Gran Canaria's beach club scene is a southern, sunshine story. The island trades on a long warm season rather than a short summer, so the clubs are about calm bays, pools, Balinese beds and long lunches in the sun rather than the loud day party energy of Marbella or Ibiza. The best of them gather in the south west, around the sheltered bays of Amadores, Anfi del Mar and Puerto Rico.
Every venue below is a real, established place described by the day it delivers. We keep exact prices and any minimum spend as to be confirmed, because they shift with the season, the day and the seat. Send a date and party size and the club will confirm the real figure and what a daybed or a table includes.
Every club, sorted
Real, established venues only, concentrated in the sunny south west. Prices and any minimum spend shift by season and seat, so we mark them to be confirmed.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amadores Beach Club | Amadores | Pools, Balinese beds, champagne | To be confirmed | The island's best known beach club, set above the calm Amadores bay with pools, Balinese beds, a solarium and a champagne terrace over the sand. Polished and relaxed rather than a party, and popular, so reserve a bed ahead in the busy months. |

No pool, but direct access to the white sand of Anfi del Mar nearby. The grown up choice for a long lunch by the water. |
| Chester Beach Club Puerto Rico | Puerto Rico | Pool, sunbeds, lively | To be confirmed | A newer beach club from the well established Chester group, recently opened in Puerto Rico with a pool, sunbeds and a sociable day scene. As a recent opening, check the days it runs and what a bed includes when you book. |
| Chester Meloneras | Meloneras | Restaurant, lounge, sunbeds | To be confirmed | The Chester group also runs a stylish restaurant and lounge in the Meloneras resort strip near the Maspalomas dunes, pairing food and sun loungers with the southern sun.

When the clubs are best in Gran Canaria
The clubs run all year thanks to the island's mild climate, but they are busiest and liveliest from late spring through to autumn, when the southern sun is at its most dependable. Summer brings the Spanish mainland holidaymakers and the busiest beaches, while the winter sun season keeps the terraces ticking over with northern European visitors. For warm days with a little more room, the spring and autumn shoulders are the easiest time to book a good bed.
Getting a daybed, the honest way
Booking rewards a little planning at the busier venues. At a club such as Amadores the best Balinese beds and front positions are reserved ahead on peak summer and winter sun days, and some carry a minimum spend redeemed against food and drinks. The island's scene is gentler than Marbella, so a weekday or a shoulder month visit is easy and a walk in is often possible at quieter times.
Dress runs from beach casual to smart casual depending on the venue, so dress for the club and reserve a bed under your name to smooth the welcome. Always ask what a daybed or table includes and whether a minimum spend applies. Send your date and party size through the form below and the club will confirm availability and any minimum spend for the day you want.

Before you go
Which is the best beach club in Gran Canaria?
The Amadores Beach Club is the island's best known and the benchmark, set above the calm Amadores bay with pools, Balinese beds and a champagne terrace. For a grown up lunch by the water the Maroa club beside the Anfi marina leads. The best choice depends on whether you want a poolside day or a long terrace meal by the sea.
How much does a daybed cost at a Gran Canaria beach club?
Prices move with the season, the day and the position, so we list them as to be confirmed. A simple sunbed is modest, while a Balinese bed or a premium spot at a club such as Amadores costs more and may include a drink. Send your date and the club will confirm the real figure and what the bed includes.
Where are the beach clubs in Gran Canaria?
Almost all of them cluster in the sunny south west, around the sheltered bays of Amadores, Anfi del Mar and Puerto Rico, with the Chester group also present in Meloneras near the Maspalomas dunes. The capital and the north are more about seafront restaurants than resort beach clubs, so base in the south for the scene.
Do you need to book a Gran Canaria beach club in advance?
For a Balinese bed or a premium spot at the busier clubs such as Amadores on a peak day, yes, book ahead. The island's scene is gentler than Marbella, so walk ins are often possible at quieter times, but a reservation secures the best position. The long warm season also spreads the demand across the year.
