Maspalomas is best known for its dunes, not its nightlife — and that’s exactly what makes it a different kind of base than neighbouring Playa del Inglés for anyone visiting a cannabis social club here. The clubs themselves run on identical rules to the rest of Spain, but the resort around them is quieter, more spread out, and easier to relax in between visits.
The same private-association model applies here as everywhere in Spain — each one a registered Asociación Cannábica — full background in our cannabis law guide. To join a club in Maspalomas you’ll need to:
Most Maspalomas trips are a single week, and a club application that takes days to clear — or doesn’t clear at all — can eat into that fast. The Green-Key Cannabis Club Membership Pass confirms your visit with partner clubs in the resort before you arrive, so you land already able to visit rather than waiting on an application.
Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés and San Agustín form one continuous resort strip along Gran Canaria’s south coast, and several clubs in this guide serve visitors from all three. What sets Maspalomas apart is the Dunas de Maspalomas, a protected nature reserve of shifting sand dunes running right along the coastline, and the nearby Faro de Maspalomas lighthouse — one of the oldest in the Canary Islands and the resort’s most recognisable landmark. If your priority after visiting a club is a walk on the dunes rather than a night out, Maspalomas is the better base. For the nightlife side of the same resort, see our Playa del Inglés guide.
Maspalomas is more spread out than Playa del Inglés, with hotels and clubs stretching along a longer stretch of coast, so a short taxi ride or local bus is more useful here than relying purely on walking. Global, the island’s inter-urban bus operator, connects Maspalomas to Playa del Inglés and San Agustín on frequent local routes, and most clubs are a five-to-ten minute taxi ride from the dunes and lighthouse area.
Four private clubs serve Maspalomas and the neighbouring Playa del Inglés, and all four set a minimum age of 18. Opening hours and facilities below are taken from each club’s Canna-Maps page. Hours can change, so check the page before you go.
Want a late evening? EC is open until midnight most nights and until 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, the latest of the four. Want an early start? CaliKasbah opens at 10:00 and Aurum Terps at 10:30. Staying near Meloneras? Aurum Terps is the club on that side of the resort. Want games and a pool table? Green Club No.1 has both. Whichever you choose, membership approval comes first, so get your Green-Key pass before you travel.

Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) sits roughly 35–40 minutes north via the GC-1 motorway — a longer transfer than the capital, but a standard one for the south-coast resorts. There’s a direct bus service if you’re not renting a car, and most transfer companies run a fixed south-coast route covering Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés and San Agustín on the same trip. Pre-booking one of these transfers means a driver is already waiting when you land, rather than joining the taxi queue.
Maspalomas leans quieter and more family-oriented than its noisier neighbour Playa del Inglés, with most accommodation built around the golf courses and the approach to the dunes rather than a bar strip — think gated resort hotels and self-catering villa complexes over budget apartments. It’s still an easy taxi ride from the clubs listed below.
Yes — it has its own clubs and sits a short trip from more in neighbouring Playa del Inglés, while offering a quieter resort than the nightlife-focused strip next door.
Membership rules are identical — both fall under the same national private-association law. The difference is the resort itself: Maspalomas is built around the dunes and a calmer pace, while Playa del Inglés is the nightlife hub next door. See our Playa del Inglés guide for that side of the resort.
No — every club requires membership approval first, the same as anywhere in Spain. A Green-Key pass is the fastest way to have that sorted before you land.
As listed, CaliKasbah is open 10:00 to 22:00, Aurum Terps 10:30 to 22:30 and Green Club No.1 11:00 to 23:00, all seven days a week. EC is open 11:00 to midnight Monday to Thursday and Sunday, and until 02:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Check each club’s page for the latest hours.
All four clubs covered in this guide set a minimum age of 18 and ask for valid photo ID, a passport or a Spanish DNI. Each club sets its own rule, so always check the age shown on the club’s page.
All four list wheelchair access and a pet-friendly space on their Canna-Maps pages. Because arrangements differ from club to club, confirm the details for yours before you go.
About 35–40 minutes by car via the GC-1 motorway — the same transfer time as Playa del Inglés, since they sit on the same stretch of coast. A pre-booked private transfer covers that stretch just as easily as a rental car.
Yes — the Dunas de Maspalomas are a protected natural reserve right along the coast, and most clubs in the resort are a short taxi ride from the dunes and the Faro de Maspalomas lighthouse.
Euros are standard, and Maspalomas has one of the largest German visitor markets in the Canaries, so German is genuinely common alongside English — Dutch and Italian are also regularly heard.
EU plans are generally covered under roam-like-at-home rules, but UK and non-EU visitors often face real charges here. A Yesim eSIM covers the whole south coast — Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés and San Agustín included — and activates before you even land at Gran Canaria Airport.
Under 21? Clubs that accept 18+: Gran Canaria.
