Top gay exclusive hotels in Gran Canaria

The Canary Islands are a favourite destination for LGBTQ tourists, not only because of their year-round good climate and heavenly beaches, but also for the great range of leisure options in a totally safe environment.

That’s right! Apart from the beaches - one of the Canaries’ biggest attractions - you’ll also find hiking, wining and dining, shopping, cultural activities, nightlife… A full range of experiences to enjoy your holiday in a dream setting. 
 
Accommodation is a key factor to make you feel totally at ease in a holiday destination. The large range of accommodation specifically designed for LGBTQ tourism is mostly in the south of Gran Canaria, in Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas. The fantastic beaches, along with LGBTQ nightlife, theme parties and shopping at the Yumbo (the only shopping centre catering for LGBTQ tourism, also doubling as a nightlife hub), make the south of Gran Canaria the ideal place for a unique, fun holiday.
