Beach clubs in Gran Canaria
Sun, pools, and cocktails along the island's southern coastline.
Gran Canaria has 13 beach clubs in Gran Canaria worth knowing about. They're spread along the southern coast, from Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés in the east to Puerto Rico and Mogán in the west.
Ratings range from 3.7 to 4.6 stars across more than 13,800 Google reviews. Most clubs sit in the €€ price bracket, with a few budget options under €20 per person. The south side of the island gets the most sun year-round, which is why almost every beach club is down here.
Gran Canaria's coastline regulations mean most clubs are pool-based rather than right on the sand. A few sit directly on the beach, but the majority offer infinity pools with ocean views instead. The official Gran Canaria tourism portal has useful info on beaches and local transport if you're planning around multiple spots.
The Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés area has the highest concentration. Further west, the Mogán coast around Puerto Rico, Amadores, and Arguineguín has a strong cluster too. Here's what each one offers.

Pricing is €€. Free parking is plentiful. The club operates seasonally, so check ahead before visiting in the off-season. It's best known for its pool parties and group events.
Food and cocktails are served poolside. Recent reviews praise the service and atmosphere, with food scoring 5/5 in detailed ratings.
Beach Club Faro
Beach Club Faro is in Puerto de Mogán, at the western end of the tourist coast. Rated 3.9 from 562 reviews, it's a sunset spot with port views.
Cocktails are the most-mentioned item (46 reviews), followed by sunset (39) and music (24). Paella and Canarian potatoes also get regular mentions. The club has live music, a DJ, and late-night food service.
Open daily from 10:30 to 22:00. Reservations accepted. Free parking is available. It's family-friendly with a kids' menu and high chairs.
The 3.9 rating reflects some inconsistency. About 15% of reviews are one star, with guests citing occasional closures and uneven food quality. But when it's on, the sunset views over Mogán harbour are the best of any beach club on the island.
BlueBay Beach Club
BlueBay Beach Club is a hotel-based beach club in Bahía Feliz, between the airport and Maspalomas. It has 2,261 reviews but a lower 3.7 rating.
The setup includes an outdoor pool, ocean views, beach access, and two restaurants. It's a resort-style property with apartments, a spa, fitness centre, and golf course nearby. Half board is available.
This is the most budget-friendly option on the list. Wifi is paid rather than free, which is unusual. The main complaints in reviews relate to apartment upkeep and maintenance rather than the beach club facilities.
It works best as a base for families who want all-inclusive convenience with beach access. If you're looking for a standalone day-visit beach club, the other options on this list are better suited.
Anfi Beach Club Bar La Posada
Anfi Beach Club Bar La Posada is inside the Anfi del Mar resort in Mogán. Rated 4.4 from 35 reviews, it's a smaller, quieter option.
The club has a pool, sunbeds, and a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Pricing is budget-friendly at €10-20. It's family-oriented with a kids' area and wheelchair-accessible seating.
Open daily from 8:00, it runs later on Thursdays until 21:30. The limited review count means the rating could shift, but current feedback is positive. About 63% of reviews are five stars.
It's a low-key pick for guests staying at or near the Anfi del Mar complex. Don't expect a party atmosphere.
La Riviera Beach Club
La Riviera Beach Club is in Playa del Cura, between Puerto Rico and Arguineguín. It holds a 4.5 rating from 17 reviews, the joint highest on the island alongside Palmira.
The pool is the main draw (6 mentions out of 17 reviews). Guests praise the peaceful environment and friendly staff. There's a bar and wheelchair-accessible entrance. The all-inclusive option is mentioned by a couple of reviewers.
With only 17 reviews, it's still under the radar. The small sample size means the rating should be taken with some caution, but early feedback is strong. 76% of reviews are five stars.
A good option if you want something quiet on the Mogán coast without the crowds of Chester or Amadores.
Morgan Princess Hotel and Beach Club
Morgan Princess Hotel and Beach Club is in Taurito, a quiet spot between Puerto Rico and Mogán. It has just 2 Google reviews with a 4.0 average.
The club is hotel-based, with a bar, restaurant, and sunbeds. Reservations are accepted. The setting is casual. Coffee gets highlighted in the limited review data.
With so few reviews, it's hard to judge. The Taurito location is more remote than other options, which could be a plus if you want isolation. Reviews mention the distance from the ocean as a downside.
This one is for guests staying at the hotel or nearby. It's not a destination beach club in its own right.
