Hotel Ritual Maspalomas

Name: Hotel Ritual Maspalomas
Address: Avda. Alf. Provisionales 33, Maspalomas, 35100, Spain

Sun, Style, and a Hint of Mischief

If Maspalomas were a cocktail, Hotel Ritual would be the slice of lime that makes it sing. Fun, flirty, and fabulously unpretentious, this adults-only, LGBTQ+ resort sits just around the corner from the Yumbo Centrum, close enough to hear the laughter but far enough for a blissful morning lie-in.

The Ritual brand, which started its rainbow rise in Torremolinos, has become synonymous with sunshine, sociability and just the right dose of sass. The Maspalomas edition takes that winning formula - stylish design, relaxed freedom, and poolside parties - and sprinkles it with Gran Canaria’s irresistible charm.

From the moment you arrive, you can tell Ritual doesn’t do dull. The vibe is playful but polished - modern architecture with a splash of Mediterranean rainbow colour, pool terraces framed by palms, and a guest list that knows how to have fun without trying too hard.

The pool area is the resort’s beating heart. By day, it’s a scene of sun loungers, cocktails, and friendly chatter; by night, it morphs into a softly lit social hub where new friendships (and the occasional holiday romance) are born. The Sky Bar serves drinks with flair, and the DJ sets are more chilled than chaotic, enough rhythm to get your toes tapping, but not so loud you can’t flirt over your mojito.

Rooms are modern and minimalist, with pops of bright art, rain showers, and private terraces overlooking the gardens or pool. Some even come with cheeky glass shower walls, because, well, why not? Ritual’s motto is all about freedom, fun, and feeling good in your own skin.

Hungry? The Ritual Restaurant keeps things casual with Mediterranean dishes and light bites throughout the day. You’ll find everything from fresh salads to Spanish tapas, served with smiles and zero fuss. Breakfasts are hearty, with plenty of strong coffee and local fruit to fuel another day in the sun.

The hotel’s location is a winner. Step outside, and you’re moments from the Yumbo, the beating heart of Gran Canaria’s LGBTQ+ nightlife. Drag shows, karaoke, clubs, and cocktail bars are all within easy reach, yet when you return to Ritual, the noise fades into a pleasant hum and the stars take over the sky.

For those in need of a detox between the dance floors, the hotel also offers a wellness area with sauna, jacuzzi and massages. You can go from poolside flirtation to full relaxation in a matter of steps.

What makes Ritual special is its balance. It’s playful without being over the top, sociable without pressure, and stylish without the price tag of luxury resorts. It’s a place where everyone feels welcome, and everyone leaves a little lighter, happier, and more sun-kissed than when they arrived.

Somewhere in between. There’s energy with pool parties, nearby nightlife. But during the day there’s plenty of sun, chill by the pool, relaxing. Nights can be lively, especially being so close to Yumbo. If you want full silence, maybe avoid peak party times.

What about accessibility & convenience (airport, transport, walking)?

It’s about 30 km from Gran Canaria Airport. Playa del Inglés and Yumbo Centre are extremely walkable (it’s right by them). If you have a car, access is straightforward. Otherwise, being so centrally located means you can do most on foot or via short local cab and bus rides..

Is Ritual Maspalomas good value for money?
