The Canary Islands Overview

Gran Canaria is blessed with a wealth of natural resources, the most notable of these being the numerous and exquisite beaches of the island. The island of Gran Canaria is one of the world's best-known gay holiday destinations, and every year thousands of gay men visit here to take advantage of its wonderful climate, beaches and wild nightlife.

Gran Canaria has consolidated itself as one of the most popular gay tourist resorts in Europe. Only a few hours flight away from the Old Continent's main cities, the island acts as a meeting point for tourists looking for temperatures between 18 and 25 degrees all year round.

The accommodation offer is as varied as the Island itself and as welcoming as its people. You can find accommodation in pretty bungalows or apartments on the coast or small country hotels on the central area of the island for those who prefer to enjoy nature. You can also discover a wide variety of services intended for rest and relaxation from a spa session to a mud bath.

But above all, Gran Canaria offers a whole host of beaches for sun and sea lovers. In the south of the island, we find Maspalomas beach, which stretches for several kilometres, immersed in an enormous field of dunes, offering the opportunity for everyone to enjoy a day at the beach. There are peaceful areas for nudism and more lively areas around the ‘beach bars'.
