Top areas to stay in Lanzarote

Costa Teguise is compact and flat, making it highly walkable. It has a more laid-back vibe and is home to the island’s oldest golf course, but adrenaline junkies can get their fill too with windsurfing, diving and snorkelling off the resort’s several sandy bays. There’s a local craft market in the evenings at Pueblo Marinero, as well as a whole host of bars and restaurants with waterfront views. Further south, Puerto del Carmen is the island’s original resort, home to the four-mile-long Avenida de las Playas, aka The Strip. This is the place to go if you’re looking for lively nightlife, while the expansive beach that runs alongside is perfect for soaking up the sun and recovering the next day. Closer to the harbour, the Old Town has pretty streets filled with restaurants serving both local and international cuisine. Right in the south of the island is Playa Blanca, a quieter and more upmarket resort town. Its flat beachfront promenade is ideal for a relaxing stroll, with bars and restaurants galore. When you’re ready to see the sights, you’re just a short drive from the stunning Playa de Papagayo, or you can take the ferry to neighbouring Fuerteventura for a day trip.

Cheap resorts in Lanzarote

Lanzarote is a good-value destination, so you can find affordable accommodation in all the main resort towns mentioned above. If you’re prepared to branch out, though, there are some absolute bargains to be had. Despite being the island’s capital, Arrecife isn’t teeming with tourists and is a very inexpensive place to stay. History-lovers will enjoy it here, with landmarks including the Castillo de San Gabriel, a fortress built to defend the island from pirate attacks, now home to a museum documenting the island’s past. The capital is also a great spot for retail therapy – the pedestrianised street of Calle León y Castillo is lined with all kinds of boutiques. The north of the island is home to several towns that offer an escape from the crowds and great-value accommodation. Arrieta is a pretty spot with a lovely harbour where you can watch the local fishermen bring in their haul before sampling it in the local restaurants. Famara is great for bodyboarding, surfing and other watersports thanks to its impressive swell and windy location, but it also boasts exceptional cliff-walking – it’s here you’ll find Peñas del Chache, the highest spot on the island. At the northernmost tip of Lanzarote, the village of Órzola is a haven for nature-lovers. It has several beaches with a mix of sand and black stone, but it’s also the gateway (via ferry) to La Graciosa, a practically uninhabited paradise with no paved roads.

Luxury resorts in Lanzarote for older couples

If you’re looking for a luxury resort on your Lanzarote holiday, Playa Blanca is a safe bet. The town is perfectly positioned for exploring highlights like the Timanfaya National Park, but with hotels like this, you might never want to leave the resort! The 5-star LIVVO Volcan has a prime location next to the chic Marina Rubicón and boasts unbeatable amenities: four restaurants, five swimming pools, a spa, gym and much more. Puerto del Carmen is home to the legendary Hotel Fariones, the first ever built on the island, the beating heart of the island's tourist scene. Recently renovated, it offers contemporary luxury with some delightful touches including its very own cheese and wine, which you can sample in its multiple restaurants. The location is unbeatable too: step straight from the door onto the town’s main beach. The laid-back resort town of Costa Teguise is known for its beaches, and Paradisus by Meliá Salinas Lanzarote is perfectly positioned between two. Designed by renowned local artist César Manrique, it has a beautiful lagoon pool, Italian and Spanish cuisine in its restaurants, and an on-site gym and spa.
