Best luxury hotels on Lanzarote

Lanzarote is not all about package holidays, and cheap and cheerful accommodation. Its powdery beaches and volcanic interior also attract people who want places to stay that offer tranquillity and heavenly views, privacy and romance, excellent service and gourmet food, or plenty of on-site activities such as a spa or golf course. In some cases, they may want all of these things! We have scoured the island to pick out the best luxury hotels on Lanzarote.

Villa Vik, for example, has classic-contemporary interiors and private terraces (good for weddings, too) while Princess Yaiza Suite Resort has a spa as well as eight different restaurants.

But please don't leave it till the last minute if you want to book one of the best luxury hotels on Lanzarote. They're very popular year round destinations, so you'll need to plan ahead.
