian eats. This laid-back little spot does around 20 tapas with specials added each week. Work off your tapas marathon with a dip in the nearby in the nearby Playa de Maspalomas waters - a dreamy beach with a rolling network of dunes. Tipsy Hammock bar is where it’s at for beach shack vibes and rainbow cocktails stuffed full of fruit.

Don’t forget you’ve got the Playa Bahia Feliz beach back at the hotel, Go Karting 30-minutes walk away, and an airsoft games field where you can live out your Call of Duty dreams, complete with laser tag and epic military-themed group shooting games.
