You’ll slip into island time at Perchel Beach Club in Gran Canaria: float in an infinity pool overlooking the Atlantic, stretch out on your own hammock under an umbrella, and enjoy a three-course lunch with local flavors. There’s space for families and quiet corners for grown-ups too — you might find yourself wishing the day would linger a bit longer.
“You’re not going to want to leave,” that’s what the woman at the front desk said as she handed me my towel at Perchel Beach Club. She was right — I still think about that first step onto the warm wooden deck, toes curling into the planks, the salty breeze mixing with sunscreen and something faintly citrusy from someone’s drink nearby. The Atlantic just sort of stretches out in front of you here, and it’s weirdly hypnotic. I dropped my stuff on my hammock (they give you your own — no fighting for space) and just kind of melted into the sound of kids laughing somewhere over by the Splash Park. Didn’t expect to relax so quickly.
The infinity pool is where most people drift first. It really does look like it spills right into the ocean — there’s this moment when you’re floating on your back and all you see is blue sky and water, and then a seagull yelling at nothing in particular. Lunch was included (I picked the arroz negro — black rice with chipirón), and honestly, it was way better than any “included” meal I’ve had before. The waiter told me most ingredients come from Gran Canaria itself. He tried to teach me how to say “queso ahumado” properly; Li laughed when I tried — probably butchered it.
I wandered over to check out Nami Sushi Bar after lunch just to see what people were eating (the smell of soy sauce always gets me). There’s also a chill-out bar where some folks were sipping cava in big sunglasses, looking like they’d been here all day. Kids seemed happy enough in their own little world — there’s this cave thing called Peking Cave? Not sure what goes on in there but lots of giggling echoes out every few minutes.
What surprised me most was how easy everything felt — no pressure to do anything but just be there. Even if you forget something or need help, staff are around but never hovering. At one point I realized I’d spent almost an hour just watching light move across the water. So yeah, Perchel Beach Club isn’t flashy or trying too hard; it’s just quietly perfect for a slow day by the sea.
