The Anfi Group and the town council of Mogan have won an appeal which gives the green light for the continuing development of the Anfi Tauro Golf and Luxury Resorts project.

The judgement which was handed down from the Supreme Administrative Court confirms the feasibility of the whole project, allowing the 7500-bed tourism development to go ahead without interruption.

The resort, which is targeted at the high-end European tourist market, already boasts a luxury hotel, a selection of freehold bungalows and villas, a 9-hole pitch and putt course and an 18-hole championship course and an international golf academy.

With a planned investment of 400 million Euros, Anfi Tauro Golf & Luxury Resorts will be one of the most important tourist developments in the Canary Islands, creating substantial wealth for the island of Gran Canaria as well as being instrumental in the regeneration of the local economy.

Creating around 1000 jobs, the finished resort will consist of another twelve hotels, two artificial beaches, a 500-berth leisure harbour, a shopping centre and a clinic for respiratory diseases.

Since its inauguration over twenty years ago, the Anfi Group’s first resort, Anfi del Mar, has been considered as a European market leader within the vacation membership industry and has over 33,000 member families from more than fifteen countries and a staff of almost 900.

Holidaying exclusively in self-catering units, Anfi’s clients are generally more affluent than package tour holiday-makers, and typically create more wealth for the local economy by spending more money on taxis, local restaurants, excursions, golf and other sporting activities as well as taking more time to explore their surroundings.

In response to the court’s verdict, a spokesman from the Anfi Group said, “These are the first seeds of a tree that will drive the development of the area and will become of the most important tourist resorts in Europe”.
