Anfi del Mar Beach

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place even though it's chaotic

Fantastic experience: Best beach!! there is also a beach volleyball field. Average age is also relatively young compared to the Amerados (just in case people would know)

Fantastic experience: Hands down the most beautiful beach in the canaries♥️

Fantastic experience: The most beautiful (small) beach I have found in Gran Canaria. But it's a matter of taste.

Fantastic experience: It's very adorable

Fantastic experience: Beautiful heart-shaped beach, one of the most characteristic and best I have seen without a doubt. Unfortunately, the day we went it was cloudy and we couldn't enjoy being at the beach as we would have liked, but we still took the opportunity to take a walk there and get to know the area, which we loved.

Fantastic experience: Nice place with many important and very luxurious hotels, the beauty of the Canary Islands is that many of the hotels present in the garden areas with adjoining bar services are open to visitors and accessible even to those who are not staying in the hotel.

Fantastic experience: Nice place for relaxation

Fantastic experience: Beautiful clean beach, totally different vibe to other parts of the Canaries and a must to visit if you are on the island. Loads of loungers and things to do too

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, water and sand truly unexpected! Well-equipped and very comfortable, there are many places to eat and drink, even a supermarket and various stores! Of course, it's very crowded, perfect for families even with small children!

Fantastic experience: Difficult to access unless you are staying at the hotel. A small paradise. The environment is very calm, safe, and clean. The waters are extremely clear. Ideal for vacations with children because the beach area is small, it has supervision, and the sea is so calm that it feels like a swimming pool. With a designated area with sun loungers until 6 PM. There is a lifeguard and all the necessary infrastructure to enjoy an excellent day at the beach. For the more adventurous, there is a range of experiences available as happens in various points of the island.

Fantastic experience: A very quiet beach with no waves and few people, I recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Beach visited on vacation, the water quality is very good.

Positive experience: Although the beach and the area are beautiful, I think paying €4 for parking because there is no other parking for 1 hour and a bit seems excessive to me.

Fantastic experience: Amazing beach, I would say one of the most beautiful in Gran Canaria. In the season, you should expect crowds ranging from moderate to large. There is parking nearby (3 euros for the whole day during the week). The only downside is the nearby eateries - extremely poor and bad food, so for those wanting to eat something on the side, I recommend going a bit further.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful white sand beach, turquoise water. It's true that there are a lot of people, but you'll find space if you arrive early. Many water activities as well, affordable prices, numerous restaurants on-site, and a supermarket to buy food and drinks to enjoy on the beach.

Fantastic experience: Calm sea and fine sandy beach. Quiet area.

Positive experience: A very nice place where they forgot that the people who go need shade, it's almost impossible to find one.

Positive experience: Very similar to Amadores Beach, nice family atmosphere but very small.

Negative experience: Unfortunately, they have banned the area to fishermen, all for tourism, but even if you are a tourist, you also cannot fish; they have taken over the coast by closing off the shoreline with buoy lines, preventing casting.

Fantastic experience: It's a small cove, very well kept, clean, with super blue water and yellow sand. The whole environment is very well maintained, with restaurants, shops, and services. The only downside is that there are a lot of people, and parking is complicated.

Positive experience: The place is nice but completely artificial, average shops with extremely high prices, bars and food for not very demanding tourists and a beach that is packed, lots of sunbeds and a lot of people. It depends on what you're looking for...

Negative experience: Very crowded, garbage in the water. The beach is full of fat women and topless elderly ladies, not the most pleasant sight. I don't understand why this is not banned on family beaches.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful place, but there are indeed a lot of people. Recommended for those who like a beautiful, yet bustling beach. Bars and restaurants within walking distance.

Negative experience: Dirty artificially created beach. Nice type of sand but only 10cm thick, making it difficult for children to dig. Very expensive if you want a sunbed.

Fantastic experience: Beach with white sand and turquoise water, sunbeds or umbrellas for rent at 4€ each, smoking and alcohol are not allowed on the beach, plenty of water sports, excellent view, market nearby, restaurant by the beach with decent prices.

Fantastic experience: So far, everything is chic. Prices in the restaurants have risen a lot since October. It's a pity that the sunbeds are closed from 6:00 PM.

Positive experience: Artificial beach with rather poor sand

Fantastic experience: The sand is thick, but the water is calm so that the kids can enjoy.

