Meloneras Weather in February
February in Meloneras offers a compelling combination: access to the world-famous Maspalomas Carnival — just minutes away — with the ability to retreat to one of the quietest and most refined beaches on the south coast. With 20°C days, 7 hours of sunshine, and minimal rain, the resort delivers genuine winter warmth with a luxury character that the bigger resorts cannot match. The Carnival that defines February across the south of Gran Canaria is a short walk or taxi ride from Meloneras. But the resort itself remains calm — the Drag Queen Gala, the parades, and the Yumbo Centre events are within easy reach without being on your doorstep. It is a rare position: culturally connected but residentially serene.

Climate Detail
February sunshine averages 7 hours per day — consistent and strong enough for genuine winter tanning. The UV index rises slightly to 5, and rainfall drops from January's modest 20mm to around 15mm across 2 days. February winds are slightly stronger than January — the Atlantic trade winds begin to reassert themselves — but the Meloneras promenade, sheltered by the resort's building line, remains comfortable. Sea temperature remains at 19°C — its winter minimum. The Playa de Meloneras beach faces almost due south, giving it maximum winter sun exposure and relatively calm conditions even when winds are moderate along more exposed stretches.
What to Do in February
Maspalomas Carnival
The headline event of February — the Drag Queen Gala, the Cabalgata Anunciadora, and the beach celebrations at Playa del Inglés — are all easily accessible from Meloneras by a short taxi or a 20-minute walk. Experience the spectacle and return to tranquillity.
Fine dining and promenade evenings
February evenings on the Meloneras paseo are warm and uncrowded. The resort's restaurants — several of hotel-group quality — are at their best in winter, when reservation pressure is low.
Playa de Meloneras beach mornings
The beach in February benefits from low-angle winter sun and almost no other visitors. Morning swimming is bracing but the sheltered aspect makes it manageable.
Casino Gran Canaria
The Casino is in full operation throughout February. With longer evenings and cooler nights than summer, it draws more use in winter.
Cycling the south coast path
The coastal cycle path running west from Meloneras toward Puerto Rico and east toward San Agustín is excellent in February — warm, calm in the mornings, and with outstanding Atlantic views.
