Inspired by Castillo de San Jose, this large fortress-style resort is ideal if you're looking to escape the busier areas but still be within easy reach of the town. It's very popular with families during the summer months and there's a special themed world just for kids. 'Castleland' transports children (4-12 years) to the world of Camelot where their imaginations can run wild and they can enjoy a range of fun activities and games. During the rest of the year it's more popular with adults who are drawn by the peaceful setting and the excellent selection of facilities which are spread out in beautifully maintained grounds. Admire the fantastic views of neighbouring islands including Fuerteventura, stroll to the renowned Playa de Papagayo just 15 minutes away or relax in the thermal waters of the Wellness and Thalassotherapy Centre Vitanova. Four restaurants offer a range of dining options including seafood at adults-only Sansofé with an elegant seaside setting. Enjoy buffet dinners at any time of the evening or book a table at the à la carte restaurants to enjoy cuisine including Asian and Italian. In the evening there is regular live music and shows. The Mediterranean-style rooms are light and airy. Superior Rooms offer views of the surrounding countryside or you can upgrade to a Superior Sea View Room for views of the Atlantic Ocean. Family Rooms - Merlin feature a special Camelot-themed room for kids. Family Rooms Superior are perfect for families and have sliding doors separating the bedroom from a sitting area with sofa bed.
This hotel overlooks a superb stretch of sand and is the ideal family-friendly retreat. A few minutes’ walk in one direction will take you to the lively town centre, the other to the upmarket marina where you’ll find great restaurants and cafés. However, there’s more than enough to keep you occupied within the hotel. As well as a great range of facilities and places to eat and drink, the crowning jewel is the amazing Kikoland, a complex aimed at families with entertainers, pools, playgrounds and a snack bar. There’s a choice of eight restaurants – four of which are à la carte, offering everything from tapas, Japanese and Italian, as well as Mexican, international and Italian buffets. Enjoy a meal at the gourmet Isla de Lobos; it has a relaxed atmosphere and uses local produce and techniques to create mouth-watering meals. Rooms and Suites have a wonderful colonial Canarian style and Superior Rooms have garden, pool or sea views. Families have a choice of suites, from the Junior Suites Sea View, up to the more spacious Suites. Relax Sea View Rooms and Relax Suites are exclusively for adults, perfect for a more laid-back stay with an à la carte breakfast, daily thermal circuit at the Thalasso centre and daily aromatherapy.
This stylish adults-only resort has recently reopened as Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa after extensive renovation, and is a pleasant walk from one of Europe's finest marinas in Puerto Calero. You can expect light tones and sleek finishes, and an excellent range of facilities and things to do. Take a dip in four heated outdoor pools with Balinese sun loungers, try sports and activities including tennis, volleyball, padel and Tibetan bowls, and visit the diving club to explore the island's unique marine life. For the ultimate relaxation, head to the hotel's spa to enjoy an indoor pool with water jets, hydrotherapy showers and an outdoor terrace with sun loungers. There are plenty of dining options and with the marina so close by, you can always eat out if you fancy something a little different. The main restaurant, World Café offers international buffets for breakfast and dinner, with skillful show cooking and a beautiful terrace. Tuck into classic Italian cuisine at à la carte restaurant Portofino, try grilled specialities at Oceana Seafood Restaurant and enjoy light lunches at Barefoot Grill, the hotel's pool bistro. You can also have grilled meats at the Bluewater Grill steak house by the pool, and Asian cuisine at the sushi bar, Gohan which has views over the Atlantic Ocean. Many of the restaurants offer light and vegetarian meals. Choose from six bars including La Habana, the outdoor lobby bar with sea views and a great selection of cocktails, and the Sports Bar where you can catch a game over a drink. The rooms and suites are bright and airy, with large modern bathrooms and a terrace or balcony. Upgrade from a Double Room to a Double Room Sea View Ocean to wake up looking out over the water; push the boat out and choose one of the Preferred Club Rooms to enjoy special extras including butler service in selected areas, continental breakfast and afternoon snacks in the exclusive Preferred Club Lounge, and a private solarium and pool.
H10 Rubicón Palace looks like a chunk of Caribbean has floated across the Atlantic and anchored itself on the southern shores of Lanzarote. Imagine lush palm-strewn gardens wrapping around a cluster of white-washed buildings, interspersed with a smattering of candy-coloured façades, and a handful of gleaming pools. And this seafront big-hitter certainly has the same intoxicating vibe as the archipelago on the other side of the ocean. However, an otherworldly backdrop of the rust-red Montaña Roja volcano roots Lanzarote’s largest hotel in place. Interiors are classic meets Art Deco, with an emphasis on Canarian colours – think palm green, lava black and stone white. This village-style complex ticks all the good-time boxes – a total of 14 restaurants and bars including the Bistro Bar with healthy snacks, Mike’s Coffee and a food truck, a thalassotherapy spa, lush gardens, eight pools, and even schooner boats moored in swimming pools. While this lagoon-style centrepiece is aimed more at adults, kids are more than catered for, with three children’s pools – one arranged around a life-size pirate ship with water slides. Throw in a jam-packed evening entertainment programme, and you won’t even have to leave the resort if you don’t want to. And if you do, you’re a half-hour walk from Playa Flamingo and a 20-minute drive from the Martian-like landscapes of Timanfaya National Park. Rooms are splashed in crisp shades of cream and white, with monochrome accents and teal bursts. Book a Standard Double Balcony or Terrace Room for garden views, or go all out on a Standard Junior Suite Balcony or Terrace for glorious sea panoramas and a slice more space.
