Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch

Perchel Beach Club turns a hot day in southern Gran Canaria into an easy pool-and-lunch escape. The main draw is the infinity pool facing the Atlantic, backed by comfortable hammocks, parasols, and a calm club setting rather than a packed public beach.

I like the useful all-in-one setup: your ticket includes a hammock, towel, welcome drink, and a full three-course lunch. I also like the food focus, especially the choice of rice dishes and local ingredients. The catch is price. At $91.34 per person, this is a treat, not a cheap pool day, and drinks beyond cava or juice are extra.

The club is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the listed season, September 10, 2025, through June 20, 2026. You can stay roughly 3 to 8 hours, so plan it as a relaxed half-day or most of a day.

Key points to know before booking

• Atlantic-facing infinity pool: The pool gives you the club’s best visual feature, with water that appears to run toward the ocean.
• Lunch is a full meal: Pick a starter, one of five rice dishes, and dessert. Portions may be generous.
• Your hammock setup is included: Adults receive an individual hammock, parasol, and towel.
• Drinks cost extra: The included welcome drink is cava or juice, but other drinks are not part of the ticket.
• Children have different hammock terms: Children under 12 do not receive their own hammock and share one with an adult.
• Food rules matter: Outside food and drinks are not allowed, except baby purées and compotes.

The main attraction is the Atlantic-facing pool

Perchel Beach Club is built around a simple holiday idea: settle beside the sea, swim when you like, eat a proper lunch, and stop checking the clock. The infinity pool is the visual centerpiece. Its edge lines up with the Atlantic, giving you open views while you float or sit at the water’s edge.

This is not a beach day in the usual sense. One important detail is that the club does not have a beach, so you should book it for the pool, sun beds, food, and setting rather than sand and sea swimming. If your ideal afternoon means walking straight onto a natural beach, this may not be the right choice.

The pool water has been praised for its comfortable temperature, and the pool area includes plenty of room for hammocks and parasols. That matters on a long, sunny day. You are not paying only for a swim, you are paying for a place to settle in without having to arrange each part separately.

The club’s setting works especially well at sunset. The opening hours run until 7 p.m., giving you a chance to stay through the softer evening light, depending on the date and closing conditions. The sunset view is one of the reasons the experience feels more special than an ordinary hotel pool pass.

Your hammock, parasol, and towel keep the day simple

For adults, the ticket includes an individual hammock, parasol, and towel. That is a practical advantage. You do not need to organize a lounger separately, and the parasol gives you a way to take breaks from the sun without leaving the pool area.

I would treat the hammock as part of the value calculation. If you plan to spend only an hour swimming, the price may feel steep. If you stay for several hours, eat lunch, use the pool, and watch the light change over the ocean, the package makes more sense.

Families should pay attention to the age rule. Children under 12 do not receive their own hammock. They share a hammock with an adult, so count the number of adults and children before booking. The club is designed for families as well as couples and groups, but the seating arrangement may feel less generous if everyone wants a separate place to stretch out.

A welcome drink is also included, either cava or juice. It is a small touch, but it gets the visit started pleasantly. Do not assume it covers drinks for the rest of the day. Cocktails, water, soft drinks, and other beverages are not included in the listed price.

Lunch centers on generous rice dishes

Lunch is more than a snack beside the pool. Your meal includes a starter, a rice dish, and dessert. Starter choices are a Canary salad, croquettes, or smoked cheese with tomato jam.

The Canary salad is the sensible choice if you want something fresh before a substantial main course. The croquettes suit a more classic snack-style lunch, while smoked cheese with tomato jam gives you a taste of a local-style combination. The menu is subject to change, but alternatives should be of equal or greater value.

For the main course, you choose among several rice dishes:

• Lord rice
• Meloso vegetable rice
• Iberian rice
• Valencian rice
• Black rice with chipirón

The range gives you different directions. The vegetable version is the lighter choice, while Iberian and Valencian rice should appeal if you want a heartier plate. Black rice with chipirón brings a stronger seafood character. If you are unsure, ask the restaurant staff about the day’s best option before choosing.

Portions can be large. One meal account describes the three-course lunch as very good in both quality and quantity, with the salad in particular being more substantial than expected. That is useful to know because this is not a small poolside tasting menu. If you are a light eater, you may find the full lunch more than you need.

The lunch is one of the strongest reasons to compare this package with a simple pool entry. You receive a proper meal rather than needing to leave the club to find food. At the same time, the price may feel less attractive if you do not care much about the included menu or if your preferred rice dish does not suit you.

Service is friendly, but ordering can take patience

The service has received strong praise for being warm and attentive. Staff members have been described as friendly without hovering, which is exactly the right balance for a pool day. A staff member named Eugenio was singled out for being especially helpful and attentive without becoming intrusive.

