Mirador de las Dunas

The Mirador de las Dunas de Maspalomas offers one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Gran Canaria. Located next to the iconic Riu Hotel, this panoramic spot grants you spectacular views over the golden sand sea stretching all the way to meet the deep blue Atlantic. It's like having a miniature Sahara at your feet, but with the refreshing ocean breeze on your face.

From its elevated platform, you can admire the Maspalomas Dunes Special Nature Reserve, a unique ecosystem home to fascinating plant species including date palms, sea grapes, and Canarian tamarisks. The viewpoint features rest areas perfect for sitting down and getting lost in the landscape's immensity, especially magical at sunset when golden light bathes the dunes. To get there, the easiest option is parking on nearby Avenida de Tirajana and walking a few minutes to this natural balcony. An essential stop that connects with the romantic Costa Canaria Promenade, allowing you to appreciate the grandeur of this natural treasure without venturing into the sand.
