Playa Flamingo is a stunning white-sand beach that offers visitors a delightful escape with its inviting promenade, refreshing showers, and sunbathing terrace. Nestled within walking distance of the town center, it stands alongside other picturesque beaches like Playa Dorada and Town Beach, all perfect for swimming and soaking up the sun. For those seeking adventure beyond Playa Flamingo, the nearby Papagayo beaches are renowned for their natural beauty and tranquility.
Lovely little sandy beach. A great spot for snorkelling and swimming. We went on the weekend, arriving late morning. There was still plenty of space and it never got super busy. It is also empty at sunset and is a lovely spot to chill. A good selection of bars/restaurants on the promenade, plus a handy little supermarket.

Cozy beautiful beach with clear water and sandy bottom. Sand is white (artificial), very pleasant compared to the black one on the whole island. 😀 Perfect for swimming. Vibe like at Calais in Cala d‘or in Mallorca. One point less since it’s small and full of kids.
Anna — Google review
A really lovely little, manmade sandy beach. Protected by the walls the water is super calm. Whilst the western edge is a bit rocky the eastern part of the beach is 100% sandy with zero issues walking in and our of the water. Lovely soft sand. I stayed at TUI Blue Flamingo Beach which is the hotel right on this beach. It can and does get busy but not too busy. There are a couple shops, restaurants, bars, a cafe and an ice cream parlour overlooking the beach. It is served by a 13km promenade. There are no services on this beach such as toilets, changing rooms or rentable sun loungers. The mini marts have lockers you can rent.

Where do I even begin? We made a terrible mistake by booking our holiday at Merry Hill Store. My husband, daughter, and I were all excited to go, especially after our agent highly recommended it. We arrived late at night and were sent to a room the furthest away from anything, across a road. To make matters worse, the key cards didn’t work. I went back to reception and asked for a room closer to the front of the hotel, away from any open road. They gave me room A37, but the toilet was making noises like a T-Rex, and the shower didn’t work properly. These issues were reported on the first day. The TUI team on site, on the chat, and the hotel staff advised us multiple times that maintenance would fix it, but they never did. They didn’t even go to our room at any point. On the morning of day 5, they offered to move rooms, but it was day 5 of a 7-day stay! I was given a key for another unsafe and isolated room, just as bad as the first. The ceiling had been replaced multiple times and looked like it had been lifted and shifted out of Baghdad. There were cracked tiles everywhere that people could get hurt, and multiple chunks of concrete steps were missing from areas, leaving raised metal drains that could cut open people’s feet. The entire hotel was dirty. From the eatery to the stairs leading to the rooms, there was rubbish and hair everywhere. It was clear that the hotel needed money spent on it rather than TUI sending that money elsewhere. The food was also a major issue. There was fish in the cheesey pasta, undercooked food, and basic hygiene was missing from the dirty plates. Hair was even found in the food as it was placed on the surface. It was just disgraceful. On another day, a child was sick in the food area, and the family was not seen for a few days after. I requested a downgrade of our food option, as evidenced by the photo I have (it’s £934). Multiple placards around the hotel advertised the costs of upgrading. The place is a health and safety hazard. We’ve spent over £1000 eating out of the hotel because of its poor quality and dangerous conditions. Why can’t you downgrade if you can upgrade? It’s the same process in reverse! After speaking to other people, I discovered that the entire hotel is in the same state, and the staff are fully aware of it. The TUI rep, Dylan, offered to sort my late check-out, but it was only until 2 pm because they had others coming into our room. I asked how he could possibly put people in the room knowing its condition, but he said that was his problem to sort out if they complained. He’s sent me a link to refund me the 20 euros to the wrong mobile number, which seems like it’s been done on purpose, I’ve asked the TUI team on the app a number of times to correct this and they still haven’t. An hour until we leave, and the receptionist recommended using the ‘spa’ shower, advising us to book it quickly as they get booked up. We went down to use them, and my 9-year-old daughter and I went to the ladies’ room. Next thing, there was a crash, and the shower door came off, hitting my daughter. She slipped and fell onto the raised basin, where there was a rusty latch or screw that had broken off. She has severe bruising and is screaming. I ran to the receptionist, who said she had told the hotel and TUI staff that they were not safe repeatedly, but her advice had been ignored. This clearly indicates that despite being told that there’s clearly no care from either TUI or hotel management. The TUI manager and the deputy hotel manager came down to speak to us. I asked the hotel manager to fetch a doctor, and he got the doctor to check Scarlett’s ribs to make sure they weren’t broken. This hotel is dangerously unsafe. I’m horrified that there’s no accountability or ownership of the issues we raised. Multiple laws are being broken, and it ended with my child sustaining a serious injury. I have photos of every point I’ve made above, including the injury she sustained.

