Gorbea — naturist sun terrace
San Agustín, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
A separate naturist sunbathing section tucked onto a mainstream hotel’s panoramic rooftop terrace. The rooftop setting opens up views over San Agustín and towards the Maspalomas dunes.
Nudity policy
Separate naturist zone only
The operator confirms a separate area for naturists on the top-floor solarium terrace. Naturism is limited to that section; the whole hotel, restaurant, shared rooftop pool and terrace are not described as naturist.
Exact internal boundary and any area-specific cover requirements should be confirmed at reception.
Facilities
- Pool: Shared rooftop pool; not confirmed textile-free. Naturism is limited to the separate sun terrace.
- Restaurant/Cafe: Shared rooftop bar and restaurant; clothed use.
- Parking: Hotel guest parking; non-residents should confirm availability.
Gorbea also has a shared rooftop pool and chill-out bar. Their presence does not mean the shared pool or bar is textile-free. Loungers and rooftop access carry a charge.
Access & visiting
The hotel's Gorbea terrace information explicitly provides a reception sales point for non-residents and identifies a nudist area. Ask reception for rooftop access, the current tariff and the separate naturist section. The rooftop pool and loungers are restricted to guests over 16; this does not establish that the shared pool is naturist. Do not assume a general hotel day-pass includes this rooftop area.
Age & supervision
Under 18 admission to the actual naturist area/session was not explicitly confirmed in the checked primary evidence. Confirm directly before planning a visit with a younger guest.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Confirm current rooftop access and weather-dependent operation with reception.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Go to the main lobby and reception of Gloria Palace San Agustín, C/ Las Margaritas s/n, 35100 San Agustín. The operator lists a public bus stop about 300 metres away and a taxi rank at the hotel. The map pin identifies the hotel, not a separate street entrance to the naturist terrace.
Parking
The hotel lists free private parking for guests, and the Gorbea restaurant page also advertises free parking. Parking entitlement for a non-resident rooftop-only visit is not separately explained, so ask reception which spaces you may use before leaving the car.
Finding the naturist area
At reception, ask specifically for the Gorbea naturist area (zona nudista) and confirm access, the current charge and any age conditions. Reception is the official sales point for non-residents. Staff should direct you to the top-floor solarium and its separate naturist section; the main swimming pools in the hotel gardens are not the area listed here.
Where naturism applies
Stay clothed in the lobby, lifts and shared hotel spaces until staff have identified the designated naturist section. The operator confirms a separate naturist area, not a nude hotel or an entirely textile-free rooftop. The shared rooftop pool, bar and restaurant must not be assumed to allow nudity.
- The published rooftop pool and sunbed offer is for guests over 16. Confirm whether any additional conditions apply to the naturist section.
- The Gorbea restaurant is advertised on the ninth floor with a panoramic lift from the street; restaurant access alone does not establish access to the separate naturist section.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-10. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
