Gay Canary Islands
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 nation hotels on the central area of the island for those who prefer to enjoy essence. You can also discover a wide variety of services intended for rest and relaxation from a spa session to a mud bath.

There are peaceful areas for nudism and more lively areas around the ‘beach bars'.
