Holiday homes & rentals in Maspalomas

Maspalomas is the first and last stop for legions of travellers exploring the dreamy Gran Canaria isles. The historic lighthouse, breezy promenade and atmospheric beach bars are just the tip of the iceberg at this excellent year-round locale. Select a Maspalomas bungalow as your base and set about on exploring the region.

Culture awaits

Kick start your stay at the Centro Cultural de Maspalomas, a historic community centre that has been entertaining locals and visitors for years with its inventive program. ExpoMeloneras, close to the lighthouse, is also a great spot to catch local events such as Brasileando, an Afro-Caribbean song, dance, and percussion session. Free concerts, beach zumba sessions, and annual events such as the Maspalomas Carnival, Night of San Juan, and Gran Canaria Pride will keep cultural travellers happy.

Maspalomas also boasts an enviable maritime history. Hard to miss is Maspalomas Lighthouse (Faro de Maspalomas), which towers 65 metres over the coastline and has been a beacon to ships since 1890. How about teeing off at the historic Maspalomas Golf Course? The second-oldest course on Gran Canaria, it is a must-visit for its curious dune-side location.

Where the sun never sets

Maspalomas's hedonistic nightlife has gained traction with jet-setting international revellers, who party until dawn breaks. The Yumbo Centre area is where LGBT travellers can go wild, with gay-themed discotheques, drag shows, and saunas. Kasbah, meanwhile, is where the rich and famous get together to dance the night away. Locals swear by the floor shows, neon lights, and pubs at Playa del Inglés.

Also popular is the Paseo Marítimo stretch of promenade, brimming with fun hot spots, German beer houses, Irish pubs, and clubs. You'll always encounter locals handing out fliers to the latest party. In the mood for gambling? Venture to the city of Las Palmas to Casino Las Palmas, or Gran Canaria Casino in San Agustín. There's so much fun to be had with a Maspalomas bungalow as your base.

Wild outdoors

Unmissable are Maspalomas's expansive dunes, which are continually sculpted by the action of the waves and winds. The Maspalomas Natural Dune Reserve's three ecosystems, Palms, Pond, and Dunes, all run parallel to the sea in fantastic complicity. Make sure to partake in a camel ride while here.

Close to the dunes lies the protected natural reserve of La Charca, which provides refuge for birds migrating from Europe to Africa. Though the lagoon teems with fish, angling is forbidden. Keep an eye out for rabbits, lizards, and wading birds. For waterside action, head to the Playa del Inglés beach where jet-skiing, sailing, windsurfing, and water-skiing options abound. Snorkeling, scuba-diving, and good seafood restaurants line the Playa de San Agustín, a short drive from Maspalomas.
