The south of Gran Canaria faces a summer season marked by inflation in travel costs, according to the latest tourism intelligence data from Mabrian, the Gran Canaria Tourism Board, consulted by Maspalomas24H.
Four-star hotels, the main driver of accommodation options in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, will maintain an average price between €140 and €160 per night. This price range is more consistent, offering a competitive option compared to the three-star segment, which will barely fall below €100 during the peak summer months. The data reflects that planning six months in advance has allowed hoteliers to adjust their rates to a demand that, despite increased transportation costs, continues to show strong resilience for travel to southern Gran Canaria.
As of April 13, 2026, forecasts point to a price surge that will particularly affect source markets in Northern Europe. Norway is leading the way in airfare increases, with one-way tickets approaching €550 by early August, solidifying its position as the market with the highest connectivity costs for the island.
The UK and Germany show a similar trend, although with slightly lower spending limits. British and German tourists will see flight prices skyrocket from the last week of July, reaching peaks of around €400 and €450 respectively. In contrast, the domestic market (excluding inter-island flights) remains the most stable, with prices fluctuating between €150 and €200 throughout the summer, which could encourage a greater share of mainland tourism in the resorts of Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés.
Regarding accommodation in the south of the island, the luxury sector will experience the greatest volatility. Five-star hotels are showing an upward price trend that will culminate in mid-August with weekend stays exceeding €260 per night for a double room. This category is experiencing strong upward pressure during the first half of August, the peak demand period of the year, before beginning a gradual decline towards the end of September.
