Naturist Apartments: Naturism and Sustainability
Freedom, respect for nature and a conscious way of travelling are no longer ideals reserved for a minority audience. For many of today’s travellers, choosing where to stay is an extension of their values. At Grand Horizon Boutique Resort, located in Puerto Rico, in the south of Gran Canaria, that philosophy takes shape in every detail: from the architecture to the services in each suite. This is a place where naturism and sustainability truly go hand in hand.
Naturist Spaces Designed for Privacy and Comfort
The naturist experience at Grand Horizon exists. The resort features an exclusive private terrace dedicated to connecting with your philosophy, so you can sunbathe however you prefer without changing your way of doing it. Our naturist area is set within a carefully designed environment that prioritises discretion and serenity. The open spaces, tropical plants and Atlantic views surrounding the area create an atmosphere where guests feel genuinely connected to their surroundings, without interruptions or compromises.
It is the kind of space that invites you to slow down. Whether you prefer to spend your mornings reading, practising yoga with the ocean breeze or simply sunbathing without the usual restrictions, the naturist area at Grand Horizon is conceived as part of a broader wellness philosophy, not as an afterthought.
The resort offers four categories of suites tailored to different preferences: the Elite Suites with heated private pools and spacious terraces; the Collection Suites with private jacuzzis; the Privilege Suites offering complete privacy with a terrace jacuzzi; and the Serenity Suites with a calm and minimalist atmosphere. All share the same commitment to quality: premium finishes, panoramic ocean views, fully equipped kitchens, advanced home automation and Rituals brand amenities.
A Heated Infinity Pool Designed with Sustainability in Mind
Few things better define a luxury stay in Gran Canaria than the pool, and the heated infinity pool at Grand Horizon is truly spectacular. Positioned to capture uninterrupted views over Puerto Rico harbour and the Atlantic horizon, it is designed to be used year-round — a direct response to the island’s enviable climate, but also a conscious decision from a sustainability standpoint.
The resort’s eco approach to water and energy use is integrated into the daily running of the pool and the property as a whole. Communal area lighting relies on LED systems, and rooms are equipped with intelligent climate-control technology that automatically adjusts to environmental conditions, avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.
Osmosis-filtered taps reduce dependence on bottled water across all accommodation, and the property features electric vehicle charging points for guests who travel with a reduced footprint.
Our Pool Bar adds a social dimension to the experience, with drinks and snacks in an atmosphere that invites you to take your time. Meanwhile, our own curated soundtrack plays in the background, relaxing you so much you won’t want to go anywhere else.
Grand Horizon as an Eco Resort in the Canary Islands
The concept of an eco resort in the Canary Islands has gained a great deal of relevance in recent years, and rightly so. Islands like Gran Canaria, with their extraordinary biodiversity and fragile ecosystems, demand responsible tourism. Grand Horizon has embedded sustainability at the core of its identity, rather than using it as a superficial layer of marketing.
The resort’s architecture was conceived to integrate harmoniously with the hillside setting above Puerto Rico, minimising its visual impact. Inside each apartment, home-automation systems allow guests to control lighting, temperature and services directly from their smartphone, reducing energy waste while making the stay more comfortable. Zero-kilometre gastronomy takes centre stage on the resort’s menus, shortening the supply chain and supporting local producers from Gran Canaria. All accommodation features recycling points, and the property encourages guests to connect with the island’s natural surroundings through guided ecological hiking routes and excursions.
The result is an accommodation model that allows you to experience the island without contributing negatively to it — a balance that is especially meaningful when the natural landscape is as extraordinary as that of Gran Canaria.
Technology and Nature as a Single Proposition
What makes Grand Horizon’s eco approach distinctive is the fluidity with which it blends with smart hotel technology. The resort operates with a fully virtual reception through the Smartsuite app, from which guests can manage check-in, access their apartment using their mobile as a digital key, request services, adjust room settings and communicate with the team at any time. This reduces paper usage, eliminates unnecessary energy consumption associated with traditional receptions and creates a frictionless experience from arrival to departure.
Grand Horizon demonstrates that choosing an ecological stay does not mean giving up on comfort or quality. It is precisely that integration of both values that sets this resort apart within the growing offer of naturist and sustainable accommodation in the Canary Islands.
Naturism in Gran Canaria: A Well-Established Freedom
Gran Canaria has a well-established naturist and nudist culture. The south of the island, particularly around Maspalomas and the beaches near Puerto Rico, has been attracting travellers in search of a clothing-optional experience in a warm and welcoming environment for decades. The climate — mild, sunny and stable all year round — makes it an ideal destination for those who want to enjoy their stay with fewer restrictions.
Grand Horizon fits into this tradition by bringing a more refined dimension to it. The naturist terrace and the adults-only private spaces across the resort’s suite categories are designed to offer that freedom in an environment equally centred on design, quality and sustainability. Those who choose naturism here are not choosing between freedom and luxury — they get both.
