Holidays in Spain

Visitors have a large selection of good quality hotels in Lanzarote to select from.  With the island offering accommodation to suit all budgets.  From one star apart hotels through to luxurious five star establishments.  The bulk of these hotels are obviously concentrated in the main tourist resorts.  But the island also boasts a growing crop of rural hotels – which cater to the growing demand from tourists keen to connect with the ´real Lanzarote’.

Hotels in Costa Teguise

Costa Teguise is home to Lanzarote´s best known hotel, the Gran Melia Salinas.  Which was developed under the aegis of the Lanzarote born artist César Manrique.

The Gran Melia first opened in the 1970´s, anchoring the entire man made development of Costa Teguise. Which Manrique had planned as a coastal resort sister to the former island capital of Teguise, located around 6km inland.

The Gran Melia still enjoys an enviable reputation for luxurious comfort and service today.  Thanks in no small part to the breathtaking internal garden created by Manrique along with the many original artworks by the artist which adorn the walls of this prestigious establishment.  A night’s stay at the Gran Melia remains relatively affordable though – with prices starting from €120 per night, dependent on tariff and time of year.

Costa Teguise is also home to three four-star hotels.  Namely the Occidental Teguise Playa – which is located right by the small beach at Playa Cuchillo.  The Beatriz Hotel and Spa, located around ten minutes walk away from the resort centre.  And the Occidental Oasis – which is located on the outkisirts of the resort in the direction of the island capital of Arrecife.

Hotels in Playa Blanca

The largest selection of hotels can be found in Lanzarote´s newest resort of Playa Blanca, in the south of the island.  Here new establishments have been springing up all along the coastline.  

The leading hotel in Playa Blanca is the five star Gran Melia Volcan, sister establishment to the Gran Melia Salinas in Costa Teguise and with similar luxury facilities and a high quality of service.  The Volcan has been loosely styled so that each accommodation block resembles one of Lanzarote´s many picturesque villages.  

Elsewhere in the resort four star hotels predominate, with many of Spain´s leading chains enjoying a presence.  Such as the H10 group´s Rubicon Palace and the Hesperia Playa Dorada.

Hotels in Puerto del Carmen

Despite the fact that Puerto del Carmen is the oldest and most popular resort in Lanzarote it is still only really serviced by two main hotels.  With the bulk of tourist beds accounted for by either apartment or apart-hotel accommodation.

The San Antonio Hotel is located at the western end of the resort and boasts excellent facilities and a beach front location.  Whilst the Los Fariones Hotel is situated bang in the heart of Puerto del Carmen – making it a firm favourite with tourists looking for a bit more nightlife whilst on their holidays in Lanzarote.
