Why book an all-inclusive holiday in Lanzarote?
There are many reasons to book all-inclusive in Lanzarote, especially knowing that your flights and accommodation are ATOL-protected and everything is organised down to your hotel transfer. A package includes three meals a day as well as most of your drinks, and you’ll usually get to dine in the hotel’s a-la-carte restaurants at least once.
There are plenty of cheap all-inclusive holidays to Lanzarote, as well as all-inclusive adults-only options – ideal as a romantic getaway. Most all-inclusive resorts offer in-resort activities but you may have to pay for add-ons like water sports, excursions and day trips, golf or spa treatments.
Best areas for an all-inclusive holiday in Lanzarote
There’s the perfect all-inclusive holiday in Lanzarote for everyone. Costa Teguise is a great base for a first visit, as it has a little of everything – beaches, culture, a foodie scene, nightlife and nearby volcanic wonders like Montaña de Tinaguache and the Star-Wars-like Stratified City. It’s also a good spot for golf. Those who are more interested in culture and walking than beaches should head to the island’s capital, Arrecife, to explore museums, castles and galleries, as well as the lovely old town. It’s perfect for those who don’t want to drive, as the public transport is efficient.
Party lovers should make a beeline for Puerto del Carmen, the island’s bustling nightlife hotspot, while seen-seekers, families and those hunting a peaceful break will feel right at home in friendly, quiet Playa Blanca. It also has some of the most sheltered, and most beautiful, beaches. Surfers will find their crowd in the windy, north-west-coast town of Famara, while San Bartolomé is fast becoming the elegant, eco-tourism hub. The quieter, more rugged spot to stay is Orzola, a sleepy fishing village with a slow pace of life and a good windsurfing scene.
All-inclusive beach holidays in Lanzarote
This Canary Islands’ gem is packed with stunning beaches. Playa Blanca is probably the all-inclusive resort in Lanzarote with the best beaches on its doorstep. Playa Flamingo, Playa Blanca and Playa Dorada are the top, in-town favourites, while Playa Mujeres is a wild-feeling expanse of golden sands and dunes with a shallow sea and no facilities. Playa del Pozo and Papagayo are equally stunning and far-flung feeling, promising exquisite water and breath-taking views.
If you like diving, you’ll want to spend a day with a dive school exploring the Museo Atlántico Lanzarote – the island’s underwater museum/gallery. Surfers will love a beach break on the wind-battered north-west for Playa de San Juan, Famara and Risco. The town beach in Costa Teguise – Playa de las Cucharas – is sheltered with honey-coloured sand, while smaller Jabillo is a mix of soft sand and smooth rocks, and a prime spot for snorkelling.
As well as being a party-centric destination, Puerto del Carmen is a fantastic all-inclusive resort for beaches, with romantic and local-feeling Playa Chica and popular, sandy Playa Blanca/Grande, which is backed by plenty of hotels, restaurants and bars to keep you occupied all day and night.
