A kitchen renovation in Gran Canaria usually costs between about EUR 5,000 and EUR 12,000 (excluding IGIC), depending on size, cabinetry and appliances. A small 6-8 m2 kitchen with standard finishes starts at the lower end (EUR 5,000-8,500); a standard 10-12 m2 kitchen runs EUR 7,000-12,000, and large or high-end kitchens start from EUR 12,000 (up to around EUR 18,000-20,000). Per square metre this usually falls between EUR 700 and EUR 1,200/m2, reaching EUR 1,500/m2 for premium finishes. These are approximate guide figures, excluding IGIC.
Kitchen prices by size
| Kitchen | Typical price (excl. IGIC) | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Small, 6-8 m2 | EUR 5,000-8,500 | Standard cabinetry, laminate worktop, mid-range appliances, keeping the existing layout. |
| Standard, 10-12 m2 | EUR 7,000-12,000 | More units, a compact stone or compact worktop and a fuller appliance set. |
| Large or high-end | From EUR 12,000 (up to ~EUR 18,000-20,000) | Bespoke cabinetry, an island, sintered-stone worktop and premium appliances. |
What affects the price
- Size and layout: moving the sink, gas or drains increases the cost; keeping the wet points in place keeps it down.
- Cabinetry: bespoke units and fronts drive a large part of the budget.
- Worktop and appliances: the worktop material and the appliance range make the price vary widely.
- Plumbing and electrics: renewing them fully is strongly recommended in older kitchens.
Worked example: a 10-12 m2 kitchen
A standard 10-12 m2 kitchen - strip-out, renewed plumbing and electrics, a continuous splashback, bespoke floor and wall units, a compact-stone worktop, a new sink and tap, a hob, oven, extractor hood and fridge, plus zoned lighting - typically lands between EUR 7,000 and EUR 12,000. Keeping the sink and hob where they are trims the plumbing and electrical work; adding an island, integrated appliances and a sintered-stone worktop lifts the same kitchen towards the from EUR 12,000 band.

Common line items
Demolition and removal, plumbing and electrics, tiling or a continuous splashback, bespoke cabinetry, a worktop, a sink and tap, appliances, lighting and an extractor hood.
Finishes that suit island life
Hard water leaves limescale on taps and stainless steel, so we favour brassware and surfaces that are easy to keep clean, sealed worktops that resist staining, and soft-close units that cope with humidity. A well-sized extractor and good zoned lighting make a small southern kitchen feel larger and work better for everyday cooking and for holiday-let turnovers.
How long it takes
A complete kitchen is usually ready in 3-4 weeks, depending on the availability of cabinetry and appliances and the scope of the work. We agree the timescale in writing before starting and use in-house trades throughout.
Bespoke cabinetry and appliances drive much of the kitchen budget.
Refresh instead of a full renovation?
If the layout already works, you may not need to strip the kitchen out at all. Changing fronts, the worktop and appliances can transform it for far less - see our guide to refreshing a kitchen without major building work.
IGIC on the renovation
In the Canary Islands there is no VAT but IGIC: the general rate is 7%, but renovation of a primary residence may qualify for a reduced 0% or 3% rate if the requirements are met. This is the real tax advantage over mainland Spain. We explain it in our guide to IGIC on renovations in the Canary Islands.
The best way to know the real cost is a visit and a fixed quote. See what is included in our kitchen renovation in Gran Canaria.
