Gran Canaria

The Maspalomas Dunes

A new naturist complex has just opened in October 2004 in Gran Canaria. Magnolias Natura is in the Maspalomas area know as Campo International, and consists of 28 self catering bungalows around a pool, with an excellent pool side bar and restaurant. This delightful dedicated naturist area operates a regular courtesy bus service to the famous Maspalomas naturist beach, about 3 miles away. In San Agustin there is also the Gloria Palace Hotel which our customers have been enjoying for several years. A roof-top area in this luxurious hotel is set aside for naturism, and they run a courtesy bus to the Maspalomas beach. The "Seaside Hotels" group has two hotel in Gran Canaria with nudist zones. The stylish Palm Beach Hotel in Maspalomas is probably the closest hotel to the Maspalomas nudist beach. On the other side of the beach in Playa del Ingles there is the Sandy Beach Hotel. On the sea front in Maspalomas there is a very stylish luxury hotel, the Gran Hotel Costa Meloneras, which is just 20 minutes walk along the sea front from the extensive naturist area of the beach. However this hotel offers no naturist facilities

Gran Canaria is the third biggest of the Canary Islands, and is the administrative capital of the islands. It has a circular form centred on the granite mass of La Cumbre (2,000m.). Because of the variety of scenery and flora it has been called a continent in miniature where you will find vineyards, banana trees, pine forests, coffee plantations, palm forests, almond trees, sugar cane and tomato crops. Las Palmas is the capital of the province and is a beautiful and historic city. The southern coast in dominated by huge rolling sand dunes, with the famed naturist beach at Maspalomas. There are also many other less well known beaches where naturism is possible.

Magnolias Natura

Magnolias Natura

This is the new naturist resort in Gran Canaria which is proving so popular. This delightful small friendly complex of self catering bungalows around a pool is only a short distance from the famous Maspalomas naturist beach. There is a poolside bar and restaurant serving excellent food.

Seaside Palm Beach Hotel

Seaside Palm Beach Hotel

Like most of the German owned Seaside group of hotels the impressive modern Palm Beach Hotel has a nudist zone. And this is probably the closest hotel to the Maspalomas naturist beach.

Seaside Sandy Beach Hotel

Seaside Sandy Beach Hotel

The Sandy Beach Hotel also has a nudist zone and is in the popular resort of Playa del Ingles. From here one can walk along the beach some way to the Maspalomas naturist beach, approaching it from the further side. The Sandy Beach Hotel offers very good value with a choice of bed and breakfast, half board and all inclusive.

Hotel Gloria Palace

Hotel Gloria Palace

This is a long standing favourite with our clients situated in San Augustin. Among its many facilities this luxurious hotel has a roof top nudist zone. It also offers a complimentary bus service to Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas.

Gran Hotel Costa Meloneras

Gran Hotel Costa Meloneras

The Gran Hotel Costa Meloneras offers no naturist facilities, but this textile hotel is included here because it enjoys such a wonderful position by the lighthouse in Maspalomas, close to the naturist beach. Built in the colonial style it is very impressive in every way.
