Na Und Bar

In the heart of the main Maspalomas gay beach in Gran Canaria, Kiosko Beach No.7 serves drinks and light snacks throughout the day. There are sun loungers and umbrellas for hire, all with the beautiful Atlantic Ocean in view. An all new, larger kiosk has been installed, giving more space for the thirsty beachgoers. To get here, there are two options; head to the Riu Palace hotel in Playa del Ingles and then walk across the dunes in about 30 minutes, or walk along the shore from the Faro de Maspalomas (lighthouse).

Cruise Bar opened in 1994, becoming the first bear and leather venue in the Canary Islands. It is located on the second floor of the Yumbo Centre and features a large, popular outside terrace and a much more cruisy inside bar. There is an infinity of corridors, slings, a porn video room, labyrinths, ***s and two dark rooms where you can freely unleash your imagination and personal curiosity. An ideal place to meet and make friends, have drinks, listen to good music and flirt. Lockers are provided to store your valuables if yo head into the darkrooms.

The main bear bar in the Yumbo Centre, Bärenhöhle can be found on the ground floor on the plaza, next door to the large Chins Town Restaurant. A smaller bar with a cosy outdoor terrace, with a huge number of cuddly teddy bears all over the walls inside the bar. Especially popular with the German crowd, but everyone is welcome.

You are guaranteed a warm welcome at this very friendly cafe bar, located just steps away from the Yumbo Centre. Managed by three fabulous Italian guys, this is a popular place for breakfast, lunch or just coffee and cake, with some delicious fresh pastries and cakes on offer. Particularly popular with the bear crowd, but frequented by all - it happily proclaims to be straight and pet friendly!

TImE oFF by Romeo and Julio is a fetish club in the basement of the Cita Centre in Playa del Ingles. Lots of different themed events here, ff nights, bear nights, leather and rubber events and sneaker nights to name but a few. Not for the feint hearted.

You can find Mardi Gras on the ground floor of the Yumbo centre next door to Fiction bar, near Burger King. Recently refurbished and with a spacious outside terrace, it's a great choice to enjoy your afternoon and evening cocktails with the friendly staff offering a warm welcome.
