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.
Step foot into this welcoming resort and you’ll be greeted with a magnificent candlelit entrance hall modelled on a church from Teguise. There’s a tranquil lobby with beautiful foliage and a pretty waterfall set within a huge dome resembling a volcano. Low-rise white-washed buildings are scattered throughout extensive gardens with beautiful pools, courtyards and terraces. There are daily activity and entertainment programmes, and youngsters can enjoy baking, painting and pool games at the kids’ club. There are three restaurants within the resort – you could begin your day with a glass of cava and fresh omelettes at La Florida Buffet, before enjoying an à la carte lunch at Spanish restaurant, Tasca Yaiza, or à la carte dinner at Rubicón, the Italian restaurant, five nights a week. There are a number of restaurants to choose from at the Marina Rubicón which can be accessed through the hotel’s pool area. The Marina also has shops, bars, a gallery and watersports. The charming Mediterranean-style rooms are in 20 traditional houses and each has a soothing palette of blue, a living area, free Wi-Fi and a balcony or terrace. Standard Garden View Rooms have pool or garden views while Standard Sea View Rooms overlook the yachting harbour and have partial ocean views. For an indulgent stay, book one of the tranquil adults-only Club Volcán Rooms and enjoy access to an exclusive breakfast area, private terrace with views over the islands of Lobos and Fuerteventura, heated pool with pool bar and a Jacuzzi. Junior Suites are large while Suites are even more spacious with a living room and expansive terrace or balcony.
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.
The moment you step into the glass-walled lobby of La Isla y El Mar, you’ll be able to see how beautifully it sits in the landscape and respects it. The property is on a hillside overlooking the sea, with low-rise buildings arranged on terraces that drop away gently from the entrance. Grey-stone, white-washed, mirrored structures are interspersed with patches of greenery - palm trees and banana plants set in black volcanic pebbles - and vast boulders have been left in situ as a reminder of Lanzarote’s dramatic scenery. It’s all supremely cool, intimate and harmonious. The hotel’s chic design isn’t solely about respecting the immediate environment, but the environment in general. Sustainability is taken seriously here, so they use geothermal energy to power the air-conditioning, intelligent systems to control the lighting and all manner of clever ways to minimise water use. All this has earned La Isla y El Mar an A energy rating and a UNESCO-backed BioSmart certification. Not that guests will be aware of all this as they chill out in the two pools (one with massage jets), indulge in a soothing ritual in the small spa or soak up the ocean panoramas from their private terrace. It’s just there in the background, helping to make a visit here a guilt-free pleasure. The 81 generously proportioned suites wouldn’t look out of place in an interiors magazine. They are decorated in a sophisticated palette of soft greys punctuated by touches of mauve, green or turquoise, with stylish, modern designer furniture and sleek bathrooms featuring volcanic stone walls. As with all the accommodation, the open-plan Classic Suite has a terrace and a separate living space. The larger Deluxe Suite is perfect for two couples thanks to its two bedrooms, and it even has a private Jacuzzi. As its name suggests, the Junior Pool Suite looks out over the chic swimming pool; if you’d rather have panoramic sea views, opt for the Excellence Atlantic Suite instead.
