Club Torso

Small resort reserved for adult gay men, with a dozen bungalows gathered around a heated saltwater pool, in a residential area of Maspalomas: the dunes and beaches are a few minutes' walk away, the Yumbo Centre in Playa del Inglés three minutes by taxi. The complex is screened from view and dress is free: you can be nude or dressed, and in practice most guests choose to be nude. The bungalows have a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom with a double bed and a private terrace; the buffet breakfast is included when booking through the website, and the poolside bar and bistro, open until 20:00, is the meeting point. There are a gym, a sauna and, in the basement, a playroom with adult videos open day and night, while sex is forbidden in the pool, in the hot tub and in the shared areas. Solo travellers are welcome, with a small discount rather than a supplement, and find themselves among couples and friends; neither pets nor day visitors are accepted. Guests particularly appreciate the staff, the cleanliness and the sociable atmosphere; the weak points mentioned are the noise that can be heard from some rooms and the reception being closed in the evening: between 20:00 and 8:00 you can only get in by booking the airport transfer, and someone who was ten minutes late spent the night in the car.
