Gran Canaria gay guide

This is the guide for Playa des Ingles / Maspalomas on Gran Canaria by Nighttours. This island in the Atlantic Ocean is very popular with European gay tourists for its sunny climate, espeically during our cold winters. Gran Canaria has beautiful gay beaches and a vibrant and concentrated gay nightlife.

The main gay beach can be found between Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles. Here is where the boys (and slightly older gentlemen) lay down in the sun, hand around at the bar or swim in the ocean. Also check out the Maspalomas dunes, a huge gay cruising area behind the gay beach.

Gran Canaria offers many different gay bars, most of them situated at Yumbo Commercial Center. In day time, Yumbo Center is nothing more than a tourist trap, offering cheap souvenirs, clothing and other stuff you don't need to old people from Germany and Scandinavia, too old to bake in the sun all day. But at night, Yumbo transfers into the center of gay nightlife! Bars include Hummel Hummel, Mykonons, Ricky's, Wunderbar.

Where to stay?

Make sure you book a hotel or apartment early. Best as close to the gay area (Playa Ingles, Yumbo) as possible. Please support our website and book your hotel here!

Hotels and accommodation

Gran Canaria is a popular gay and lesbian destination due to the endless sun in cold European winters. The gay beach and Maspalomas dunes are the main attractions in day time. At night, the bars and clubs in the Yumbo Center in Playa del Ingles will entertain you till deep in the morning. Everything is centrally located, so make sure you book a (gay exclusive) bungalow or hotel near the Yumbo Center and the beach.