Playa Dorada is a beautiful sandy beach with crystal clear water, making it perfect for families with small children or those looking to relax. The atmosphere is generally quiet and friendly, providing a great place to unwind. Despite being busy at times, the clean water and pleasant surroundings make it highly recommended for a peaceful beach day. Additionally, the area offers accessible facilities and friendly locals who go out of their way to provide extra support, ensuring a comfortable experience for all visitors.
Around 10 mins walk from Playa Blanca, one of the best beaches in the area, good for families with small children or for anyone to relax. Nice golden sand and the water is clean and calm. There is a restaurant with a nice view over the beach where you can enjoy a drink or food. There are other restaurants and bars in the area, and a nice promenade along the beach, lovely for a walk.
Andy — Google review
A typical resort beach located right in the heart of the resort area. It’s crowded with tourists, offering plenty of loungers and a few spots for those who prefer laying down their own towels. While convenient for resort guests—especially with a large parking area nearby—there are quieter, more scenic beaches elsewhere on the island for those seeking a more peaceful experience..
Marek D — Google review
Beautiful beach with sunbeds available if you get there early enough. Sea is quite calm and good for swimming and snorkeling. You can park near the road and walk down easily. There are a few snack bars and shops near by. There is a single shower which can have long queues (why did they only install 1???).
Stephen L — Google review
Amazing beach! Spectacular sunset views, turquoise water, affordable sun loungers (4 euro per item!), beautiful sand, showers, toilets, beach bars. What else you could ask for?? Only downside is when you have to leave home..
Dudo47ZG — Google review
Stayed for 5 days, visited the beach 4 days out of the 5. Lovely sandy beach, sea was calm whilst we were there but one of the days there was a strong undercurrent. Gets very deep very quickly depending on the tide state, 3 steps and i was out of my depth at one point.
Chris R — Google review
Whilst the schools were not out and so all holiday makers from various locations have yet to descend this was the busiest beach by far that we visited in early July. We arrived around midday and didn't find a lounger - i wasn't actually sure if we could rent one as there no signs so they may have been for hotel user only. But the sea was lovely after going in, considerable drop after about 8 foot in, so people with young kids be wary.
John B — Google review
Nice beach, clean sand and water. Great location. One can rent sun beds with or without umbrella, 4 euro each as of now, pay by cash or card, and even get an official receipt. The only drawback is absence of changing rooms, which is strange for such a popular place.
Leonid A — Google review
Really beautiful free sandy beach. It's protected with rocks, so waves wouldn't get too high. The water gets deep quite fast. High tide must go quite high because the sand is wet almost all the way up to the edge. I could find one shower, in the middle, but it had almost no pressure. Could not find a toilet. There are restaurants nearby. There are plenty of free parking spots on the roadsides.

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Park
Aqualava Water Park is a popular attraction in Fuerteventura, covering nearly 270,000 square miles and offering over a dozen aquatic rides and activities for visitors of all ages. The park features 5 water slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, kids' play structures, and concessions. It's an ideal spot to escape the hot summer sun near the town of Corralejo.
It is a part of hotel group but entrance is separate. I recommend buying pass for 1 -2 weeks. It’s way cheaper. Staffs are friendly. My children loved wave pool. Outside food is not allowed so you may end up buying all fried food they have on offer. I loved ice creams though. They have beach essentials in the shop in case you didn’t have time to buy. Definitely worth visiting 🙌
Rani S — Google review
Nice compact waterpark with a lazy river, kids pool with slides and activity zone, a bigger wave pool and 5 water slides. Plenty of staff around to help. Lots of inflatables for the rides when we went. It also has lockers, toilets, shower areas and a nice food area with burgers, chips, pizzas, kebabs, fruit, ice cream and drinks.. We went wen it opened at 10am and stayed till 430pm and they also have on site photographers that take pictures that you can view during you stay and purchase. My smallest girl and middle boy loved it as it was just a nice size park and wasn't mental busy.

