Target Buenos Aires Pool Party – Pride Edition

Target Pool Party takes the Pride weekend out of the city and into the pool, with an afternoon of electronic music at Little Ranch Hotel & Spa.

  • The trendy gay district of Palermo is one of the most popular places to stay during Buenos Aires Pride. Stay close to the bars and top attractions at the Mine Hotel, rated “Superb” by guests featuring designer rooms, outdoor pool and excellent location.

The Event

  • Next Edition Monday, November 9, 2026 – Buenos Aires Pride Edition.
  • Target Pool Party takes the Pride crowd out to Little Ranch for a full afternoon by the water.
  • Arrive ready to swim and stay through sunset, with time to meet people between the pool and the music.
  • The event is part of Target’s Weekend Pride Program.
  • The music follows TARGET’s club roots: tech house, techno and progressive house.
  • Expect an electronic soundtrack rather than a pop-led Pride singalong.
  • Make this your last proper party of the weekend. Have breakfast in the city, share a car with friends and pack dry clothes for the return trip after dark.
  • Check out the 10 best hotels in Buenos Aires.

The Venue

  • Little Ranch Hotel & Spa, Las Caléndulas 2592, Manuel Alberti, Buenos Aires Province, in Tortuguitas.
  • Hotel and spa setting outside central Buenos Aires.
  • Facilities include gardens, a seasonal outdoor pool, an indoor pool, sauna and hot tub.

Getting to the Venue

  • Little Ranch Hotel & Spa is in the Tortuguitas / Manuel Alberti area, northwest of Buenos Aires, outside the city.
  • Give your driver the full address: Las Caléndulas 2592, Manuel Alberti.
  • Ask your hotel to arrange a remis, the Argentine term for a pre-booked private car with a driver and an agreed fare.
  • Allow roughly 60 to 90 minutes from Palermo, depending on traffic.
  • Share a car with friends and arrange your return pickup before leaving.

Where to Stay?

Stay in Palermo and travel out for the pool party. Palermo Soho puts cafés and restaurants close to your hotel; Palermo Hollywood suits travellers who prefer a quieter base between nights out. Neither area is within walking distance of Little Ranch.

A night in Pilar makes sense if the pool party is your main event and you want to avoid the drive back into Buenos Aires. Keep your city hotel for the wider weekend if nightlife and sightseeing take priority.

  • Fierro Hotel Buenos Aires – Spacious rooms, a pool and a restaurant in Palermo Hollywood. A comfortable base for couples who want restaurant evenings and room to recover between parties.
  • 1828 Smart Hotel Boutique – Small hotel on Fray Justo Santa María de Oro, handy for a Palermo Soho stay. Pick this location if you want to organise breakfast and meet friends in the neighbourhood before sharing a car to the venue.
  • Krista Boutique Hotel – Complete with a seasonal outdoor pool, sauna and gym. A useful option for travellers who want some pool time at their own hotel during the rest of the weekend, plus Palermo’s cafés close by.
  • KOS Pilar Hotel – On Caamaño in the Pilar area, with a rooftop pool, spa and spacious rooms. Choose a night here to stay outside the city after the party. You will still need a car to Little Ranch; this is not a walk-to-the-venue recommendation.

Gay Map of Buenos Aires

In Buenos Aires you’ll spot gay men strolling through many of the city’s upscale enclaves, especially in Palermo, Recoleta, and Barrio Norte. Avenida Santa Fe in Recoleta, and Palermo to the north with gay bars and nightclubs, are the gayest areas, and the historic San Telmo district is a magnet for gay couples looking to nest.
