Full Day Ticket at Perchel Beach Club with Lunch

A day pass by the Atlantic sounds perfect. At Perchel Beach Club on Gran Canaria, you trade sand-and-heat logistics for infinity pool lounging, a shaded sun setup, and lunch built around rice dishes. It is a straightforward, family-friendly way to spend serious pool time without worrying about finding tables or reservations.

I really like the comfort package: your adult ticket comes with an individual hammock, parasol, and towel, so you can plant yourself for hours. You also get a welcome snack drink, then a lunch that’s more than a token plate.

One key consideration: drinks are not included, and you cannot bring outside food or beverages (with limited exceptions). That can nudge the final cost higher if you like cocktails or want lots of extras during a long day.

Key things to know before you go

• Infinity pool by the Atlantic: the water lines visually blend with the ocean view.
• Lunch is built around rice: you pick a starter, then a rice main (multiple styles) plus dessert.
• Comfort is included for adults: hammock, parasol, and towel come with the ticket.
• No outside food or drinks: except baby purees and compotes, so plan for what you’ll actually eat and sip.
• Open daily in the main daytime window: 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM during the listed season.

Perchel Beach Club: a heat-proof day by the Atlantic

If Gran Canaria has one superpower, it is the way the weather can turn a normal day into a long, slow exhale. Perchel Beach Club leans hard into that idea. It is a beach club experience, but think “pool-and-lounge by the sea” more than “walk onto sand.” You are by the Atlantic, with that big ocean horizon, while the day itself is structured around staying cool, staying comfortable, and eating well.

What makes it interesting is the balance of “do nothing” and “good food.” There is time to spread out in the solarium hammocks, float in the pool, and then actually enjoy lunch that feels like a proper meal—not just a buffet add-on you barely touch.

I also like that the vibe is described as relaxed and family-friendly. This matters because pool days can skew awkward fast: kids everywhere, adults stuck in corners, staff trying to manage chaos. Here, the setup is clearly designed for groups to coexist without everyone feeling on display.

Your full-day ticket in plain terms: hours and how long to plan

The ticket is sold as a full-day pass, but real life still matters. You can usually plan for about 3 to 8 hours depending on your pace and how long you linger between swimming and lunch.

The club’s listed hours for the season are:

• Monday to Sunday: 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM
• This runs from 09/10/2025 to 06/20/2026

So you are not going to wake up at 9 and start your pool day at sunrise. Instead, it’s a late-morning start that fits a typical vacation rhythm: breakfast, a quick check on sun and wind, then you settle in.

You also get a mobile ticket, which is the kind of detail that saves time. No paper wrestling. Confirmation is provided at the time of booking, so you can keep everything simple once you arrive.

Getting there is also easier than some remote beach setups. The club is listed as near public transportation, which is helpful if you do not want to rely entirely on taxis or driving around in the afternoon traffic.

The lunch you get is the whole point: starters, rice mains, dessert

The biggest value lever here is lunch. You are not just buying pool access—you’re paying for a meal experience that is structured and choice-based, with rice at the center.

Your lunch includes a starter you choose from:

• Canary salad
• Croquettes
• Smoked cheese with tomato jam

Then you choose one rice dish. The options listed include:

• Lord
• Meloso de Vegetables
• Iberian
• Valencian
• Black of Chipirón

After the rice, you get dessert.

On top of that, you start the meal flow with a welcome snack drink:

• cava or juice

This is a solid deal when you compare it to the usual “pay for pool, then pay again for lunch and drinks.” Even if you only semi-enjoy one part, you can still walk away feeling like the day ticket covered a meaningful chunk of your spending.

A practical note about portion size

One thing I’d plan for: pool days can come with serious appetite. Some people report that the lunch lineup can feel like a lot to finish. That does not mean it is bad—it just means you might want to go easy on snacks earlier so you have room for the rice and dessert.

Hammocks, parasols, towels: the comfort system that makes it easy

Pool clubs can be stressful. The second you arrive, you start scanning for shade, then you chase towels, then someone tells you the spot you liked is already taken. Perchel Beach Club tries to remove that stress with what’s included.

For adults, the ticket includes:

• Individual hammock
• Parasol
• Towel

That changes how the day feels. You can go from pool to lounge without constantly rearranging your setup or walking back and forth for basics. If you’re traveling as a couple, this creates a clear rhythm. If you’re traveling with family, it makes it easier to keep everyone anchored to one area.

What changes for kids under 12

There’s one important family rule: children under 12 do not include the hammock. The guidance is to share a hammock for each adult.

So if you’re bringing kids, you’ll want to think through who actually spends time lounging versus who stays near the pool. Bring a game plan for rotating shade time, especially if the day is hot and you have little ones who tire quickly.

The infinity pool and why you’ll want to time it right

The headline visual is the infinity pool—the water merges visually with the Atlantic Ocean. That kind of view works at any hour, but it tends to look its best when the sun is lower or the light is softer. If you’re the type who likes to linger for a while, this is the day to do it.

