A desert of dunes running into the Atlantic in the south, and a green mountain interior an hour away.
Why Gran Canaria for Your Photoshoot
Gran Canaria is often described as a continent in miniature, and for a photographer that is close to literal. The Maspalomas dunes in the south are a genuine desert — ridges of pale sand meeting the ocean, best in the first and last hour of light, and one of the most striking backdrops in the country. Drive inland and within an hour you are among pine forest, ravines and the rock monolith of Roque Nublo. Las Palmas on the north coast adds a colonial old town and a long city beach. Warm all year.

Top Photo Spots in Gran Canaria
The most photogenic locations for your Gran Canaria photoshoot
Maspalomas dunes
Four square kilometres of shifting sand running straight into the Atlantic, protected and completely unbuilt.
Best time: The first or last hour of light — nothing else works here
A protected reserve — stay on marked routes and do not climb the fenced dunes. Sand gets everywhere; a long dress will collect it. No shade at all.
Roque Nublo
An eighty-metre volcanic monolith on the island's central ridge, often standing above the clouds.
Best time: The hour before sunset, allowing thirty minutes to walk in
Half an hour each way on foot from the car park, with a steeper final section — trainers, not sandals. Cold and exposed at 1,800 m; walking back after sunset needs a torch.
Las Canteras beach at sunset
Three kilometres of city beach behind a natural reef, with the water going flat inside the bar and the sun dropping into the Atlantic.
Best time: The forty minutes around sunset, on a falling tide
Low tide is what makes the reflections — check the table. Summer's grey morning lid usually clears by mid-afternoon, so don't cancel early.

Frequently Asked Questions About Photography in Gran Canaria
How much does a photoshoot in Gran Canaria cost?
Professional photoshoots in Gran Canaria start from €279. A typical one- to two-hour session runs roughly €279 to €450, depending on the duration and the number of edited photos included. The island is often called a continent in miniature, so it helps to choose one world — the southern dunes, the mountain interior or Las Palmas — per session.
What are the best photo spots in Gran Canaria?
The Maspalomas dunes in the south are a genuine desert running into the Atlantic, and the most striking backdrop on the island. Inland, an hour of driving brings pine forest, deep ravines and the rock monolith of Roque Nublo. In the north, Las Palmas has the colonial old town of Vegueta and the long city beach of Las Canteras.
What's the best time of day for photos in Gran Canaria?
In the dunes, the first or last hour of light and nothing else — anything in between flattens the ridges and there is no shade at all. Roque Nublo works in the hour before sunset, allowing thirty minutes to walk in; at 1,800 metres it is cold and exposed. The north often sits under trade-wind cloud while the south stays bright, so the forecast rarely applies to both halves of the island.
Can we photograph in the Maspalomas dunes?
Yes, and it is the island's signature setting, but the dunes are a protected nature reserve: stay on the marked routes and do not climb the fenced sections. There is no shade anywhere, so bring water and time the session for the edges of the day. Sand gets into everything — a long dress will collect it, and it is worth having a change for afterwards.
