7Playa de Maspalomas, Gran Canaria


Famous for its iconic dunes, Playa de Maspalomas offers a desert-like landscape unlike anywhere else in Spain. Stretching over six kilometers on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, the beach transitions from lively resort areas to secluded naturist zones.

The sweeping sand dunes, shaped by the wind, form part of a protected nature reserve that feels almost otherworldly. The nearby Maspalomas Lighthouse, standing since 1890, adds a touch of heritage to the modern luxury resorts surrounding it. Sunset here paints the sands in golden hues, creating an unforgettable view.
