What's new in general?
Confirmed updates
Jump to: pending confirmation
- Improved Pre-Carnival programme with a longer Bear Wellness experience, new Bear Day at Basement and a Bear Cruising pre-party.
- New theme: “sportsmen”. This includes several themed events around sports and games:
- Bear Olympics: a fun day at the gay beach with games and prizes. Includes introduction and demostrations to different beach sports and fun games.
- New “Sportsmen” carnival party with a sportswear, teams, singlets or lycra suggested dresscode. Includes open-air dancing and animation.
- Adventure Days. Several one day beginner-friendly programmes for our bears including hiking, scuba diving, surfing, kayaking…
- Bears in Jockstraps hot night
- Mini-golf Open
- Recently expanded venues: Noxon and Tom’s now feature much larger terraces, allowing us to compensate for recent Kiki’s closure.
- Maspalomas Carnival: if you need to take a break from the bear week programme, you will have the choice of attending several free carnival shows at Yumbo Centre . However, on the Grand Parade day and the following massive street party (Saturday 16th) we will seek refuge all day at AxelBeach with two main events: Wet & Hairy pool party and a renovated free-access Mister Bear Gran Canaria party, followed by a late night cruising party nearby.
- New men-only clubbing night at Kiki’s spectacular new venue!
- New chilled format for Basement Studios: full day pass allowing for relaxing by the pool and cruising area, followed by animation, DJ and BBQ.
- New workshops: Tantra Massage (levels 1 and 2), Tantric Intimacy, and Naked Bears Yoga.
- New free table booking system for select terraces. Includes the choice of own or shared tables (ideal for solo travelers wanting to mingle!)
- New payment improvements: no more leaving the online shop to pay, and the ability of paying in three installments for free.
- New Post-Carnival programme. Those staying little longer will enjoy some extra fun with smaller events: a relaxing pool party, a couple of cruising nights, a spa evening, and some trips.
No longer available in 2024: VIP wristbands and Bunker events.
