A sheltered bay of crystal-clear turquoise water, golden sand and dramatic surrounding cliffs — Playa de Amadores is one of the most photogenic beaches on Gran Canaria, and one of our favourite locations to shoot.
Playa de Amadores is unlike any other beach on the south coast. The sheltered bay keeps the water calm and crystal-clear, the surrounding cliffs frame every shot naturally, and the golden sand reflects the warm Canarian light in a way that makes every image glow.
Whether you wade into the water in a light summer dress, walk along the shoreline at golden hour or simply let the colours of the bay do the work — Amadores delivers images that feel effortless, warm and completely alive.
