Best beach hotels on Lanzarote, Spain

Of all the Canary Islands, Lanzarote has the steadiest climate, offering over 300 days of sunshine a year. Not surprisingly, it is a hugely popular holiday destination, especially for families or anyone wanting a quick sunshine fix. Add in beautiful beaches, fantastic water sports and a steady control over high-rise developments, and it makes a perfect fly-and-flop holiday choice, and the best beach hotels on Lanzarote cater for exactly this type of visit.

The island’s west coast is wilder and rockier - great for surfers keen to catch the swells - while the best beach hotels on Lanzarote tend to be on the eastern and southern coasts. Here you’ll find long stretches of pale-white or sunshine-gold sand and generally shallow waters; perfect for swimming and sunbathing.

Playa de Arrecife Flickr user Gabriel Villena Fe

Playa Grande at Puerto del Carmen, just south of Arrecife, the capital, is the island’s longest-established beach resort, and has everything you could wish for, against a promenade of palm trees and hibiscus.
In the south, Playa Blanca is an attractive modern resort and close to the lovely coves of Punta del Papagayo.
If you want a bit of action, Costa Teguise, to the north of Arrecife, is a great choice for windsurfing, although it also offers a safe, sandy beach.
Surfers will appreciate the breezes at Playa de Famara on the north-west coast,
while, if you’re feeling adventurous, there are some lovely, white-sand, coves on the rugged north-east coast.

Our choice of the best beach hotels on Lanzarote ensure you’re never far from some of the island’s best sands.
