Duplex Properties for Sale in Gran Canaria

In Gran Canaria, a duplex is one home on two floors, usually inside a complex with a shared pool and gardens. In some countries the word means a building with two separate homes, so the meaning is not always the same. Here, a home on one floor inside a complex is a bungalow, and a home on two floors is a duplex.

Most do. Many have a terrace or garden on the ground floor, and some also have a balcony or a roof terrace upstairs. The size of the terrace and the hours of sun depend on the complex and on which way the home faces, so check each listing or ask us.

A bungalow is a home on one floor inside a complex. A duplex is a home on two floors, usually with the living area downstairs and the bedrooms upstairs. A duplex often gives you more space for the same ground area, while a bungalow has no stairs inside. Both usually share a pool and gardens and pay community fees.

A duplex can work well for families and small groups, because it gives guests space and some privacy between floors. The same rules apply as for any other home: a holiday let needs registration under Canary Islands law, the town hall's planning rules must allow tourist use at that address, and the community of owners may need to agree. Check these points before you buy. A seasonal let for the winter is another option and follows different rules.

In the south, duplexes are common in Maspalomas, San Agustín and Meloneras, and in the hills above Puerto Rico and Arguineguín. Many complexes have both bungalows and duplexes. Use the search on this page, or ask us what is for sale today.
