Gran Canaria is one of the most popular destinations in the world for a gay honeymoon. Spain became the third country in the world, after the Netherlands and Belgium, to open up marriage to same-sex couples in 2005, and Maspalomas has since become one of Europe's most gay-friendly holiday destinations. Aqua Beach Bungalows, a men-only resort located directly across from Yumbo Centrum, specializes in celebrating exactly this kind of special trip.
Why choose Aqua Beach for your honeymoon
A honeymoon doesn't have to mean withdrawing from the world — at Aqua Beach, you celebrate your marriage right in the middle of the vibrant nightlife, bars, and crowds of Yumbo Centrum. During the day, you have your own luxury suite as a place to relax, and in the evening you step right out onto the street into the very scene that gives Gran Canaria its reputation. For couples who also want to meet new people during their trip or experience the Gay Pride Festival together, this is the place to be: the hotel is within walking distance of all the bars and events, and the atmosphere is social and energetic all year round.
When is the best time for your honeymoon?
Gran Canaria is a suitable destination year-round thanks to its mild climate. Couples who want to combine their honeymoon with the annual Gay Pride Festival should deliberately book during that period: Aqua Beach is right in the middle of the festivities. There's also plenty going on in Yumbo Centrum outside of Pride, so there's really no "wrong" time to visit.
