Salobre Golf Resort: Gran Canaria's Luxury Villa Enclave

Salobre Golf Resort is one of Gran Canaria's most exclusive resorts and a top spot for holiday villa rentals.

Centred around two 18-hole golf courses in a sunny valley just around the corner from Meloneras resort and Maspalomas beach, Salobre Golf Resort is a natural spot where peace and quiet is guaranteed. It's also home to the Sheraton Gran Canaria Salobre Golf Resort, one of Gran Canaria's smartest 5-star hotels. 

Salobre Golf Resort is perfect for golfers but isn't a hard-core golfing resort. If you don't play, the fairways, palm groves and greens just add to the view from your villa terrace. 

What's at Salobre Golf Resort

Apart from the villas, the golf courses and the Sheraton, there isn't a whole lot at El Salobre Resort. There is a supermarket and you can reserve the restaurants at the Sheraton hotel at the reception. You can also buy a day pass that gives you access to the Sheraton pools and spa.

Of course, it's the lack of buzz and crowds that makes Salobre Golf Resort so different from every other resort in Gran Canaria. This really is a tranquil, luxury enclave for people who like their holidays to be completely relaxing. 

Salobre Golf Resort Villas

To book one of the many stunning villas at Salobre Golf Resort, head to Specialodges - Villa Canary Islands; a reliable and completely secure website with a huge selection of villas and holiday homes at Salobre Golf and other villa hotspots in Gran Canaria. 

Around Salobre Golf Resort

Salobre Golf Resort is just 10 minutes drive from the coastal boulevard at Meloneras with its smart restaurants and bars, and the same distance from Maspalomas beach and dunes. For shopping, head to the El Tablero Mall just inland from Playa del Inglés; it's a small shopping centre but has a good selection of shops, bars and cafes on the roof and a large Hiperdino supermarket with plenty of fresh produce and wine. 

Getting to Salobre Golf Resort from the airport

We'd recommend that you rent a car if you plan to stay at Salobre Golf Resort as it's tucked away in its own valley and is surrounded by countryside.

Getting there is easy; all taxis know the resort and it is well signposted from the GC-1 motorway between Maspalomas and Arguineguín: Just look out for Exit 53 on your right (inland). The only possible confusion is if you leave the motorway before Playa del Inglés and follow signs for El Salobre town. 

Here's Salobre Golf Resort on Google maps and here's the driving instructions from Gran Canaria airport.

Tip of the day

  • The Parafarmacia In Gran Canaria Is Not A Chemist!
    The Parafarmacia In Gran Canaria Is Not A Chemist!

    If there is one thing we hate it is visitors being tricked in Gran Canaria. In the past we've warned about overcharging at Gran Canaria chemists, and rip off electronics shops in resorts. 

    In this Tip Of The Day we return to the island's chemists or rather, to the island's fake chemists.

    A chemist in Gran Canaria is called a Farmacia and always has a green cross sign. Farmacias are the only place tobuy medicine in Spain, even basics like paracetamol.

    However, there is another kind of shop in Gran Canaria that looks and sounds like a chemist but doesn't sell medicine. This is the Parafarmacia and it also uses a green cross sign.

    A parafarmacia is a herbal medicine shop that is not allowed to sell any normal medicine such as paracetamol, ibuprofen or antibiotics. 

    Instead, parafarmacias sell herbal alternatives to medicine but don't have to prove that they work and they can charge whatever they want.

    We recently heard from a visitor to Gran Canaria who went into a parafarmacia and was charged 40 euros for a herbal alternative to Ibuprofen. It was only when they read the label that they realised what had happened. 

    To locate a genuine farmacia, see this website and search within your municipio (Puerto Rico is in Mogán, Playa del Inglés is in San Bartolomé de Tirajana). At weekends and on fiesta days many farmacias close but there is always one open, known as the farmacia de guardia, in each municipio.

    Lex Says: To keep costs down, see this article for the way to ask for generic medicine rather than expensive branded alternatives.