Splashes of Fun, Waves of Disappointment: A Honest Dive into Aqua Lava Short Review: Aqua Lava Water Park in Lanzarote offers a handful of fun features, including a wave pool, kiddies' splash zone, lazy river, and slides, but ultimately feels outdated and uninspiring. While younger children might enjoy the splash zone and the slides provide some thrills, the park suffers from visible wear and tear, a lack of imaginative theming, and overpriced food with no outside options allowed. If your hotel has a pool, you’re not missing much, though it could be worth a short visit if entry is included in your stay. With some much-needed investment, Aqua Lava could live up to its potential, but as it stands, it’s a fairly underwhelming experience. Longer - detailed review: Nestled along a dusty main road just a five-minute walk north of Playa Flamingo Beach lies Aqua Lava, a water park that feels as though it has seen better days. With its rusted metal fixtures, bleached paint, and an overall sense of wear and tear, the park presents an outdated and tired aesthetic. That said, we visited in December—far from peak season—which undoubtedly contributed to the quiet, almost empty feel of the place. For us, entry was included with our hotel package, so we felt it was worth at least one visit. While the park’s overall appearance left much to be desired, my son did have a lot of fun, which ultimately made the trip worthwhile. However, Aqua Lava offers a limited range of activities, so here’s a breakdown of what you can expect: 1. Beach Pool The medium-sized beach pool was equipped with an hourly wave machine that added some fun to the experience, albeit briefly. The pool used saltwater and was icy cold, which limited how much time we wanted to spend in it. It was adequate for a short swim but not particularly memorable. 2. Kiddies' Splash Zone This was one of the highlights of the park and is clearly designed with younger children in mind. With smaller slides and a climbing area topped off by a 10-minute bucket-dump feature, it’s a lively spot that younger kids would undoubtedly enjoy. While our children are a bit older now, it was clear that this section of the park is its most appealing feature. 3. Lazy River (Magma River) The Lazy River was unfortunately a letdown. Its short circuit felt uninspired, and the lack of decorative touches such as plants or themed elements left it feeling bare and uninviting. The water tubes sat deflated and unused, further adding to the overall sense of neglect. A little imagination and investment could make this a much more engaging feature. 4. Slides The park has five slides, four of which require a tube to ride. My son enjoyed these and, to be fair, the speed and thrill of the slides provided some genuine fun. The space bowl slide was a nice addition, but the slides overall felt like standard fare rather than an exciting experience. Like much of the park, they suffered from the same tired, uneventful aesthetic. 5. Restaurant Area As is often the case with water parks, the restaurant area was overpriced, and the park’s strict policy against bringing outside food meant we were left with no choice but to purchase from there. This could be an inconvenience for families planning a longer stay. Final Thoughts We only stayed at Aqua Lava for a couple of hours, which felt sufficient given the limited attractions and overall atmosphere. For visitors already staying in Lanzarote with access to a hotel pool, Aqua Lava doesn’t offer much you’d be missing. Families with younger children might enjoy the splash zone, but for most, this water park is unlikely to be a standout feature of their holiday. That said, the park has potential, and with some much-needed investment in branding, decor, and upkeep, it could become a more engaging and memorable destination. As it stands, Aqua Lava feels like a relic of a bygone era that’s in desperate need of some fresh life.

Visited with my 3 and 7 year olds and we were all slightly disappointed. As other reviews have noted the park is a bit shabby and could do with an upgrade. The food was fine (basic and fairly pricey - exactly as you’d expect) but the ordering system was clunky - only one electronic kiosk to order for everyone. We were dropped off at 10.30am by bus and were all very ready to go home at 3pm. We visited Rancho Texas the day after and had a much better all round experience/better value for money.
Anna L — Google review
Fun few hours - totally recommend the half day pass (after 2pm arrival for discounted entry). There is a lazy river that you don’t need a ring for (but that’s the point isn’t it?) a few tube slides, a wave pool and a great kids pool with a MASSIVE bucket that dumps loads of cold water every 5 mins or so. Lockers are by the entrance so you can lock away your valuables and have fun without the worry.

