As the year begins, one of the most meaningful dates for couples approaches: Valentine’s Day. It is the perfect moment to pause, reconnect and celebrate your relationship through memorable experiences in Gran Canaria.
7 romantic plans in Gran Canaria
Here we share how to make your romantic getaway to Gran Canaria in 2026 truly unforgettable. From sunset walks along the beach to dinners beneath the stars, these carefully chosen ideas invite you to enjoy love at a slower pace on this extraordinary island.
1. A sunset walk along the beach
Walking hand in hand along the shoreline as the sun slowly sets is one of the simplest — and most special — plans you can share.
Beaches such as Las Canteras, Amadores or Maspalomas offer the perfect setting for a relaxed stroll, an unhurried conversation and a few photos to treasure afterwards.
A beautifully simple plan, yet full of romance.
2. A romantic dinner with sea views
Few experiences feel as special as sharing a meal with the sound of the sea in the background. In Gran Canaria, the ocean becomes the perfect companion for an intimate evening with the person you love most.
Carefully prepared flavours, enjoyed without rushing, combined with a privileged seafront setting, turn dinner into a truly sensory experience — ideal for celebrating Valentine’s Day through calm, connection and shared moments.
3. A visit to Holiday World Maspalomas
If this Valentine’s Day you feel like swapping the traditional plan for something more playful, Holiday World Maspalomas is a perfect choice for a date filled with energy and laughter. It’s ideal for couples who enjoy shared experiences — the kind you remember not for what you did, but for how much fun you had together.
The experience can be extended with a game of bowling, adding a light-hearted competitive touch, or an escape room, perfect for teamwork and strengthening your bond. And if the evening calls for something more festive, finishing with karaoke — whether as a couple or with friends — is always a great idea.
Because Valentine’s Day is also about celebrating love in all its forms, Holiday World Maspalomas offers the perfect setting to laugh, create memories and enjoy a night that feels different, genuine and full of shared moments.
4. Watching the sunset from a viewpoint
Sharing a sunset is one of those simple plans that never fails. Gran Canaria is home to countless viewpoints where you can watch the sky slowly change colour as the day draws to a close, offering some of the island’s most magical moments.
Viewpoints such as Pico de las Nieves, Degollada de Becerra or Mirador del Balcón provide breathtaking scenery where landscape and light take centre stage. Stopping, taking in the view and sharing that moment together creates something quietly special.
A plan without haste, without cost and with enormous emotional value — perfect for celebrating Valentine’s Day in an authentic and natural way.
5. Exploring charming villages
Gran Canaria is dotted with villages rich in history and character, where time seems to move at a gentler pace. Tejeda, Teror or Agaete are ideal destinations for walking hand in hand through peaceful streets and charming squares, taking in the island’s true beauty.
Wandering through historic centres, discovering small local shops, enjoying a good coffee or tasting traditional products on a sunny terrace often becomes one of those memories that linger long after the trip.
A romantic, cultural and highly photogenic plan — perfect for couples who appreciate simple pleasures and meaningful moments shared together.
6. A wellness experience for two
We all deserve a break, and Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to slow down and take care of yourselves together. Sharing a spa experience, enjoying a couples’ massage or simply relaxing in a space designed for rest allows you to disconnect from everyday routines and focus on what truly matters.
These moments help release tension, restore balance and reconnect from a place of calm, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and closeness.
A perfect way to turn Valentine’s Day into an experience of wellbeing, care and emotional connection.
7. A romantic evening walk
As night falls, the island offers countless settings for a quiet walk together. Strolling along the coast, through a natural area or along softly lit paths allows you to enjoy the starry sky and the stillness of the evening.
A simple yet beautiful plan that can be made even more special with a small picnic — sharing a glass of wine or a favourite treat — and enjoying the moment together.
A Valentine’s Day to remember
In the end, Valentine’s Day isn’t about grand gestures or elaborate plans. It’s about giving yourselves time, sharing moments without rushing and simply enjoying being together, in whatever way feels right. Sometimes a calm conversation, an unexpected laugh or a shared walk means far more than any gift.
Gran Canaria adds its light, landscapes and gentle climate, but what truly matters is how each moment is lived.
Because when the setting feels right and the company is the one you choose, memories are created almost effortlessly.
