🏖️ Sand Series Classic ITF Beach Tennis Gran Canaria 2025
From May 20 to 25, Playa de Las Canteras isn’t just for sunbathing and smoothie bowls. It’s game time. The Sand Series Classic is back, and this international beach tennis showdown is serving serious heat, both on the sand and in the atmosphere.
🎾 What Is the Sand Series Classic?
This isn’t just tennis moved onto the beach. It’s part of the International Tennis Federation’s elite tour, and some of the world’s top beach tennis players will be going head-to-head in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Expect flying serves, diving volleys, and the kind of athleticism that makes you want to reconsider your gym routine.
Beach tennis is fast-paced, entertaining, and just chaotic enough to keep you watching. Plus, when the court has a sea view and the crowd has their toes in the sand, it’s a whole different kind of sporting event.
📍 Where It’s Happening
The action is set up right on Playa de Las Canteras, near Plaza de Saulo Torón at the north end of the beach. This spot offers a built-in natural amphitheatre, thanks to the promenade wall and surrounding terraces. That means a front-row seat with sea breeze included.
🕶️ What to Expect During the Event
- Matches all day, from early rallies to sunset finals
- DJ sets and live commentary to keep the energy high
- Food and drink stalls with beach-friendly bites
- Free public access, so anyone can watch — no tickets needed
- Players doing gravity-defying moves while somehow still smiling
Whether you’re a tennis fanatic or just passing by with an ice cream, it’s an event that grabs your attention and doesn’t let go.
🌤️ Weather in May: Cloud Cover or Court Cover?
By late May, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria starts to flirt with panza de burro season — that signature low cloud cover that keeps things cool. Expect daytime highs around 24°C with a gentle breeze, which is ideal for both players and spectators.
Bring sunblock, sunglasses and a light layer. And maybe a hat if you’re planning to stay courtside all day.
🎾 Why It’s Worth Your Time
- It’s one of the biggest beach tennis tournaments in the world
- It’s free to watch and easy to access
- The setting is unbeatable, with ocean views and café breaks built in
- The energy is contagious, whether you understand the rules or not
Plus, where else can you watch world-class athletes play on sand while sipping a smoothie ten metres away?