Steve W — Google review
Great little water park just minutes from Playa Blanca. Probably best for families up to early teens. It's compact - but in a good way for families. You can't bring in your own food - so be prepared for food bags being held in reception 😁. You can easily pop out to eat and go back in though! Amenities: - Shower rooms (not used by us) - Showers throughout the resort, weak water pressure but just to rinse off salt water - Canteen, a bit confusing as partially self service and 'to order', but quality is fine. Includes chips, nuggets, hotdogs, pasta, pizza slices, fruit, beer, fizzy and fruit drinks. All reasonable prices - Lazy river, decent size and good 'current'. Shallow water, so good for paddling too - 'Water House', with giant bucket splashing every 20mins (ish), 3/4 baby slides, various places to hide - Slides for small kids, by the Water House, one bendy and one quite wide for races - Wave pool, for dipping or wave surfing every hour. Exciting for kids 6+, but not too hectic! - 5 'adult' slides, for 120cm+, two for inflatables and 3 for bodies. Decent blend of 'open', 'closed' tubes, both fast and slow. Fine for kids aged 6yrs and beyond - Various chairs throughout the venue (no real sun loungers) General observations (good and bad): - Decent value even for a half day, if not full day - Compact so easy to stay close to family - Difficult to find shade by chairs, if arriving late - Limited reception staff, so queues possible when busy - Limited life guards, so parents must remain watchful - Sometimes difficult to get an inflatable as people would hold onto them after each ride. Lifeguards can help, but otherwise up to parents to get aggressive and snatch from people as required 😆. In fairness, this improved throughout the day - as people realised how to share (!!)

A lovely little find. We have dined here twice so far, on our holiday. You need to book, as tables fill up quickly. Sign of good dining. Food was excellent local fayre. Service very good. It has a lovely atmosphere about it and is competitively priced. Will return. June 25. Been back again this year. It is just as good. Booked again for next week. Sangria here is best I have had.

A lovely spot right in the center — slightly hidden but easy to find. The food was incredibly fresh and full of flavour, truly some of the best we’ve had! The hosts were so kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We loved it so much we went back twice during our stay, and we’d definitely return again. It’s a small restaurant with only a few tables, so make sure to book in advance. If you can’t reach them by phone, just message them on Instagram — it works perfectly. Highly recommended!

My wife and I booked this restaurant for an evening meal, using the website. Booking was straightforward and easy. We enjoyed a delicious and freshly cooked meal. I had the onion and gratin soup, my wife seasonal vegetable soup. For mains I had the stone bass and my wife had the sole. Both courses were really tasty and generous in size. So good in fact, we booked a table for two at the same venue for the following night! I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant, a traditional Canarian/Spanish eaterie.

Los Hervideros Restaurant is always a highlight of our trips to Playa Blanca, Lanzarote. The food is consistently fresh, full of flavour, and served in generous portions. We’ve been here several times, and it never disappoints — it’s become a must-visit spot every stay! The waitress is wonderful — she still remembers us each time we come, which makes it feel like a true home away from home. The restaurant might be tucked away a little, but it’s absolutely worth finding. Prices are fantastic (better than many others around), and you can’t leave without trying their ½ jug of sangria — it’s a must! 🍷 Trust me when I say, once you go, you’ll already be planning your next visit. If you’re after a later dinner, it’s best to book ahead — it does get busy with reservations! The updated menu just makes us even more excited to return. Highly recommend this hidden gem! 👏☺️

Superb restaurant. Just off the main drag. Staff were friendly and attentive. We sat upstairs which was lovely and airy and had a nice sunset view. We had a prawn cocktail,fish soup and garlic prawns to start which were cooked perfectly. Mains consisted of 2 fish dishes and 2 steaks. All perfect. Left feeling rather full altho the portions didn't look huge. Had sangria and white wine which was recommended by the server and was tasty and not expensive. Would highly recommend.

Marina Rubicon is a beautiful and picturesque marina with a different atmosphere compared to the main town of Playa Blanca. It offers lovely views, great shops, and a variety of excellent restaurants. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll or indulge in some shopping while admiring the stunning surroundings. The market on Wednesdays and Saturdays is particularly popular, offering plenty to see and treat oneself to.
Superb marina. Lots of good restaurants. The market on Wednesday and Saturday is very busy but fun. The shops and bars are good the rest of the time, when it is much quieter and quite a different experience. Worth walking up the hill to the fort and exploring some of the out of the way shops and bars on the way up there too.

Plenty to see and do. We stopped at Lani's Snack Bar for something to eat. Service and food were excellent. Plan to revisit the area on Wednesday or Saturday to see the Market.

