Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch
The main draw here is simple: an infinity pool facing the Atlantic, paired with a proper lunch rather than the usual snack-bar fare. You can spend a slow day on a hammock, swim with the ocean in view, and choose a rice dish such as Valencian, Iberian, vegetable, or black rice with chipirón.
I like the comfortable adult setup, which includes a hammock, parasol, and towel, and I like that lunch includes a starter, a substantial rice course, and dessert. The setting feels made for a hot day when sightseeing sounds like hard work.
The catch is price. At $91.34 per person, this is not a cheap pool day, and drinks are extra. Children under 12 do not receive their own hammock, and outside food is not allowed apart from baby purées and compotes.
Key points to know before you book

- Atlantic-facing infinity pool: The pool gives you the club’s signature view, with water that visually runs toward the sea.
- A full rice-based lunch: Choose a starter, one of several rice dishes, and dessert rather than settling for a light poolside meal.
- Adult comfort is built in: Each adult receives an individual hammock, parasol, and towel.
- A good family and couple option: There is room to relax, with a calm atmosphere and enough space for groups.
- Plan for extra drink costs: The welcome cava or juice is included, but other drinks are not.
- Allow three to eight hours: You can make this a short afternoon stop or spend most of the club’s 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. opening period there.
The Atlantic setting at Perchel Beach Club

Perchel Beach Club is designed as a day of leisure rather than a quick swim. The pool area faces the Atlantic, and the infinity edge creates the visual trick that the water continues into the sea. That view is the reason to come.
The club does not have a traditional beach. You get a pool, solarium, hammocks, and ocean views instead. If your ideal beach day means walking on sand and stepping directly into the sea, this will not replace it. If you want a controlled pool setting with a polished feel, it makes more sense.
The clear Gran Canaria weather is part of the appeal. You can settle into your hammock under a parasol, use the included towel, and let the day move at an unhurried pace. The setting also works well near sunset, when the Atlantic view becomes more dramatic.
The club suits people who want comfort without a packed sightseeing schedule. I would not book it as an add-on between several major attractions. Give it at least several hours so the pool, lunch, and rest time feel worth the cost.

What your full-day ticket includes
Your admission covers the infinity pool and an adult’s individual hammock, parasol, and towel. That matters because the basic comforts are already arranged. You are not paying an entry fee and then discovering that every place to sit costs more.
The ticket also begins with a welcome drink, either cava or juice. It is a small touch, but it sets the tone for a leisurely day. After that, the main value comes from lunch.
The meal includes:
- A starter choice of Canary salad, croquettes, or smoked cheese with tomato jam
- One rice dish
- Dessert
The rice choices include Lord, meloso de Vegetables, Iberian, Valencian, and black rice with chipirón. Menu wording and options can change, with alternatives of equal or greater value possible, so you should treat the exact selection as flexible.
The portion size appears generous. A salad starter can be surprisingly large, and the lunch is substantial enough to make this feel like a meal package rather than a token inclusion. That is useful when you are planning to spend much of the day at the club.
Drinks beyond the welcome beverage are not included. Cocktails and other drinks can add quickly to the final cost, so keep that in mind when comparing this ticket with a simple pool admission.
Choosing your rice and starter

The food is centered on rice, and that focus gives the lunch a stronger identity than a generic club menu. Valencian rice offers a familiar choice, while Iberian rice gives you a meatier direction. The vegetable meloso is the obvious pick if you want something without meat or seafood.
Black rice with chipirón is the more distinctive option. Chipirón is small squid, and the dark rice gets its color from squid ink. If you enjoy seafood, it is worth considering. If you prefer mild, familiar food, choose accordingly.
The starter choice changes the size and character of the meal. Canary salad is a sensible pick on a warm day, but it may be more filling than you expect. Croquettes are a comforting choice, while smoked cheese with tomato jam offers something more local in feel.
The menu is not designed for endless customization. One criticism of the lunch arrangement is that there may be more food than some people can finish, while the rice choice is limited to the listed options. If you are a light eater, the value may feel less convincing than it does to someone who wants a full meal included.
Dessert completes the three-course lunch. The exact dessert is not specified, so do not book this expecting a particular sweet.
A practical day by the pool

The published opening period runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., every day, for bookings from September 10, 2025, through June 20, 2026. Your experience can last about three to eight hours, depending on how long you choose to stay.
That timing gives you several workable plans. Arrive around opening for the longest pool session, come after lunch for a shorter afternoon, or stay into the evening for the changing Atlantic light. The ticket is more useful to a flexible schedule than to someone trying to squeeze in a tightly timed activity.
I like the fact that the package does not force you into a guided schedule. You are not moving from one stop to another or watching the clock for a departure. The day is built around your own pace.
The club is near public transportation, and a mobile ticket is provided. Confirmation arrives at booking. The available information does not specify a particular meeting procedure, transport route, or parking arrangement, so check the confirmation carefully before setting out.
The experience is suitable for most people, and service animals are allowed. No special fitness is required for the pool and solarium format, though the information provided does not describe every facility or access detail.

