The golden hour — roughly 1 hour before sunset — gives the most beautiful warm, soft light on the beach. We always recommend timing your session around sunset for the most magical results. We plan the exact time based on your shoot date.
Playa del Inglés is approximately 40 minutes by car from Gran Canaria Airport (LPA). There is free parking available near the beach, making it easy to reach directly from your hotel.
