Maspalomas is callingโฆ answer with Pride!
All sorts of questions are being asked every day in our community on Slack. Here you can find the answers from community members to all sorts of questions. Today: bars and restaurants in Maspalomas (and surrounding towns)!
Does anyone have recommendations where to have lunch on Monday?
Try Mr. Kale or The New Rustico (note from admin: The New Rustico is not open for lunch, but I’ll still keep the recommendation here for a dinner recommendation)
Sawadee Meloneras should be open for lunch and is delicious. And Tavolo14 has great pizza and is open all day.
Is there a dancing school/workshops in the south to learn salsa and bachata?
There is bachata class on Thursday at El Tablero. And Stop In Brazil in Playa del Inglรจs, I think they have some classes on Friday evening also.
MOJITO SUR in the Kashbah Shopping Center and Stop In Brazil. Both for dance classes and to go out dancing.
Who’s got recommendations for bars/clubs in Playa del Inglรฉs for a girls only night?
Is China White / Pacha still a thing? They had EDM last time I went like 100 years ago. But honestly best night out in the South for me is MamaJuana. It does have regeaton but the vibe and place are fantastic!
Discoteca Tropical has techno sometimes
Mama Juana or Chester
Any recommendations for food/drinks/dance in Maspalomas?
I really recommend you Kilรณmetro 00 restaurant! It is so good! I found it on this website and I tried it yesterday, yum! I ordered the truffle carbonara and the mortadella focaccia.
Pizzerรญa Pomodoro&Mozzarella for pizza napolitana (in El Tablero). And for Italian in Puerto de Mogan, try A Casa Mia.

Basilico pizzerรญa y restaurante in San Fernando.
Maspalomas: Restaurante LoLa is nice (food), Good Vibes (food & cocktails), B2BurgerBar (beers & burgers), Parque Romantico (food, sounds romantic but is also fine to go with friends), Calma Cafรฉ (breakfast/brunch/lunch) and ofcourse, Kilometro00,ย the gourmet pasta place I’m always talking about!
1) Tipsy Hammock is a good bar.
2) The Irish Tavern: itโs quite cheap and there is more youth.
For club, people suggested me Aqua Ocean Club, but I haven’t been there myself.
There are two main shopping centers with nightlife:
1) Yumbo, main place for LGBTQ+ community
2) Kasbah, I saw more English people there
For food: El Churrasco, you have to make a reservation. For icecream and crepes I recommend Soul Penguin.
Cant recommend ENOUGH a tapas place called WAPA TAPA in the Yumbo Centre in Maspalomas! We had 8 different tapas and 4 different deserts. Tasted perfect. They normally ask for a reservation a day upfront over WhatsApp.
If you’re looking for burgers, try B2 Burgerbar! They have great burgers and a huge selection of local and international beers.
