Private photoshoot
The protected dune field, the lighthouse and the lagoon, on the south coast
The Maspalomas dunes are the reason most people photograph in Gran Canaria. Four hundred hectares of pale, wind-formed sand sitting between the resorts and the sea, protected as a nature reserve, and completely unlike anywhere else in Europe. The dune field runs from the Playa del Inglés end down to the Faro de Maspalomas, the nineteenth-century lighthouse at the island's southern tip. At the western edge is La Charca, a brackish lagoon backed by a palm grove. The sand holds ridges and shadow lines that only appear when the sun is low, which is why these sessions run early or late rather than in the middle of the day. Walk a few minutes in from the boardwalk and there is no building in any direction. The reserve is protected, so your photographer works from the permitted access routes and the open beach rather than crossing the restricted interior.

Maspalomas photoshoot FAQ
How much does a Maspalomas photoshoot in Gran Canaria cost?
A 30-minute Maspalomas photoshoot in Gran Canaria costs €59 and includes 20 edited photographs. Published packages range from €59 to €199.
What time of day should we book?
Early morning or the last two hours before sunset. The dunes are south-facing and almost featureless under a high sun; when the light is low the ridges throw long shadows and the sand turns warm. Midday also means hot sand underfoot.
Are we allowed to walk on the dunes?
The dune field is a protected nature reserve with marked access routes and restricted areas. Your photographer knows which routes are open and will keep to them — which is no limitation at all, because a few minutes along a permitted corridor already puts you out of sight of the resorts.
What should we wear?
The sand is pale cream and the sky is usually cloudless, so strong single colours and flowing fabric both work extremely well — red, cobalt, deep green. White can disappear against bright sand. There is almost always a north-easterly breeze, which is good news for anything that moves. Go barefoot or bring sandals; shoes fill with sand in a minute.
Is it suitable for families and older relatives?
Yes, if we stay near the boardwalk and the beach, which still gives you open sand in every direction. Walking far into the dunes is hard going for small children and anyone unsteady, so tell us who is coming and the route will be planned around it. Parts of the dune field are used by naturists, and your photographer will choose a route that avoids them.
When is the best time of year?
Any month. The south of Gran Canaria sits between twenty and twenty-six degrees all year with very little rain, which is the whole point of the island. November to March has the lowest sun and the longest shadows on the sand, and is the strongest season for these photographs.
