Discover Gran Canaria’s Gay Areas
Gran Canaria’s gay scene is world-renowned, with areas like Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas offering vibrant gay nightlife, cultural spots, and some of the best beaches on the island.
The Yumbo Centre in Playa del Ingles is the heart of the island’s gay nightlife. This bustling centre is packed with bars, clubs, and restaurants, all catering specifically to the LGBT+ community. Whether you’re looking for a laid-back bar for a cocktail or a lively nightclub to dance until dawn, the Yumbo Centre has it all.Â
For a more relaxed atmosphere, head to the gay beach in Maspalomas, known for its welcoming vibe and beautiful natural dunes. It’s the perfect spot to soak up the sun and meet new people.
Another popular gay area is the Maspalomas Dunes – a vast, natural landscape perfect for those looking for a quieter, more private experience. The area is known for its open-minded atmosphere and is popular with those looking to enjoy the beautiful surroundings in peace.
Gran Canaria’s Gay Nightlife and Events
Gran Canaria’s nightlife is one of its biggest draws for LGBT+ travellers, and for good reason. Whether you enjoy chilled-out evening drinks or a wild night of dancing, the island has something for every taste.
Start your evening at the famous Yumbo Centre, where you can sip cocktails at one of its many gay bars before heading to the clubs. Clubs like Mantrix, Copacabana, Sparkles and Ricky’s host exciting drag shows, themed nights, and international DJs that will keep you dancing all night.
If you’re in Gran Canaria in May, don’t miss the Maspalomas Gay Pride festival – a week-long celebration of everything LGBT+, complete with colourful parades, performances, and beach parties.
