These natural rock pools dot the island of Gran Canaria’s coastlines. There are pools in Las Palmas (La Laya)  and in Agaete, but it was In Moya that I was first introduced to them.

Fed by the ocean but with protective walls, these pools are great for inexperienced swimmers.

Escape to a breathtaking natural swimming pool carved from volcanic rock on the northern coast of Gran Canaria. Feel the refreshing ocean breeze mingle with the soft murmur of waves crashing beyond as you soak in the crystal-clear, sheltered waters surrounded by rugged black lava. This hidden gem offers a serene, soul-soothing retreat perfect for ocean lovers craving a tranquil yet invigorating connection with nature. Dive into peace and let the warm sunshine and salty air rejuvenate your spirit in this authentic Canarian oasis.

Stay in charming coastal guesthouses or luxury resorts in nearby towns such as Agaete or Las Palmas for authentic island hospitality.

Combine your swim with a hike through volcanic trails, a visit to the picturesque Agaete valley, or a whale watching tour along the northern coast.

Gran Canaria Airport

The nearest airport is Gran Canaria Airport (LPA), approximately a 40-minute drive to Moya.

Very enriching with very photogenic, very nature-focused, very hidden gem character.