Stunning little marina and boutique shopping area. A short 20min walk from.our hotel along the coastal path (Castillo Tagoro) just before sunset, you get an amazing view of the harbour and town (see photo).Some lovely places to eat out or drink or just walk around admiring the view and design of this lovely town. There are a few boutique stores for clothing and souvenirs.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Centro Commercial Rubicon, and I must say, it left a lasting impression on me. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a sense of cleanliness and order that truly enhanced my shopping experience. First and foremost, I was impressed by the impeccable cleanliness throughout the entire mall. The floors were spotless, the restrooms were well-maintained, and the overall ambiance was inviting. It was evident that the management takes great pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness, which made me feel comfortable and at ease during my visit. Another aspect that stood out to me was the wide range of options available when it came to food and clothing. The food court offered an array of choices, catering to various tastes and preferences. From local cuisine to international delicacies, there was something to satisfy every craving. Likewise, the clothing stores featured an impressive selection of fashionable clothing brands, ensuring that shoppers had plenty of options to choose from. However, it is worth mentioning that some items in the mall were on the expensive side. While the quality and variety were commendable, it's important to be mindful of your budget when shopping at Centro Commercial Rubicon. Nevertheless, I found that the overall experience justified the prices to some extent, as the mall provided a comfortable and enjoyable environment for shopping and dining. In addition to the cleanliness and variety, the mall's layout was well-designed, making navigation a breeze. Signage was clear and informative, making it easy to find the stores and amenities I was looking for. The staff members I encountered were friendly and helpful, ready to assist with any inquiries or directions needed. Overall, my experience at Centro Commercial Rubicon was a positive one. The cleanliness, extensive choice of food and clothing, and the overall pleasant ambiance left me impressed. While the prices may be a tad high, the quality and convenience offered made it worthwhile. Whether you're looking for a place to shop, dine, or simply enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, I highly recommend paying a visit to Centro Commercial Rubicon.

More like not shop and run. I don't like making negative reviews but in this case I have too. OK we visited this place about 4pm on Monday so not the best time. I would say about half the shops are not occupied. There was only a supermarket, perfume shop, somewhere for your nails and a few clothes shops. The small bowling alley was shut. We hoped to stay an hour or more but 10 minutes were enough. Disappointing 😞.

What a lovely Marina, great shops and lovely restaurants. Went end of April/May 2022 and there was a swimming pool there but due to covid / early in the season the pool area was still closed. Such a lovely atmosphere at the Marina and we went on market day which gave it even more charm. Well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed. Can't wait to go back again,loved it there.

Public beach
Playa de Papagayo is a renowned beach in Lanzarote, known for its stunning turquoise waters and golden sands. It's located within the Los Ajaches Natural Park, offering unspoiled natural beauty away from the touristy resort vibe. While there are no shops inside the park, visitors can enjoy a restaurant overlooking the beach. For those seeking convenience, Playa Blanca nearby offers a more traditional tourist experience with various amenities and activities.
Arrived at 7pm to see the sunset. There was plenty of parking and lots of space on the beach. We swam and played in the sea for an hour and then watched a glorious sunset. The water was clean, the currents were strong (so be careful) and there were some 2ft waves so if you have smaller children, keep them close and check the tide times. The beach also has rocks either side so again be aware of the current. I can imagine during the day the beach would get crowded but there are other options close by if this is the case. Mujeres has lots of space and is less rocky. The drive to the beach is fine, the dirt track is pretty flat. As we arrived at 7pm we also didn't have to pay the €3 entrance fee. It is a lovely place to watch the sunset but be ready to leave as climbing up the path from the beach to parking area, in the dark, wouldn't be fun.

Visited here solely for the purpose of checking out the views which are highly rated. Access road just off the roundabout is several km long and is VERY bumpy at times so you need to be careful with your driving speed. Large car parking area so no problem getting parked (we arrived at approx. 11.00am on a Tuesday). There was a €3 charge for our car entrance fee. From the car park it's a short walk to the view point which does provide excellent views of the coastline plus you can see Fuerteventura in the distance and (presumably) a volcano or two in the opposite direction. For the best views you can walk towards the cliff edges but be aware that there are no safety barriers and the wind can be quite strong as well. The beaches here (which we didn't use) looked very nice with good access to the sea but getting down to them seemed a steepish walk from the car park area. There are a couple of eating place options but strangely I didn't notice any public toilets? Maybe I just missed them but definitely not obvious from around the viewing area and outside the eateries. Overall a nice place to visit for the views with the added bonus of good beaches. When we were leaving it was starting to get busy so obviously a popular area.

I visited this beach because it’s said to be the most popular on the island. The access road is several kilometers long and quite bumpy, so you need to drive carefully. Parking is no problem—there’s a large lot (€3 car entrance fee), and even when we arrived around 13:00 on a Monday, spaces were available. From the parking area, it’s just a short walk to a viewpoint with fabulous views of the coastline, and on clear days you can even see Fuerteventura in the distance. For the best photos you can walk closer to the cliff edges, but be careful—there are no safety barriers and the wind can get strong. The beach itself, however, wasn’t what we expected. The water looked dirty, it was crowded (as you can see in the photos), and getting down from the parking area involved a fairly steep walk. There are a couple of small buffets, but I couldn’t find any public toilets. Overall, I wouldn’t say this is the best beach on the island. The cliff views are beautiful, and the sea is calmer here, but if you want to swim, I’d recommend coming early in the morning before it gets busy. Personally, I prefer Playa de Janubio.

