Playa Grande Beach Holiday

The smell of fresh salt air and stunning coastal vistas are some things to look forward to on your Playa Grande holiday. If you're eager to save on your trip to Playa Grande, here's a tip — opt for one of our Playa Grande packages. Grab one near Grande Beach, just 3 kilometres from the town centre and a popular place to base yourself. Alternatively, pick a package that puts you closer to Ventanas Beach, another beautiful stretch of coast. Either way, you'll be left with extra dollars in your travel budget to spend.
