Rooftops in Las Palmas

1. Terraza Belvedere, Boutique Hotel Cordial Plaza Mayor de Santa Ana

This is one of the latest terraces to join the list of rooftops in the capital and is undoubtedly one of the best in the city. The views of Santa Ana Cathedral and Santa Ana Square make this rooftop one of the most romantic in the capital. And when the sun goes down, look at the beautiful colours you can enjoy. This roof terrace is in the heart of Vegueta and has a wide drinks menu that you can combine with a good snack. We highlight its assortment of Canarian and Iberian cheeses, a wide variety of preserves and croquettes of different flavours. They are open from Monday to Friday from 3pm to 11pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 11pm.

2. Alis Rooftop, Hotel Santa Catalina Las Palmas 

On the top floor of the Santa Catalina Hotel, one of the most emblematic hotels in the Canary Islands, you can have a drink on the Alis rooftop. This rooftop is also open every day. They also have live music on Fridays and Saturdays. They don’t have a food or snack menu, but they do have one of the best services in the city, as it is inside the facilities of this excellent five-star hotel.

3. Skybar hotel Lumm

The Lumm hotel was the last to join the accommodation offer in the capital of Gran Canaria. It is located in the port area, right next to the Santa Catalina park and the cruise terminal. It is a terrace to have a drink mainly, although in its Sky Bar De Bote en bote you can also order the classic Spanish tapas to accompany your drink.

4. Rocktop La Peregrina, Boutique Hotel Cordial La Peregrina

In the heart of the Triana neighborhood we find this small boutique hotel. On the top floor it has a roof terrace with views of the library in Las Ranas square. It also has a swimming pool, so the environment is very pleasant. They open every afternoon from 4:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

5. Rooftop Taj, hotel Silken Saaj

This hotel is located in front of Las Alcaravaneras beach, so its rooftop has the best views of this beach and the Port of Las Palmas as you can see below. On weekends they usually have live music and some Sundays they have a brunch!

6. IBEX Rooftop Bar, Hotel Bex Design Plus

On the top floor of the Design + BEX hotel we find another of the coolest rooftops in the capital.

On Saturdays and Sundays they have live music from 18:00, either saxophonist or pianist.
