Holiday World which is a late night amusement park, is in Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas it has lots of bars and 2 discos in too! It is free entry to most of the nightclubs but you can spend a lot on drinks as they can tend to be a lot more expensive! The bigger clubs don't really get going until around 1am but then they can party well into the early hours, It may be a good idea to join in the locals tradition and take a siesta so you can keep up with the pace!
Maspalomas and Playa del Ingles in Gran Canaria is still one of the top holiday destination for Gay people, down in these resorts in the south it caters for day and night! At night the Yumbo centre in Playa del Ingles is the place to be! During the day and early evening this centre is alive with families and tourists shopping and eating, but at about 10.30pm there is a noticeable change round where's those families retire to bed and the gay community settle in! Although a few straight people stay and mingle and watch the drag shows at Cafe Labelle. Although most gay men prefer the action at Centre Stage where every night is Julie Andrews night! At about 4am the bars upstairs start to wind down this is when the large disco bars kick in, XL and Kings - you really haven't done gay Gran Canaria until you partied the night away at Kings until 6am! During the day the beach in Maspalomas has three sections one for familys and groups, one for nudists and one for the Gay community too! Now wonder it is the biggest gay resort in Europe!
