Perchel Beach Club gives you a polished pool day beside the Atlantic, with an infinity pool, sun loungers, and a three-course lunch included in the $91.34 price. The pool seems to run straight into the sea, and the setting works just as well for a quiet couple’s day as it does for a family outing.

I especially like the reserved adult hammock, parasol, and towel, since you are not left hunting for a place to sit. I also like that lunch is more substantial than a quick poolside snack: you choose a starter, a rice dish, and dessert. The main catch is cost. Drinks are extra, children under 12 do not receive their own hammock, and outside food is not allowed except baby purées and compotes.

Key points to know before you book

Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch - Key points to know before you book

  • The infinity pool faces the Atlantic: You get the visual effect of swimming toward the sea, with a broad open view from the pool area.
  • Lunch centers on rice dishes: Choose from options including Valencian rice, Iberian rice, vegetable meloso, or black rice with chipirón.
  • Adults receive a hammock setup: The package includes one adult hammock, parasol, and towel. Children under 12 share an adult hammock.
  • The day can last three to eight hours: Opening hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., so you can make this a relaxed half-day or stay until sunset.
  • Drinks are not part of the meal: Your welcome cava or juice is included, but other beverages add to the final bill.
  • It suits families and couples: There is room to spread out, but waiter response through the interactive ordering system can be slow at busy times.

A polished pool day on Gran Canaria’s southern coast

Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch - A polished pool day on Gran Canaria’s southern coast

Perchel Beach Club is designed for people who want their swimming day to come with comfort and service. You are not simply renting access to a public pool. Your ticket combines pool entry, a place to lie down, a towel, a welcome drink, and lunch in one package.

The central feature is the infinity pool. From the water, the edge visually meets the Atlantic, giving the club its main sense of occasion. You can swim, sit in the pool, or move to the solarium and spend the afternoon under a parasol.

The setting is especially appealing on a hot day. Gran Canaria is known for dependable sunshine, and this experience makes the weather part of the plan rather than something you work around. Bring sunscreen and a swimsuit, then settle into a slow afternoon instead of rushing from one sight to another.

The club is open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. between September 10, 2025 and June 20, 2026. That schedule gives you plenty of flexibility. Arrive near opening for the longest pool time, or come later and stay for the changing light toward sunset.

What your ticket actually includes

The package is easy to understand once you separate the included items from the extras. Each adult receives access to the infinity pool, an individual hammock, parasol, and towel. You also receive a welcome drink, either cava or juice.

Lunch includes one starter, one rice dish, and dessert. The starter choices are:

  • Canary salad
  • Croquettes
  • Smoked cheese with tomato jam

For the main course, you can choose among several rice preparations:

  • Lord rice
  • Vegetable meloso
  • Iberian rice
  • Valencian rice
  • Black rice with chipirón

The precise menu composition can change, with alternatives of equal or greater value possible. That matters if you have your heart set on one particular dish. Ask about the available choices when you arrive rather than assuming every option will be served that day.

The meal is reported as generous in size, especially the salad starter. I would treat lunch as a proper midday meal, not something you need to supplement with outside snacks. The food is one of the stronger reasons to consider the package, particularly if you enjoy rice dishes and want more than fries or a sandwich beside the pool.

Drinks beyond the welcome beverage are not included. Cocktails and other drinks can make the day noticeably more expensive, so keep that in mind when comparing this ticket with a simpler pool entrance.

The infinity pool and solarium

Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch - The infinity pool and solarium

The pool is the heart of the experience. Its edge creates a clean visual line toward the Atlantic, and the view is likely to be most impressive when the sun is lower. The pool water has been praised for its comfortable temperature, which is useful if you plan to spend more time in the water than on the hammock.

The solarium provides the other half of the day. Your hammock and parasol give you a defined place to read, nap, or dry off without constantly looking for an empty lounger. A towel is included for adults, another small convenience that saves space in your luggage.

The atmosphere aims for relaxed luxury rather than a rough-and-ready beach stop. The music volume has been described positively, and the area offers enough room for families and groups to feel comfortable. The experience can feel indulgent without requiring a full resort stay.

There is one important wording issue to understand: despite the name, this is not a beach where you walk onto a broad stretch of sand. The pool is beside the Atlantic, but the club does not have a traditional beach. If direct sea access is essential, choose a real beach day instead.

Lunch at the rice restaurant

Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch - Lunch at the rice restaurant

Lunch gives the ticket more value than a pool-only visit, but your enjoyment will depend partly on your rice choice. The menu covers several styles, from vegetable meloso to Iberian and Valencian versions, plus black rice with chipirón.

The food is presented as a main part of the club’s identity, with an emphasis on rice and many products sourced from nearby. A three-course meal also changes the rhythm of the day. You can swim first, sit down for lunch, then return to the pool or hammock without arranging a separate restaurant visit.

Portions appear generous. A large starter and a substantial rice dish may be more than you expect after a morning in the sun. Pace yourself, especially if you plan to swim again. One visitor found the meal too large and was not pleased with the rice choice, so ordering thoughtfully matters.

