Gran Canaria is full of cruising opportunities, mainly on the gay beaches, in gay-only resorts, or in the Maspalomas dunes. You can join in at the gay resorts without being a guest if you pay for a few hours at the pool. At night, there are plenty of cruising and sex bars in Yumbo Center (see bars and clubs above) to keep things interesting.
There are plenty of dedicated cruising bars, such as Noxon, Cruisebar, and Zoo, offering a range of darkrooms, cruising mazes, cabins, and slings. In addition to these, several of the above bars, including Mykonos, have a darkroom.
Perhaps because of this abundance of cruising options across gay Gran Canaria, there is only one gay sauna up north in Las Palmas called Sauna Portugal, which provides most of the action for those far away from the gay center of the island.
Gran Canaria’s cruise clubs are mostly about theme nights, so choose what you’re into and go to that night. Most venues are only open for 4–6 hours and get busy not long after opening.
Insider Tip
Gran Canaria’s sauna and cruise clubs are well known for being safe spaces, as well as clean and hygienic.
