Top 12 Best Clubs in Gran Canaria: Where the Night Comes Alive
🎉 Gran Canaria does not disappoint when it comes to nightclubs. The island has everything: massive venues packed with international DJs, small hidden spots for dancing and partying, themed clubs, high-energy dance floors, and chill lounges. The challenge is not finding a club., but picking which one.
Here are the 12 best clubs in Gran Canaria, organized by location, so you know exactly where to go depending on your vibe
LAS PALMAS CLUBS
1. Sentido
A two-floor venue that sets the tone for Las Palmas nightlife. First floor reggaeton, second floor techno. Big club with high capacity that fills up fast, young local crowd and the kind of venue where things feel alive. Different DJs on different nights who keep the dance floor moving. If you want to see what the city’s nightlife is about, this is the place that defines it.
2. Mr Vaho
A great spot that keeps the energy up without trying too hard. Good atmosphere, decent music, and the kind of place where you can lose yourself on the dance floor. The crowd is high energy and ready to party. Not a huge club, just the right size and consistently good for a night out.
3. Sugar
The rooftop club that opened recently and has quickly become the spot both locals and tourists are checking out. Good music, classy atmosphere, and a great venue to spend the night. The rooftop angle gives it a different vibe from the other clubs in the city. If you want to see what is happening on the Las Palmas scene right now, this is worth the visit.
4. Laventura
Small and local, exactly the kind of club you do not find without a tip from someone who knows the city. If Latin and reggaeton are your thing, this has undoubtedly the best music for that style. The vibe is intimate and the crowd is there to dance. Saturday nights after 2am is when this place becomes the most fun spot on the island. If you want the real Las Palmas club experience, not the polished tourist version, this is it.
5. Alboroto
This is the most popular club in the old town district. Depending on the night you show up, the vibe can change, from hosting Erasmus student parties, to a strict 25+ age limit. But with lots of space, an outside terrace, great music is good and organization, it makes it work for any type of group, making it a must-see spot for a night out in Las Palmas.
PLAYA DEL INGLÉS CLUBS
6. Pachá
The king of the south. Pachá is massive and gets packed every weekend. Two different spaces with different atmospheres, a huge terrace, international DJs, and the kind of scale that makes it feel like a proper nightclub experience. It is the go-to if you want to feel the energy of the island’s biggest party scene. Expect crowds, expect noise, expect to dance until morning.
7. Club Ozono
For people who want to keep going until sunrise (literally — this place stays open until 7am). Techno music and the kind of crowd that is there for hours, not minutes. If you want a club that does not close when other places wind down, this is it.
8. The Garage
Our personal favorite in the Kasbah center. With lots of space, open-air area, tables available and a great selection of reggaeton music, this club offers an exciting atmosphere and consitently gifts people the best nights possible. The staff is incredibly friendly and they create a good energy throughout the night. It is a also kind of spot that works for a night out without the overwhelming scale of the biggest venues.
9. Chinawhite
A club with its own identity in Playa del Inglés. Good atmosphere, solid music selection, and a crowd that is there to dance. The vibe is energetic without feeling as overwhelming as some of the massive venues nearby. Worth checking out if you want something with personality.
MELONERAS CLUBS
10. Club Maroa (Anfi Island)
The largest leisure terrace in the entire Canary Islands. Beachside setting, music, cocktails, chill out vibe mixed with dancing. If you want something between the massive clubs and a quiet bar, this hits the middle ground.
11. Chester (Meloneras)
A well-known venue in Meloneras and a local all-time favorite, which is usually the first recommendation given to new people on Gran Canaria, looking for a crazy Saturday night out. Chester operates in multiple locations around the island, yet Meloneras is the one people praise the most, for it’s multiple floors, music selection and a young energetic party crowd.
PUERTO RICO CLUBS
12. Jocker Night Club
This place is Puerto Rico’s premier late-night party destination, featuring a fully renovated, modern interior in the main shopping center. The venue keeps the dance floor packed until 7:00 AM with an energetic mix of House, Electronic, Reggaeton, and Commercial hits spun by top DJs.
Important Notes
Clubs do not get busy until around midnight. Most do not even open until 11pm. If you show up at 10pm, you will find empty chairs. Plan for that. Eat dinner, walk around, do something else first. Then head out when the city is actually awake.
Dress code is usually smart casual. Avoid athletic wear or flip-flops at the bigger venues. Smaller clubs are more relaxed.
Prices vary wildly depending on the venue. Expect to pay more at the big players than at a neighborhood spot. Drinks are generally cheaper than Northern Europe.
The Easiest Way to Hit Multiple Clubs
If you want to skip the guesswork about which club to hit and just have a group to party with, the Las Palmas Pub Crawl and Maspalomas Pub Crawl do exactly that. You get taken through the best bars and a nightclub with a group of travelers and locals, free shots at every stop, and guides who know the scene.
You show up solo or with friends, and you spend the night with people instead of standing alone trying to figure out which venue to hit next.
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights in Las Palmas and Maspalomas at 21:30.