If you are unsure about the menu, ask which rice dishes are best that day. The package allows a starter and rice selection, but it does not promise unlimited choice across the restaurant menu. It is worth clarifying what falls within the included meal before ordering extras.

Dessert completes the included lunch. The available dessert is not specified in the supplied details, so do not book this expecting a particular sweet.

Service, ordering, and the small delays to expect

Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch - Service, ordering, and the small delays to expect

Staff service is generally part of the club’s appeal. The experience has received strong marks overall, with a 4.8 rating from 316 reviews and 93 percent of visitors recommending it. The warmest praise centers on friendly attention, good food, the pool, and the setting.

There is a practical wrinkle. The club uses an interactive system for calling or requesting waiter service, and response times can be slow. That is not a major problem if you are content to relax, but it can become irritating when you want another drink or need something quickly.

I would place your main lunch order early and avoid assuming that every request will be handled immediately. The included meal is planned, but extra drinks and poolside food depend on service availability. If you want a smooth, unhurried day, keep your schedule open rather than planning a tight activity afterward.

One staff member named in the feedback is Eugenio, who was praised for being attentive without hovering. That is the kind of service this setting needs: present when useful, quiet when you are trying to relax.

Is $91.34 good value?

Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch - Is $91.34 good value?

At $91.34 per person, this is not the cheapest way to swim in Gran Canaria. You are paying for the setting, the comfort of a reserved adult hammock, the towel and parasol, the welcome drink, and a full lunch.

The value improves if you plan to stay for several hours and would otherwise pay separately for lunch, seating, and pool access. It also works better for adults who want a calm, organized day rather than a basic public pool or open beach.

The price is less attractive if you do not care about reserved seating, if you plan to stay only a short time, or if you expect several cocktails. Drinks are extra, and families with children need to account for the hammock arrangement. Children under 12 do not receive a separate hammock, so one adult and one child may need to share.

For a couple, the package can feel like a special day out. For a family, the total cost rises quickly, but the included meal and space may make it easier than arranging lunch for everyone elsewhere.

A good fit for families, couples, and slow afternoons

Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch - A good fit for families, couples, and slow afternoons

This experience is best for you if you want to stop sightseeing for a day and settle into one comfortable place. Couples can use the pool, solarium, lunch, and sunset hours for a low-effort day together. The setting also works for friends who want a social pool day without giving up table service and a proper meal.

Families can participate, and most people can take part. Service animals are allowed, and the club is near public transportation. The supplied information does not give a detailed accessibility breakdown, so contact the provider directly if you need specific information about pool access, changing areas, or mobility equipment.

The food rule is strict: outside food and drinks are not allowed, apart from baby purées and compotes. This matters for parents of small children. Pack only what the policy permits, and do not assume that biscuits, yogurt, or bottled water will be accepted at the entrance.

The experience is less suited to anyone seeking a natural beach, a quiet no-service pool, or a low-cost swim. It is also not ideal if you want to bring a picnic or control every part of your meal.

Timing your visit for the best day

Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch - Timing your visit for the best day

You have a broad window from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The simplest plan is to arrive late morning, claim your setup, enjoy the pool before lunch, eat during the middle of the day, then return to the solarium.

A shorter three-hour visit can still work if you mainly want the pool and lunch. An extended stay makes the price easier to justify because you have time to use the hammock, towel, parasol, pool, and meal rather than rushing through them.

Sunset is a particularly appealing time to remain on site. The Atlantic-facing setting takes on a different mood as the light softens, and the later hours let you turn lunch into a full afternoon and evening-style outing. Check the local closing time when planning, since the stated hours end at 7 p.m.

The experience is booked about 18 days ahead on average. That is not a guarantee of availability, but it suggests you should not leave a preferred date until the last minute, especially if you are visiting during a busy period.

Booking details worth knowing

You receive confirmation at the time of booking, and the ticket is mobile, so you can keep it on your phone. The cancellation policy is forgiving if your plans change: cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time for a full refund.

Cancellations made less than 24 hours ahead are not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted. Plan around the weather and your transport, but remember that the club’s attraction is the generally sunny climate and its sheltered pool setting.

Before you arrive, check the menu choices and remember that the included drink is only cava or juice. Budget separately for other beverages, and make sure children’s food needs fit the outside-food rule.

Should you book Perchel Beach Club?

Book it if you want a comfortable, food-inclusive pool day with Atlantic views, a warm-water infinity pool, and a reserved place to relax. The package makes the most sense when you stay for much of the afternoon and treat the rice lunch as a real meal, not a small extra.

Think twice if you want sand and direct sea swimming, need to bring snacks for young children, or are watching every euro. The $91.34 price can be fair for a full day of comfort, but drinks and family seating arrangements need to be part of your calculation.

For a couple, a small group, or a family happy to follow the club’s food policy, Perchel Beach Club offers an easy day with little planning once you arrive. Just allow time for waiter service, choose your rice dish carefully, and do not confuse the pool beside the sea with a traditional beach.