Fantastic experience: Unbeatable beach in the south of Gran Canaria. At certain times, in summer, it gets quite crowded. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Parking 13 euros/day, sandy beach (recommended also for children), toilet, aquatic sports activities!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place! Just make sure you come before 10:00 if you want to get a big sun bed - cost 40€ per day, smaller are 12 for 2 beds and umbrella! Place is clean, nice, good restaurants, only issue is with toilets, as restaurants keeps them for customers and you must go to the shopping center, in dry clothes, very badly managed in fairness. Overall experience is super!

Fantastic experience: Not entirely unjustly is this referred to as the bounty beach of Gran Canaria! (excluding the luxury hotel complex built against the rocks) This dreamy place includes a landscaped garden, a docking area for smaller yachts, nice bars, restaurants, and trendy shops. There was a fine, white sand beach with crystal clear water and comfortable normal or luxury sunbeds and umbrellas. Along the promenade, you could use toilets and showers. Furthermore, there was also a water sports center where you could jet ski, parasail, and also rent a kayak or pedal boat. Definitely worth spending a day or even your entire vacation there!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach in Gran Canaria, there are quite a lot of people, but it's worth it.

Positive experience: The beach is small but very beautiful and the water is cold. Perfect for cooling off.

Negative experience: Beach easily reachable by car. Free and paid parking available. Crowded, too commercial and touristy for my tastes. Attracted by the many videos and reviews praising the place, I was personally disappointed. I prefer natural beaches...

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with many services

Negative experience: Overcrowding and dirt. That is what this beautiful beach has become due to mass tourism, which we residents and also our visitors suffer from. There is dirt in the water to the point of not wanting to swim, and total overcrowding. The only visible action taken by the town hall is a 100% increase in parking fees in the blue zone. 60% of the area or more is occupied by sunbed concessions. We're not doing well, very poorly. And it’s a shame because I insist that until very recently, it was a pleasure to visit this beach.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with sand from the Caribbean USA

Fantastic experience: Wonderful, beautiful, stunning...

Negative experience: Looks good from above, otherwise one should avoid this place! Totally overcrowded - we were there on a Thursday (!!!). The water is murky and dirty, just disgusting!

Fantastic experience: Very nice places, lots of entertainment

Fantastic experience: The most beautiful beach for swimming for me ‍♀️☀️

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place! Beautiful beach and wonderful, azure water ❤️ There are water attractions for kids and adults, as well as plenty of restaurants around.

Negative experience: The joy of the beautiful beach and the amazing aqua sea is ruined (on Saturday) by expensive boats and jet skis with loud music.

Positive experience: The beautiful beach and relaxation are disrupted by announcements through the megaphone, which call attention to the beach rules in multiple languages. I find this to be excessive and annoying. Sun loungers with umbrellas cost 12 euros. The water looks turquoise, but it is not clear due to the limited water exchange in the bay. Perfect place for posers.

Negative experience: Attention scam! Only a few bad and paid gravel parking lots. Everything around 'Anfi' is obviously only designed for profit. The beach is overcrowded. Every meter consists of expensive paid sun loungers. A large part of the beach is equipped with luxury loungers (€40). The beach is no longer visible because of this. Loud noise is coming from the bars and the boats, and at intervals of 5 minutes, one is shouted at over loudspeakers that one cannot listen to music, cannot bring alcoholic drinks to the beach, and must adhere to the lounge times. There are direct threats involving the police. The water seems clear at first glance, but is absolutely dirty. Trash and a thick layer of sunscreen are present in the water. The holiday complex/hotel is exclusively timeshare. Avoid this place like the plague.

Fantastic experience: Considering that you can't go to the sea everywhere in Gran Canaria, this is a beautiful place. The only downside is that in the afternoon a whitish foam forms on the sea. There are all the comforts. Sunbed or deck chair for only 4 euros each.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach and sea. I found this beach to be much more exclusive than many other renowned ones in Gran Canaria... and everything at higher prices, from the sunbed to the food. Nevertheless, beautiful and well maintained.

Fantastic experience: Super nice beach, you can park on the street for 6 euros a day, and in about 5 minutes you can be lying on the beach. Umbrellas cost 12 euros. I think it's great that the beach is cleaned and monitored; we all want a clean beach. Otherwise, drinks in the bars and local places are top.

Positive experience: The parking lot is overpriced at 6 euros per day. At Playa de Amadores, you can park for free. The water and the beach are very nice.

Positive experience: A beautiful beach with stunning water from afar, unfortunately, there were many leaves and algae in the water which made swimming not quite so pleasant.

