Featured Gay Friendly Hotel in Maspalomas

Gay Maspalomas

Gran Canaria is a popular holiday destination for gays, especially Maspalomas on the south coast. The real attractions are the beach and the famous dunes of Maspalomas. Here you can also find the clothing-optional gay beach, next to beach kiosk 7. 

The main area for the gay scene is the Yumbo Center in Playa del Inglés, a leisure and shopping center with over 200 shops, restaurants and bars. At night it transforms into a hotspot for gay nightlife with numerous bars, pubs and clubs.

Annual highlights are the carnival in February or March and the Maspalomas Gay Pride in May.

Gran Canaria is by area the third largest and by population even the second largest of the Canary Islands. It is geographically closer to Africa than to the Spanish mainland. The climate of Gran Canaria is strongly influenced by the trade winds, whereby the north of the island is often cloudy, rainy and much cooler than the south, which is caressed by dry winds from the Sahara and where it therefore only rains on an average of 6 days per year.
