Travel Places

There are lots of different accommodation options for anyone planning a holiday in Lanzarote. Encompassing everything from a Mongolian Yurt on an eco farm in the north of the island through to luxury five star hotel accommodation in the south. With plenty of other interesting choices in-between.

Anyone seeking to really get away from it all should book themselves a week stay at Finca de Arrieta, which located right by the beach in this unspoiled small scale seaside resort located in the north of the island. This former farm covers some 30,000 square metres and is powered by solar and wind energy. Which are ideal sources on a sunny island such as Lanzarote.

Guests here can choose from conventional villa accommodation through to luxury Yurts – a type of tent favoured by Mongolian yak herders. But with a thoroughly modern twist as these versions enjoy hard wood floors and boast all mod cons. Whilst anyone staying here can also pick their own organic fruit and veg from the garden and enjoy rides on Mollie the resident donkey!

Fancy something with a bit more sophistication? Then head for the Gran Melia in nearby Costa Teguise – widely regarded as the one of the best hotels in Lanzarote. And boasting an interesting heritage as it was constructed under the aegis of the famous local artist called César Manrique. Who was also responsible for the design of the interior central garden – the main focal point of this establishment.

The Gran Melia boasts impressive public spaces and a breathtaking swimming pool, bearing all the hallmarks of Manrique´s hand. Whilst also enjoying a great location right on the beach at Playa Cucharas. The hotel is also home to a number of exclusive self contained units in the grounds – which are regarded as the finest Lanzarote holiday villas available.

Alternatively enjoy a room with a view – by staying in Lanzarote´s only high rise building – now home to the Arrecife Gran Hotel. For years this construction was a real eyesore as it stood as burnt out shell for decades. As local planners worked out what to do with this illegally constructed edifice – which was built in contravention of Lanzarote´s strict planning laws.

Pragmatism eventually won out and the shell was transformed into a five star hotel replete with rooftop restauarant, swimming pool and luxury spa. Just like the Gran Melia the Arrecife Gran is also located right on a beach – in this case the Playa del Reducto in the heart of the islands capital city.