Fantastic experience: Very nice but based on the information available on the Internet, I expected something more, for me, Playa de Amadores is better :)

Fantastic experience: We were delighted with this beach. With its white sands and crystal-clear waters, this beach is a true treasure of the Canary Islands. It was well worth the visit! Important information: Calm Waters: Perfect for swimming and relaxing, the beach offers a calm environment, ideal for the whole family. ☀️ White Sand: Great feeling to walk on the fine white sands that beautifully contrast with the blue sea. Natural Beauty: The beach is surrounded by palm trees and tropical gardens, Anfi del Mar is a postcard-worthy setting. ‍♂️ Water Activities: The beach also has a variety of water sports, from snorkeling to kayaking trips. Parking: I had some difficulty finding free parking and opted to park in a lot on C. Anfi del Mar. There is an option to go down to the beach by elevator or a ramp with breathtaking views. You can enjoy local cuisine, there are several restaurants in the area.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with crystal clear water. A bit crowded when we were there in mid-July. It offers services like bars, restaurants, and souvenir shops. To get there, I recommend parking your car in a paid covered parking (average price 6/7€ per day). After exiting the parking lot, you need to retrace a piece of road and reach a panoramic elevator that will take you right to the beach.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, I loved it here.

Fantastic experience: We love this beautiful little beach, perfect for children and families.

Fantastic experience: Artificial beach, very quiet

Fantastic experience: It is a beautiful beach. It is a must-visit if you go to Gran Canaria.

Fantastic experience: Stunning resort!

Positive experience: Beautiful white sandy beach with lovely restaurants and shops nearby

Fantastic experience: Refreshing and crystal clear water, a calm beach day.

Fantastic experience: The beach itself is very cool, with white sand that makes the water look crystal clear. Although taken over by consumerism (rental sunbeds and umbrellas, water moros, pedal boats, water activities...), it leaves little room for personal enjoyment. It's a super luxurious place, focused on posing.

Fantastic experience: It's very good. All the services. The sand is a bit different (more pebbles than fine sand). Too many people as it's small. A small harbor next to it. Quite a few restaurants and bars in the area, just be careful to know the prices beforehand. Some tourist traps (the ice cream shop is a scam).

Positive experience: The sunbeds are relatively cheap (€12). The beach itself is quite nice but as it is quite small and there are a lot of people that go here, it is a bit off putting. Also, the people who work there start packing up at around 17:00, even though they say the start at 20:00!

Positive experience: I really liked this beach. It has white sand and the water is great. There is a promenade next to the beach where there are shops and restaurants. There is also a canal that goes to the beach where you can swim. The prices in this area are somewhat high compared to other areas in the south, and parking is difficult, but there is paid parking.

Fantastic experience: Gorgeous! So freaking gorgeous. The views, the palm trees, the clean sandy beaches. The quiet. Absolutely loved visiting this beach.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely stunning beach. It’s nicknamed the 'Caribbean Beach'. The sand is white as it was imported from the Caribbean, and the palm trees are from Cuba and not your typical Mediterranean ones. The water is clear and waves are little. I definitely recommend a visit here 100%. The bus stop is outside the entrance to the beach - you have to follow the road next to the hotel to get to the beach. You can get here from most parts of the island.

Fantastic experience: White fine sand beach brought from the Bahamas. Sheltered by two breakwaters, it is ideal for spending the day. There is also a beautiful promenade, shops, and places to grab a bite. The water is calm and clear. You can access it by a couple of elevators that take you from the elevated parking to sea level.

Fantastic experience: Super nice beach, garbage is regularly removed, great sun, clear water

Fantastic experience: It may be fake, but it's beautiful. Neat, clean, served, perfect.

Fantastic experience: Playa Anfi del Mar is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches in Gran Canaria! With its fine golden sand, clear turquoise water, and the stunning backdrop of Anfi del Mar Bay, this beach is a truly paradise-like destination. The infrastructure at the beach is excellent, with sun loungers, umbrellas, and beach bars that provide comfort and convenience. There are also a variety of water sports options available, such as windsurfing, jet skiing, and parasailing, which cater to adventure seekers. The location of Playa Anfi del Mar is also remarkable. Nestled between the cliffs of Gran Canaria's southern coast, the beach offers a sheltered and tranquil environment that invites relaxation and enjoyment. Anfi del Mar Bay is also known for its spectacular sunsets, which enchant visitors every evening. Overall, Playa Anfi del Mar is a truly dreamy beach and a must-visit for anyone traveling to Gran Canaria.

