Maspalomas Dunes

Mixed Ages, Cruising

The Maspalomas Dunes are sand dunes located on the south coast of the island of Gran Canaria. There is no particular focal point for cruising, but you'll find many people sunbathing and waiting in the bushy areas. Get there by entering the dunes using the path next to the Riu Palace in Playa del Ingles, then just follow the trail of guys along to the gay beach. Cruising anytime between sunrise and sunset - be careful not to get stuck there after dark. The dunes are a 404-hectare (1,000-acre) area of the municipality of San Bartolome de Tirajana and they have been protected as a nature reserve since 1987. They were formed by sand from the bottom of the ocean, during the last ice age, when the wind blew the sand towards the coast of the island. With all this history in mind, please help to protect the dunes for future generations of the LGBTQ+ community by treating the area with respect, only entering permitted areas and taking all litter away with you

Recommended gay friendly hotels in Gran Canaria

You'll find an unparalleled choice of accommodation in Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas with the resorts being pretty much universally gay friendly. There are many gay only resorts to choose from as well, offering a range of accommodation options and standards. Playa del Ingles is the second largest tourist resort in the whole of Spain (after Benidorm) and is dominated by 1970's era hotels and multiple bungalow complexes, but many have been totally refurbished and brought up to date. Especially in Maspalomas, the accommodation tends to be bungalow style, which give you more space, but are a little further from the action in the Yumbo. The Meloneras area of Maspalomas is home to a number of modern 4 and 5 star hotels, if you want to treat yourself.
