Costa Teguise hotels

Hotels in Costa Teguise

Holidaymakers love the convenience and simple street layout of Costa Teguise, and for good reason. The resort on Lanzarote was deliberately built for tourists. It's only a 15-20 minute drive to Lanzarote (Arrecife) Airport, from which you can get to and from London, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Manchester and Liverpool.

Most of the Costa Teguise hotels are relatively new buildings, with all mod-cons and modern architecture. Some hotels are adults-only for that bit more exclusivity.

Things to do on Lanzarote

The island is 37 miles long and 16 miles wide, so getting around is easy – especially by car or bus. It's one of the largest Canary Islands, and there's a lot to see and do.

The striking black landscape of Timanfaya National Park is topped off with the Islote de Hilario volcano. A restaurant at the summit uses the volcano's heat to grill meat and fish. The whole park is ‘hot' – as you enter, you'll get a demo of water turning instantly into steam.

On the same side of the island, Playa Blanca has a quieter café culture and an expansive port area. When the sky is clear, you can see all the way over to Fuerteventura.

Relaxing in Costa Teguise

The town has four beaches, all of which are natural. Bastian beach has the biggest family-friendly atmosphere, and Las Cucharas beach is popular for windsurfing.

Pueblo Marinero is a former fishing village that's now home to some of the island's most luxurious hotels and apartments. A stroll around the area is a little taster of the high life.

If you're in the mood for a little more excitement, head to AQUAPARK Costa Teguise. As well as enjoying the water park, you can have a go at paintballing and kids can tackle the adventure playground.

Food and drink

A mix of British and Irish pubs and Spanish tapas bars line the streets. Costa Teguise also has pizza, Chinese restaurants and Italian food.

When it comes to cuisine local to Lanzarote, seafood and fish are important ingredients. Some of the most popular dishes are the simplest, such as pescado a la sal – fish baked in salt.

One dish that's quite unique to the island is Sancocho Canario. It's made similarly to a stew or casserole, using salt fish and sweet potatoes.