Hammocks, children, and families

Families can make good use of the club, especially if adults want a comfortable base beside the pool. The space offers room to spread out, and the setting is less demanding than a full day of sightseeing with young children.
There is one important rule. The ticket price for children under 12 does not include a hammock. A child shares a hammock with an adult, with one hammock provided for each adult. If your group includes several children and fewer adults, plan around that limitation.
Outside food and drinks are not allowed, except for baby purées and compotes. This rule has caused frustration for parents who want to bring simple snacks, biscuits, yogurt, or water for young children. If you are coming with toddlers, pack only the permitted baby foods and confirm the policy before arrival.
The restriction is particularly important because a pool day can make children hungry. You can use the included lunch, but you should not assume you can supplement it with your own snacks. This is one of the clearest practical drawbacks for families.
For couples and groups of friends, the rules are less likely to matter. You can focus on the pool, lunch, and drinks without carrying a full picnic.
Service and the pace of lunch

The staff receive strong praise for being friendly and attentive. Specific positive comments highlight a staff member named Eugenio, described as warm, helpful, and attentive without hovering. That is exactly the balance you want at a relaxed pool club.
Service is not always fast. The club uses an interactive system for requesting waiters, and it can take time for someone to reach your hammock. That is not a major problem if you are settled in for the day, but it matters if you are trying to order quickly before lunch or arrange several drinks at once.
I would treat the service as part of the slow pace rather than expecting restaurant-speed attention. Keep your phone or request device close, and place orders before you urgently need them. Drinks served to the hammocks are convenient, but the cost is separate from the ticket.
The general atmosphere is family-friendly without being described as rowdy. Music volume and cocktail prices have received positive attention, though your experience may depend on the day and the club’s current operation.
Is $91.34 good value?

At $91.34 per person, the ticket sits in the indulgence category. You are paying for the setting, the pool access, the reserved adult comfort, the towel and parasol, the welcome drink, and a full lunch.
The value improves if you use the club for six to eight hours and would otherwise pay separately for a good meal, a pool chair, and drinks. It is less attractive if you plan to stay only three hours, skip most of lunch, or spend the rest of the day elsewhere.
The included rice meal helps. A full starter, rice course, and dessert can make the price feel reasonable, especially when the portions are generous. The pool and ocean view do the rest of the work.
Still, this is more expensive than other pool options on Gran Canaria. The price is justified only if you care about a polished setting and want a complete, easy day. If you are mainly looking for somewhere to swim, a simpler option may suit you better.
Remember to budget for drinks. The welcome cava or juice is included, but cocktails and other beverages are not. A paid massage or spa treatment is also separate from this ticket, even though those services may be available at the club.
How long should you stay?

Three hours is enough for a swim, some hammock time, and lunch. It is the minimum sensible visit if you want to feel you received something for the admission price.
Five or six hours gives you a better balance. You can settle in, eat without rushing, swim again, and spend time in the solarium. This is the length I would aim for if the club is a main part of your day.
Up to eight hours works for serious relaxation. You can arrive at 11 a.m., take lunch at an unhurried pace, and stay through the afternoon toward the 7 p.m. closing time. The late light over the Atlantic is one of the more appealing details of the setting.
Do not assume the ticket includes every possible club facility for the whole day. The listed inclusions are the pool, hammock setup for adults, towel, welcome drink, and lunch with dessert. Spa treatments, extra drinks, and anything beyond those inclusions should be treated as additional purchases.
Who should book this experience?
I would recommend Perchel Beach Club to couples, families with older children, and friends who want a comfortable pool day with a good meal built in. It is also a useful choice after several active days on Gran Canaria, when you want a day with no complicated plan.
It suits you best if:
- You value ocean views more than a sandy beach
- You expect to stay several hours
- You enjoy rice dishes and a substantial lunch
- You want an adult hammock, parasol, and towel included
- You are comfortable paying extra for drinks
- You prefer a relaxed club setting to a public pool
I would be more cautious if you are traveling with very young children who need frequent snacks. The outside-food rule is strict apart from baby purées and compotes. I would also skip it if you want direct beach access or a low-cost swim.
The strong overall score of 4.8 from 316 ratings and a 93 percent recommendation rate fit the experience’s main strengths: the setting, the pool, the food, and the friendly service. The less positive points are practical rather than dramatic: the price, slow waiter response at times, the no-outside-food rule, and the fact that the club has no beach.
Booking and cancellation details
This experience is commonly booked about 18 days ahead, so it is sensible to reserve before your holiday if your dates are fixed. You receive confirmation at the time of booking, and the ticket works on a mobile device.
Free cancellation is available until 24 hours before the experience start time for a full refund. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours ahead are not accepted for a refund, and the cut-off follows local time.
The provider is Perchel Beach Club. Check the confirmation for the exact arrival instructions, since the supplied information gives the opening hours but not a detailed arrival process.
Should you book Perchel Beach Club?
Book it if you want a polished Atlantic pool day with lunch already arranged. The infinity pool, hammock setup, welcome drink, and generous rice meal make this more than simple admission, especially when you stay most of the day.
Skip it if you are searching for a sandy beach, watching every euro, or bringing your own food for small children. At $91.34, the experience earns its price through comfort and atmosphere, not through bargain value. For a relaxed Gran Canaria day where the view matters as much as the swim, it is a solid choice.
