A studio stay built for flow
Sunset Studios is designed for writing sessions, recording trips and small creative getaways where the focus is simple — make good work, then go outside and clear your head. Come solo, as a duo, or with a small team and move naturally between music and rest.
At the heart of Sunset Studios is a soundproof, fully equipped recording studio designed for serious work without pressure or distractions. Whether you’re starting from scratch, finishing songs, recording vocals, building production, or hosting an intensive writing trip, the space is set up to keep ideas flowing easily .
Sunset Studios includes a guest apartment for up to 3 people, making it easy to turn a studio booking into a proper creative retreat. No commuting across a city. No lost momentum. No breaking the flow just when things are getting good.
There’s something about leaving the city that changes the work. Your head gets quieter. Your ideas get sharper. You stop rushing. Sunset Studios is based in Gran Canaria, close to 7 beaches, with easy ways to enjoy the island when you step out of the studio.
Your host knows Gran Canaria well and can recommend everything from local favourites to quieter spots most visitors never find. Less planning, less searching, and more time spent enjoying the trip and staying in the right headspace.
Sunset Studios is for artists, songwriters and producers who want to step away from busy cities and spend time in a warmer, slower environment where ideas can breathe.
Each retreat is designed to give you the time, space, and focus to move your music forward at a pace that suits your project.
These retreats are our most common starting points and give you a good idea of what some artists choose.