Positive experience: Very nicely laid out beach. Prices are therefore a bit more expensive, 2 sun loungers + umbrella 12€. No parking spaces in the immediate vicinity. When we were on site, it was very loud, with constant announcements not to smoke on the beach, not to drink alcohol, and not to consume drugs. All in all, I don't need to go there again. Mainly Spaniards, English, and French were present.

Fantastic experience: Lovely beach! Soft sand and clear water (no stones). The beach is also very clean because eating or smoking is not allowed. Sunbeds are also available for rent with umbrellas. Luxury sunbeds are two for 40 euros, but if you walk a bit more to the left, you can find two sunbeds for 12 euros. A supermarket and restaurants are nearby. We parked in the garage close by for a few euros per hour (maximum 14 euros per day). You then take an elevator down and are right on the beach. We had a wonderful afternoon!

Positive experience: Beautiful timeshare facility, we looked around ourselves and were invited. Taxi ride was on the house both ways. We could have participated in a tour of about 90 minutes, which we could easily decline.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with white sand. Equipped with umbrellas and deck chairs at a good price or you can also move freely. There is a whole range of shops and little restaurants as well as free public restrooms. Taking the elevator you access the paid parking or there are also some paid and free spaces on the street. Beautiful scenery.

Fantastic experience: The best beach in Gran Canaria

Fantastic experience: Very nice beach, but there is no store nearby.

Fantastic experience: Magical place with white sand brought from the Caribbean. Restaurants to eat. And if you want a sandwich, there's a supermarket. Elevator to go down to the beach. Five-star place.

Positive experience: The closest thing to a private beach that I know of. I'm not sure it's legal. The sand is white, but because it's artificial, its thinness makes it difficult to put up an umbrella.

Fantastic experience: It's beautiful, a small paradise in Gran Canaria.

Positive experience: A beautiful beach. White sand and crystal clear water.

Fantastic experience: Small beach, very well maintained and with all services. White sand beach. You have to leave the car in the upper parking and take the elevator down to the beach.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. It's beautiful and even though it's artificially made, it's totally worth it.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach but not very easy to access... neither smoking nor drinking beer allowed, so bring Coca-Cola‍♂️.

Fantastic experience: Calm beach, excellent for enjoying the sea and the sand.

Fantastic experience: Impressive beach with crystal clear waters and white sand.

Fantastic experience: Located in the south of Gran Canaria, between Arguineguín and Puerto Rico, it is an artificial beach. HISTORY It was built in the 1990s, at the initiative of a Norwegian businessman. The idea was to recreate the Caribbean atmosphere in Gran Canaria, for which he would bring two thousand tons of white sand from the Bahamas. WHAT TO SEE - White sandy beach, turquoise and crystal clear waters, with no wind. - Promenade, with restaurants, shops, bars,... - Small artificial island, with gardens and a canal. - Marina. * Family-friendly beach, where music and ball games are not allowed. A quiet place to enjoy and relax.

Fantastic experience: Very pleasant beach, very well equipped with services (shops, supermarkets, hospitality). White sand that doesn't burn (brought from the Caribbean). Only problem: very little parking, almost exclusively paid.

Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach, it has an elevator to go down to the beach, restaurants and beach bars to eat and drink, it has public restrooms inside the galleries and others that you have to pay for along the promenade... the rentals for sunbeds and umbrellas were the most expensive we paid but oh well...

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful beach with white sand and everything needed around.

Fantastic experience: Not to be missed if you come to Gran Canaria. White sand beach like talcum powder.

Positive experience: I was in Maspalomas, loved the beach there but didn't like the water that much, the waves were too strong and not clear water. Anfi is the complete opposite, AMAZING water, bay, sand, vibes. Do yourself a favor and try it at least once. You won't regret it. 4* because there is no public showers, taxi costed around €30 from playa d'ingles.

Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches we visited in Gran Canaria. Blue water. White sand. Well frequented.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, it competes with Amadores. White sand, calm and crystal clear water. Not very large but very sheltered and scenic with palm trees. Various dining spots and the possibility to shop on site (prices a bit higher but still advantageous). Possibility to take a walk to the heart-shaped artificial island. From the parking lot (also free) a little walk.

Fantastic experience: Beach with very fine white sand, with rental of sun loungers and umbrellas at moderate prices.

Fantastic experience: An amazing beach, I recommend going if you are on the island

Fantastic experience: My favorite place on the whole island! Paradise beach with crystal clear water, it wasn't too crowded and we had a very good afternoon there.

Fantastic experience: Never get bored of this impressive resort. Not everyone dreams, and I turned down the opportunity to go for 2 years, but now I never want to leave.
