Scene

Gran Canaria’s Playa del Ingles is renowned as one of the most popular gay beach destinations in the world.

Gay Resorts & Fabulous Nightlife

There are a large number of gay resorts and hotels in this area and a vibrant gay bar and cruise club scene focused around the Yumbo Centre.

The island attracts the young and not so young in equal numbers. The whole scene is generally attitude-free and welcoming to everyone.

During the daytime, many will head for the Maspalomas gay beach or enjoy exploring the sand dunes. Others may choose to stay by the pool and enjoy the service and facilities of their hotel. The nightlife starts late. Most gay bars do not get busy until 11pm, with some venues staying open until 5am or later.

There is also a gay scene in Las Palmas, the capital city of Gran Canaria, that tends to attract mostly local guys. Most bars and clubs in Playa Das Ingles will stock local gay maps that provide details of the venues in Las Palmas.

A colourful gay Pride held each year in and around Playa Del Ingles – usually in May. Gran Canaria has year-round pleasant weather although January to May are generally peak periods.