Great place for a big open water swim, managed 1300 metres at this beach which is 600m long. This is the first of three beaches at this location, you can only access it by foot by walking across a mountain path behind hotel sandos. There are no life guards, go in a strong pair of walking shoes and use a tow float when swimming. Keep away from rocks as people fish from them. Water is very clean and sandy beach easy to get in and out.

Stunning natural beach with surrounding cliffs! It takes a bit going down and up by man made steps but it's totally worth it. If you're in Lanzarote, this is a must see area. Entrance is 3e only so not a big deal. There's a restaurant if you want to eat or drink at the top of the cliff, but it is expensive. Considering there's no mains power or water, everything is supplied through the generator so no wonder it's expensive.

✅️Pros: •Gorgeous golden sand and crystal-clear water •Protected cove with relatively calm swimming •Excellent spot for snorkeling and enjoying marine life •Stunning natural scenery, perfect for photos ⚠️Cons: •Access road is unpaved; drive carefully ~3-5 kilometers •National Park entrance fee: €3 per vehicle (I think the evening hours are free..) •Very limited shade; bring umbrella, water, and snacks (There is a small restaurant btw.) •Can get crowded during peak hours •Not ideal for small children or people with mobility issues, as you have to descend a long staircase to reach the beach. (50-60 meters long stair) 😉Tips: •Visit during sunset for breathtaking views •Bring sun protection, water, and snacks •Wear comfortable shoes for walking on rocky paths to the beach

A very nice beach and good for swimming, just be careful if snorkeling around the rocks if the sea is rough as it's like getting stuck in a washing machine when the waves push in and go out, you can get washed into the rocks! Be aware there are fairly steep steps to access the beach if you are less mobile. 3 euros charge per car to enter the national park and a bumpy but fun gravel track journey to the beaches but it seemed to be free entry later in the day when we left.
David M — Google review
20min drive on the bumpy potholed gravel road to get to the mediocre beach...just go somewhere else, there are more beaches on the Lanzarote and Fuertaventura that dont wreck your car while getting to them. There is no shower or toilet on the beach and no shade, only two bars and a ice cream shop overlooking the beach...we came in the afternoon so we did not have to pay anything to get in to the beach.

Los Charcones is a stunning natural attraction located in the southwest part of Lanzarote, near Playa Blanca. These naturally formed pools offer a picturesque setting with views of the coast and an abandoned hotel nearby. Visitors can enjoy swimming and relaxing in these beautiful pools, but it's advisable to check the tide before planning a visit. The area is known for its unique beauty, but it can get quite busy at times.
Gorgeous natural pools with crystal clear water - definitely one of the highlights of the island! The place is easy to find. I would recommend to leave your car at the parking and walk about 25 minutes to the cliff. Then you will need good sneakers and relative dexterity to walk the rocky cliff for about 10 minutes. Definitely worth it it though! I would not recommend with children.
Nathalie A — Google review
We followed directions to the abandoned hotel on Google maps. The road is very bumpy so we had to leave our rental car and walk. We then discovered some cliffs with some pools at the bottom, near the sea. However it wasn’t safe to go anywhere near the pools due to the waves. We think it was high tide because i can’t imagine how anyone can go down to the pools and not get swept away. Overall was quite interesting to see the choppy sea and massive waves but wasn’t safe. One of the pictures is of the pools when we discovered them and the next is the waves which appeared just 10 seconds after the first pictures, quite scary really!
Hannah L — Google review
The worst decision of our trip. The place is hidden, and it’s almost impossible to get close by car without damaging it. After parking, you have to cross dangerous, wet volcanic rock. My girlfriend slipped and ended up covered in cuts from the sharp rocks. The tide can completely cover the path, making it truly dangerous. Other than that, nothing special: the “pool,” if you can even call it that, lives up to its name — it’s little more than a puddle, which is why the locals gave it that name "charcones". The pictures are heavily Photoshopped.
Luis L — Google review
It’s a beautiful place, but please watch out for the waves. I was there with low tide, but the ocean is still dangerous because of the waves. So, make sure if you are gonna swim in side of the pools, let watch someone else the waves and never swim there alone!

