Welcome to Maspalomas
The sand dunes of Maspalomas stretch along the southern tip of Gran Canaria like a small desert meeting the Atlantic. You can walk them at sunrise, ride a camel across them, or simply follow the shoreline south toward the naturist beach at Playa del Inglés. Resorts in Maspalomas line the dune edge and beachfront, with the Ground Golf Maspalomas course and the Faro de Maspalomas lighthouse both close by.

When to visit Maspalomas
High and low season in Maspalomas
Winter is peak season in Maspalomas, drawing visitors from across Europe who come for the reliable sunshine and warm conditions. December through March sees the highest demand, so securing accommodation early is worth the effort. The famous dunes and beach areas are at their busiest during this period, and flights tend to fill up quickly.
Summer brings fewer international visitors to Maspalomas, which means you'll find it easier to get around and prices can be more favourable. The trade-off is that conditions are hotter and drier, and some visitors find the heat intense during the middle of the day. Overall, the area remains open and accessible year-round, so you won't lose much in terms of available experiences.
Maspalomas hosts a well-known carnival season in late winter, with colourful parades and street events drawing good crowds. For a fuller picture of what's on during your visit, the Gran Canaria tourism website and local visitor information offices are reliable starting points before your trip.