What you do with the pool time is up to you:

• Swim early when the water feels most refreshing
• Then return to your hammock setup once you’ve warmed up
• Use the shade and parasol to reset before lunch

There’s also a general sense of “space” in the setup. Even on a busy day, it’s not the tight, squeeze-everyone-in style that makes you feel like you’re in someone else’s itinerary.

Is it a beach, really?

It’s right by the sea, but some people point out it is not a typical beach scene. If what you imagine is sand, umbrellas on the shoreline, and beach walks, you might feel a mismatch.

If what you imagine is ocean views and a pool day with a lounge-first setup, you’ll probably feel right at home.

Drinks and outside food rules: where the extra cost comes from

Here’s the honest budgeting piece. Drinks are not included in the ticket.

So if you want cocktails by the pool, sparkling water for every swim, or a steady stream of juices all day, you’ll likely end up spending more than the ticket price. The good news is that the welcome drink (cava or juice) gives you a helpful start. The not-so-good news is the rest is on you.

Then there’s the outside food rule:

• Food and beverages are not allowed outside
• Exceptions: baby purees and compotes

That matters even if you’re traveling with kids. Some guests have been frustrated by the no-outside-food approach for small snacks. If you know your kids need tiny bites between courses (cookies, yogurt, fruit), plan to rely on what the club provides instead.

My suggestion for families

If you’re bringing children, treat this as a structured meal-and-snack day. Arrive ready for the included lunch, then plan your expectations around what’s available onsite rather than assuming you can supplement with outside snacks.

Service style: friendly, but setup can affect wait times

The staff experience seems to land in a consistent middle ground: friendly and attentive, but service can slow down when you’re spread out and ordering through a system.

One recurring practical point is that some people find it takes time for waiters to reach them using the interactive system. That’s not a deal-breaker, but it is a reason to do two things:

• Order what you need in fewer trips
• Give yourself buffer time between swimming and lunch

If you’re the type who wants instant service every five minutes, this might frustrate you. If you’re okay with a relaxed rhythm—because honestly, the place is built for that—you’ll likely find the service perfectly fine.

You also may encounter staff members who are particularly communicative. One name that comes up is Eugenio, mentioned as a helpful contact. If you meet him, take the chance to ask questions about the day’s flow.

Rice-focused lunch: what that means for the kind of meal you’ll get

This isn’t generic “we have paella somewhere” lunch. The meal is centered on rice dishes like:

• Meloso de Vegetables
• Iberian
• Valencian
• Black of Chipirón
• plus another listed option: Lord

Why that matters: rice meals are slower to eat, which pairs well with a pool setting. You’re not rushing through tacos between swims—you’re settling in for a warm, filling plate that feels vacation-ish rather than fast-food-ish.

Also, the starter choice (Canary salad, croquettes, or smoked cheese with tomato jam) gives you a way to steer the meal. Want lighter? Salad. Want comfort? Croquettes. Want something savory and a little different? Smoked cheese with tomato jam.

Watch for preference mismatch

Not every rice dish will satisfy every palate. Some people report that the rice they picked wasn’t as good as they hoped. That’s normal with choice-based menus. If you’re picky, pick the dish you already know you like and don’t overthink it.

And if you’re a big eater, expect the portions to be substantial enough that you might not finish every bite without help from a patient hammock nap.

Where this fits best: families, couples, and heat-averse planners

This is a great match if you want:

• a relaxed pool day
• with included lunch
• and a comfort setup that prevents the “where’s shade” scramble

Families

The family vibe is part of the appeal. The included lunch is a clear win when feeding kids and adults in one place. Just remember the hammock rule for kids under 12 and the outside food restriction.

Couples

For couples, the included hammock and parasol setup makes the day feel more like a private lounging session than a public free-for-all. The infinity pool view helps too. If you like pool days with ocean views, this is the right style.

Solo travelers

If you’re traveling alone, this can still work well because the ticket gives you a stable home base: hammock, parasol, towel. You can swim, lounge, eat, and repeat without needing to build a plan around where to sit.

Small “gotchas” that are worth planning for

A few things can affect your experience even when the overall value is high:

• No outside drinks or food: except baby purees and compotes.
• Kids under 12 hammock not included: share one per adult.
• It’s pool-first, beach-light: you’re by the sea, but not getting a classic sand beach setup.
• Lunch choice matters: rice preferences can vary.
• Service may take time: especially if ordering through the interactive system.

None of these ruin the day. They just help you avoid the kind of frustration that comes from assuming a pool club works like a casual beach bar.

Should you book Perchel Beach Club with lunch?

Book it if you want a pool day that’s mostly “arrive, settle in, stay” and you care about getting a real lunch without planning every stop. The combination of the infinity pool, the included comfort setup (hammock, parasol, towel), and the structured rice-and-dessert lunch is where the value lands.

Skip it (or think twice) if you know you will rack up lots of extra spending on drinks, or if your family relies on outside snacks during long hot days. The outside food rule is firm, so plan your eating around what’s included.
