Europe, Gran Canaria
One of the Geat Gay Resorts of the World
Villas Blancas never fails to impress us. Although one of the longest operating gay resorts in Gran Canaria, it has been continually upgraded and is now a firm favourite with those seeking a touch of luxury. New for Summer 2011 is a completely refurbished restaurant and bar area with new comfy furnishings and a great view of the pool.
Located in a secluded area of Campo de Golf, Villas Blancas resort is perfectly located for a relaxing break but still within walking distance to the gay beach and to the Yumbo nightlife. Or why not ask reception to call a taxi for around €4.
Now merged with the adjoining property to form one resort, there is a choice of one bedroom bungalows (for upto 3 people with a sofa bed); two bedroom for upto 4 people and three bedroom for upto 6 people. All have luxury furnishings and offer twin/double beds, bathroom, sun terrace and fully equipped kitchenette. They also have satellite television, air conditioning, direct line telephones and safes (small fee).
Within the grounds there is the restaurant/bar which serves snacks, meals and drinks throughout the day and late into the night. There are two good sized swimming pools and plenty of sunloungers with one pool designated as quiet with no background music.
Villas Blancas is an intimate resort with a limited number of bungalows. Please do not book your flights unless you have chosen a 1 bedroom (IC) for Monday departures.

Rating and advising on hotels around the world is a tricky business as standards and facilities vary so widely not to mention issues such as décor style, service levels and location with particular relevance to gay amenities.
We don’t pretend that we have got this right but our Pink Triangles are our attempt to give a personal assessment to enable comparisons to be made between the various properties in an area which we feature. Couple this with price and our hotel descriptions and you should be able to make a reasonable assessment.
