Abora Catarina — nudist sun terrace
Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
An adults-only nude sun terrace on the roof of a family hotel near the Maspalomas dunes, with open views across Playa del Inglés. The separate rooftop is reserved for over-18s, while the gardens, five pools and dining areas belong to the conventional shared hotel.
Nudity policy
Designated nudist rooftop · over 18s
Lopesan explicitly advertises a nudist sun terrace at Abora Catarina’s highest level, reserved for guests over 18. This confirms a designated rooftop nude area within a conventional family hotel, rather than a naturist policy throughout the property.
The nude-area designation does not cover the shared pools, gardens, bars, restaurants, reception or routes through the hotel. Follow reception’s current terrace signs and age restrictions.
Facilities
- Pool: Five freshwater hotel pools are published, including family water-play areas; nude swimming is not confirmed in any of them.
- Restaurant/Cafe: The hotel has restaurants, bars and all-day snack options; these are shared clothed areas.
- Parking: Parking is listed as a paid hotel service; ask reception about current availability and vehicle access.
The nude facility is a separate rooftop sun terrace. Hotel pools and dining are shared facilities; the checked operator pages do not establish nude use there. No terrace shower, sauna or steam room is claimed without confirmation.
Access & visiting
The operator lists the nudist solarium among included hotel services and also sells an official non-resident Day Pass. The checked pass runs from 11:00 to 18:00 and includes shared pool/sunbed facilities, lunch, snacks and drinks. Its terms do not specifically name the nude terrace, so ask the hotel to confirm rooftop access and age eligibility before purchasing a pass for that purpose. An overnight stay is not labelled required.
Age & supervision
The wider hotel welcomes families, but the designated nude rooftop is reserved for over-18s. The Family friendly filter refers to access to this nude area.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Check the hotel’s current terrace hours, weather restrictions and Day Pass availability. The published Day Pass window is 11:00–18:00; this does not establish separate rooftop opening hours.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Use the main reception at Abora Catarina by Lopesan Hotels, Avenida de Tirajana 1, Playa del Inglés. This is the hotel near the southern end of Avenida de Tirajana, not a public beach entrance. Check in with your room reservation or an approved day-visit booking before attempting to reach the rooftop.
Parking
Lopesan lists hotel parking as a charged service. Contact reception before driving to confirm a space, current charges and the correct vehicle entrance; a Day Pass does not establish that parking is included. If using public street parking instead, follow local signs and leave hotel entrances clear.
Finding the naturist area
At reception ask specifically for the over-18s nudist sun terrace on the hotel’s highest level. Staff should give the current internal lift/stair route and any access requirements. The checked current pages identify the roof but do not publish a numbered floor or exact door. Stay dressed through reception, corridors and other shared terraces, and undress only once inside the designated nude area.
Where naturism applies
The verified naturist area is the separate rooftop sun terrace. Do not assume the main pool deck, family water park, restaurant terraces or every area labelled solarium has the same policy. The map pin marks the hotel building rather than the rooftop entrance.
- The operator reserves the nude terrace for over-18s, even though the wider hotel welcomes families.
- Before a day visit, obtain specific confirmation that your pass includes the nude terrace; the generic pass description does not name it.
- The published Day Pass terms require visitors to present identification at reception; ask about current towel arrangements when booking.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