Well it is a walk and a trek down but it is a fantastic tidal pool with lovely warm crystal clear water. Do not come if you are not able to clamber over boulders
Chris R — Google review
It was a real struggle to find these pools because it’s not accurately marked on Google or clearly sign-posted from the road. When you turn off the main road and drive down the dirt road to the Water management plant on the right, here you must leave your car (unless you have a Land Rover that can handle the rocky path!) and walk left on the rocky road along the coast. We followed the road for several KMs, stopping every now and then to look over the cliff to check for pools. After about 30 mins we found some stunning pools but they were almost impossible to reach by climbing down. We finally found one that we could access by climbing down the rocks but it’s not easy and not very safe. The pools themselves are gorgeous and a pleasure to swim in but it takes a whole lot of effort to get there so I wouldn’t recommend going unless you’re up for a real adventure!

Beautiful spot but really quite busy when we visited which was a little unexpected. Lots of sea urchins so beware. The abandoned hotel was really cool as well. Great if you're into urbex. Access is fine, the first bit of track is the worst but no need at all for 4WD,. Risk of punctures if anything. We opted to walk in over the desert just for the experience. Full on Canarian sun but very strong breeze so you don't feel yourself burning. Sunscreen recommended.

Hotel
Massage spa
Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort is a luxurious oceanfront retreat with multiple dining options, bars, and outdoor pools. The resort also boasts a spa and gym for guests to unwind and stay active during their stay. While the hotel has received praise for its amenities, some returning guests have noted a few areas of concern. These include the lack of bathroom accessories provided in the rooms, such as tissues, shower caps, nail files, and ear buds.
We were seriously impressed with our stay. There is a huge amount to love about this hotel, but I need to start with the staff because they are what truly make the experience. A huge shout-out to Santos, who was seriously wonderful to us and Sonny. He was so friendly, kind, full of energy, and genuinely welcoming, we actually felt quite sad when it was time to leave! Elaina was also really wonderful, always greeting us with a beaming smile and being so attentive. And the energy from Attie and Pablo was incredible. The whole team's friendliness and spirit are exceptional. The Kids Club and soft play are a fantastic feature. It gave us a few hours to have our own headspace, and every time we picked up our child, they were having a wonderful time, even on the day they arrived a little out of sorts. The entire place is immaculate, really beautifully presented, with a huge selection of pools. The rooms are clean, roomy, and have all the amenities you would need. If I had to offer one small piece of constructive feedback, the food in the pool restaurant is a little lacking. Also, there might be an opportunity for the on-site ice cream place to offer a few more savory snacks. Overall, a truly wonderful and five star stay, thank you for making this such a memorable holiday for us.

Rooms are a little dated but spacious in good repair with good quality fittings and furnishings, pillow menu, ample hot water and good air-conditioning. There is free parking and no plate charge for room sevice. Spa a little dated but better than average with sea and garden view from steam and pool. Al a carte Restaurants and gelaterie very good. Breakfast outstanding whether buffet or al a carte. Location excellent. However, there were some room servicing issues possibly due to language barriers and things like bathmat and face cloth disappearing and not replaced. Pool waiting service was absent at first but improved after raising query. We probably wouldn't stay again as unlike many other hotels in Playa Blanca it doesn't cater well for couples. For example, most nearby hotels in Playa Blanca seat families and couples or adult only groups apart where possible at breakfast or have an adult only pool area. This is puzzling when it has more pools and dining areas than most! Our last few days were ruined by a noisy family next door after occupants changed having been assured it was a quiet wing away from families. The hotel has a vast child and family activity and entertainment programme and kids. It also has a separate day and night programme for adults. Unfortunately, we didn't do anything on the the adults programme as small children were welcome to scream and screech and disrupt these activities too even as late as nearly 10pm on the karaoke. A real shame but what should have been a relaxing wasn't. Other Playa Blanca hotels even at 4 star level manage to get the balance right for all guests at about half the cost of this one...

Another lovely stay at this hotel, beautiful rooms and friendly helpful staff. We find the location midway between the harbour and the marina is excellent. The hotel is kept very clean with well maintained gardens. We enjoy the buffet meals with their enormous choice and freshly cooked fish and meats so haven’t tried the other restaurants on site. We will certainly be returning in the future and would recommend it to others.

Our 7th or 8th visit to the Yaiza. This hotel just ticks all the boxes for us. The staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble, their aim is to give everyone the best holiday experience. The food this year was better than ever with themed meals on many evenings. We had a junior suite which is so spacious with a high level of cleanliness which was obvious throughout the hotel. We look forward to future visits to the Yaiza.

