Unique hotels in Lanzarote
Gleaming view: Buenavista
The route to Hotel Buenavista in Lanzarote crosses a bumpy gravel road, dotted with dark volcanic craters, to the five minimalist flats set amidst the vineyards of Lanzarote. You’ll find peace and tranquillity here, a place that is in harmony with the surrounding nature – as if it had always been there. There are two peach-coloured plunge pools in the garden, and yoga is offered in the open air there twice a week. The panoramic windows are exceptional and offer a view of the volcanic landscape bathed in a fantastic light from the sunset.
Artistic flair: Casa de las Flores
Artist Gigi and her partner Oscar have lovingly transformed a historic house into an innovative boutique hotel in the heart of Teguise, in the interior of Lanzarote. The rooms are flooded with light, always in an exquisite balance between old and new. The original wooden doors have been retained, while the walls are adorned with Gigi’s original tapestries and pictures. The Casa de las Flores team make every guest feel at home and cared for, and serve a sumptuous and colourful breakfast in the dining room every morning.
Luxuriously decorated: Paradisus by Meliá
Paradisus by Meliá is a chic all-inclusive hotel in Lanzarote – a luxury adults-only seaside resort located right on the sea in Costa Teguise, not far from Arrecife. The white building was designed in the 1970s by architect Fernando Higueras, combining wall paintings and a palm-fringed pool area created by artist and island legend César Manrique. The entire ensemble underwent a complete refurbishment in 2020, and its elegant rooms offer views of the Atlantic Ocean. Guests have direct access to Playa de los Charcos: ideal for a mojito in the hotel’s own beach bar.
Jewel in the north of Lanzarote: la Casa de los Naranjos
Far from the touristy hotspots lies a true gem in the north of the island. Casa de los Naranjos takes its name from the orange trees in the garden and is located in the municipality of Haría. It is one of two listed hotels in Lanzarote. The beautifully restored rustic rooms feature antique wooden furniture, chandeliers and tropically inspired details. The unspoilt natural scenery of the Canary Islands lies just outside the door, and the area is especially popular for its nearby hiking trails and kilometre-long cliffs.
Boho chic: Finca de Arrieta Eco Village
Hosts Tila and Michelle have created a welcoming Bohemian retreat with a unique atmosphere in the small seaside town of Arrieta in Playa de la Garita. The small village is powered by wind and solar energy. A holiday property there is therefore the perfect alternative for nature-loving travellers who wish to enjoy their holiday sustainably in an eco-hotel in Lanzarote. Guests can stay in comfortable stone huts, restored farmhouses and Boho-style Mongolian yurts. There is a cosy outdoor community area with a lagoon pool and even an original adventure playground for children.
Top hotel in Lanzarote: César
Timeless design, infinitely varied green tones and natural colours emanate from the stylish César of Numa Signature Hotels. The impressive estate is an oasis of peace and relaxation set amidst the vineyards of La Geria Nature Park, olive groves and banana trees. From your private terrace, you have a stunning panoramic view of volcanoes, the azure-blue sea and Fuerteventura. This makes the César the ideal hotel for a relaxing stay in Lanzarote. César has been recognised as one of the top 20 hotel openings in 2024 by prestigious magazine Condé Nast Traveller.
From here directly to the Old Town: Palacio Ico
Surrounded by centuries-old palaces and mansions in the Old Town of Teguise, Palacio Ico is the perfect place to explore historic Lanzarote. Guests can enjoy modern comfort and service in the traditional stone house with original wooden floors and exposed beams, while the restaurant serves first-class local seafood. The hacienda-style courtyard is a great place to start your day with an excellent breakfast.
Family-friendly luxury resort: Princesa Yaiza
As one of the largest luxury hotels on the island, the Princesa Yaiza in Playa Blanca provides a phenomenal offer for the whole family. This Canarian colonial-style resort offers its guests nine different restaurants, a spa and fitness area and a complete plaza with exclusive designer shops. Children over three months old can be looked after in the Kikoland, while the older ones can attend the football school or take part in exciting workshops – perfect for those looking for a child-friendly beachfront hotel in Lanzarote. Adults can also enjoy live music and pool parties.
