Program of the Carnival of Maspalomas 2026 | MUR Hotels

The 2026 Maspalomas International Carnival already has a date! Experience it with MUR Hotels .

If the rhythm is in the capital of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in February, the party moves south in March! For all our guests staying at MUR Hotel Neptuno , MUR Apartamentos Buenos Aires or MUR Bungalows Parque Romántico, we have the perfect plan: the 2026 Maspalomas International Carnival.

From March 10th to 22nd, Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas will transform into a stage of fun, music, and color. By staying with us, you'll be just steps away from the action but with the tranquility of your MUR Hotels retreat to rest.

Here is the official calendar so you don't miss a single "mogollón" (street party).

Whether you are looking for the Only Adults exclusivity of MUR Hotel Neptuno, the independence of MUR Apartamentos Buenos Aires, or the family charm of MUR Bungalows Parque Romántico, you will be in the ideal location to enjoy the carnival without complications. Recommendation: The days of the Drag Gala (March 19th) and the Grand Parade (March 21st) are the busiest. We recommend planning your travels in advance or simply enjoying the festive atmosphere around our establishments.