Food and drinks can be ordered from your place using an interactive system. This is convenient in theory because you do not have to abandon your hammock or search for a server. In practice, the response can take time. If you are hungry, order before you are desperate for lunch, and leave a little patience in your schedule.

That small delay is worth bearing in mind if you have young children or a tightly planned afternoon. The club is best enjoyed at an unhurried pace. It is not built for a quick meal between timed sightseeing stops.

The front desk may also be a little light on information, so ask clearly about your lunch choices, included items, and the day’s arrangements when you arrive. A quick check at the start can prevent confusion later.

Families need to plan around the food policy

The club welcomes families, and the spacious pool area can work well for parents, children, and grandparents. The relaxed setting, included lunch, and room around the hammocks make it easier than trying to coordinate a separate beach, restaurant, and sun-lounger plan.

But the outside-food rule is strict. Food and beverages cannot be brought in, except for baby purées and compotes. This has caused problems for parents hoping to bring simple snacks such as biscuits, yogurt, or a bottle of water for small children.

That rule is important enough to shape your decision. If your child needs familiar snacks throughout the day, confirm what is allowed before you go. The included lunch may be plentiful, but it does not replace every child’s preferred food. Babies have the stated exception for purées and compotes, but older children do not have the same allowance.

Service animals are allowed, and most people can take part. The club is near public transportation, though no particular route or transfer details are provided, so check your journey from your accommodation before setting out.

How long should you stay?

The experience is listed as lasting about 3 to 8 hours. I would allow at least half a day if you want the ticket to feel worthwhile. Three hours gives you time for the pool and lunch, but the club makes more sense when you slow down and use the hammock for a while afterward.

An eight-hour stay is possible within the stated duration, though the opening hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. That means the practical day is shaped by the club’s schedule. Arriving near opening gives you the most time, while a later arrival may work if you mainly want lunch, a swim, and sunset light.

Think about your other Gran Canaria plans. This is not an efficient add-on to a packed sightseeing day. It is a destination for rest. If you have spent the morning hiking, exploring towns, or touring the island, this can be a comfortable change of pace. If you are trying to fit in several attractions, you may not enjoy it fully.

Is $91.34 good value?

The price is $91.34 per person. That is high for a pool day, especially since drinks are not included. You should compare the cost with what you would otherwise spend on a quality lunch, a comfortable hammock or lounger, towel use, and several hours in a well-kept pool setting.

The package becomes easier to justify if you use all its parts. The welcome drink, individual adult hammock, parasol, towel, pool access, and three-course lunch create a full day package rather than a simple admission ticket. The large lunch portions also help, provided you like the available rice dishes.

The value is weaker for a short visit, a light eater, or someone who plans to order several cocktails. A cocktail-heavy day can push the final bill above the ticket price, since drinks are extra. Families also need to factor in the hammock arrangement for children under 12.

My practical test is simple: if you want a polished pool setting with lunch and a sea view, the price can be fair for a special occasion. If you only need somewhere to swim for an hour or two, look for a less complete and less expensive option.

Who will enjoy Perchel Beach Club most?

I would recommend this experience to couples wanting a low-effort day with a good meal, families who value comfort and space, and friends who want to spend time together without planning every detail. It also suits anyone who would rather enjoy the Atlantic view from a pool than deal with sand, waves, and beach equipment.

The atmosphere is described as family-friendly, with music at a comfortable volume and enough room for people to relax. That makes it more flexible than a loud party pool, though you should not expect complete silence.

Food-focused visitors will get more from the ticket than people who see lunch as an afterthought. The rice menu is central to the experience, and the quality and quantity have drawn strong praise. Ask about the current menu because dishes can change.

I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a natural beach, a budget activity, or unrestricted snacks for children. I would also think twice if you dislike waiting for poolside service or plan to spend only a short time on site.

Booking, timing, and cancellation details

The ticket is mobile, and confirmation is provided when you book. The experience is available Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the listed operating period, September 10, 2025, through June 20, 2026.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the experience are not refunded, and late changes are not accepted. The cutoff follows local time in Gran Canaria.

The experience is booked an average of 18 days in advance, so I would not leave a popular holiday date until the last minute. Check the final menu and child arrangements when booking, especially if you are traveling with young children.

Should you book this pool day?

Book Perchel Beach Club if you want a comfortable, polished day built around an infinity pool, an Atlantic view, and a substantial rice lunch. The best value comes from staying several hours and using the hammock, parasol, towel, pool, welcome drink, and full meal.

Skip it if you want a real beach, a low-cost swim, or freedom to bring your own snacks and drinks. For everyone else, this is a strong choice for a relaxed Gran Canaria day, with the main cautions being the price, extra drink costs, and the occasional wait for poolside service.
