Gran Canaria's
warmest welcome
Boutique apartments in Maspalomas with a host who genuinely goes the extra mile — every single stay.
More than just a place to stay
Most hosts hand you a key. Philip and Henry hand you Gran Canaria. From the moment you arrive, they'll know which bar has a special on tonight, the quietest stretch of beach, and what time the Dunes look best in the light — and they'll tell you all of it, unprompted.
Basement Apartments is a small, carefully run collection of private studios and rooms in the heart of Maspalomas. Every unit has its own entrance, air conditioning, a coffee machine, flat-screen TV, full kitchen, and private bathroom — everything you need to feel genuinely at home.
Within easy reach of the Yumbo Centre, Playa del Ingles beach, and the iconic Dunes of Maspalomas. Book direct and Philip and Henry include free pool access at Basement Studios and free entry to Kiki's — Yumbo's biggest nightclub — for your entire stay.

The Philip & Henry difference
They know the island
Philip and Henry will tell you the bar running a special tonight, the restaurant worth the queue, and the back route to the Dunes that skips the crowds. Real local knowledge, shared freely.
They go the extra mile
Guests consistently describe Philip and Henry as going above and beyond — not because it's their job, but because that's simply who they are. Every guest feels like the only guest.
They sort the extras
Free pool access at Basement Studios. Free entry to Kiki's for your whole stay. Philip and Henry make sure you get more than you paid for — every time, no fuss.