The Spanish guitarist was recommended to us for a relaxing evening of chat and drinks. He didn't disappoint, beautiful versions of recognisable classics that were easy on the ear but not overbearing.

Just back from a 10 day trip as a family of 4 with 2 children aged 4 and 2. The food and comfort of the room and sundowners were excellent. Minor issues were our phone and Hairdryer weren't working in the room but the app made it easy to report these issues. Occasionally our bottled water and coffee wasn't replaced but I'm sure if we had reported this it would have been fixed. The main issue was the lack of free drinking water and some of the waiting and pool staff didn't hold up to the customer service I would expect from a 5 star such has not coming for coffee orders or explaining what was on offer, not helping with a high chair. The entertainment staff were the highlight really, they weren't in your face but made the children feel included. Particular mentions to Pablo, Santos and Elena (apologies if spelling wrong), they were some of the few people who got high fives from my children because of how comfortable they made them feel.

We stayed at the Princesa Yaiza for 2 weeks at the end of June 2025. I read all the reviews beforehand and I would say the average review is accurate in my opinion. Having stayed at many hotels, I would describe this as a 4.5 rather than a 5L and it does feel tired in places although part of that is the rustic theme the hotel has gone for. The hotel really should address the towel situation by telling guests at check in and then having the pool managers actually enforce the rules. With all that being said, the staff were exceptional throughout. My daughter has coeliac disease and the hotel dealt with the situation admirably, particularly head chef, Raul. The location is also great.

Playa Mujeres is a beautiful beach located in the Papagayo Beach area, accessible by a dirt track. It is the first of the series of Playas de Papagayo and offers stunning golden sandy beaches that gently slope into crystal clear waters, perfect for swimming. History enthusiasts can explore ruins of a limestone quarry and bunkers used in World War II. The beach is also popular among naturists.
Beautiful beach with clean sand and water! You can park at nearby parking place. Be aware that this is almost wild beach with no facilities (at least in March). But the view, the sea and the whole experience is amazing! Access by the rocky road is nit very pleasant but if you drive slowly you will do within 15-20 minutes from the main road.

Going into the natural park costs 3 euros per car. The way is quite challenging so I do not recommend to go with a low car but a higher one. The beach is beautiful but nothing so impressive, if you ask me. There are far more special beaches to see on the island. Quite busy beach so if you need some disconnection might not be the best option.

Beautiful beach, the water is clear, clean and, when we went, a very pleasant temperature. It was busy but there is plenty of space. There is no shade here so if you plan on staying for a while, take a robust parasol. It was quite busy in the parking area, with not much room to maneuver so be careful. The dirt track starts straight off the roundabout and yesterday the was a pot hole right where the road ended that was difficult to see so I would suggest dropping your speed exiting the roundabout. However the rest of the dirt track was flat and in good order. Be ready with your card to pay €3 entrance fee, although when we left at 6pm cars seemed to be entering freely. It is a great place to see the sunset so we are going back this evening.

Perched above the stunning Playa Flamingo, this spot offers visitors breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and the vast Atlantic Ocean. It's an ideal place for photography enthusiasts and those seeking relaxation amidst nature's beauty. The area features a semi-circular sandy beach nestled in a small bay, providing excellent protection from wind and waves—perfect for families with children or non-swimmers.
In the western part of the town offers a semi-circular sandy beach and, thanks to its lower location, good protection from wind and waves.

A short walk downhill from the main carpark brings you to this beautiful beach that has only a handful of people on it. Yes, it's true, some were naked, but did not flaunt it and no-one seemed bothered. If you want to try out getting your kit off for the first time, then this beach is perfect if you are a bit self conscious. I'm in my mid fifties and had never done so before. It was very liberating, and because there were so few people on this stretch of beach, made it much easier not to be too body conscious and after two visits, it was great!

The best beach on Lanzarote that you can easily access. There is a path from the Playa Papagayo parking lot, or you can walk along the beach and over some rocky area to get to this beach. This is easier in the morning due to the tide. The end of Playa del Pozo has a nude area. It’s amazing and very freeing to go into the water all naked.

The Castillo de San Marcial de Rubicón de Femés is a historical site on Lanzarote, featuring an eighteenth-century watchtower and the ruins of the first castle built by Jean de Bethencourt. While visitors can't enter the small fort, it offers stunning views of the coastline and is easily accessible from the nearby boulevard. The area also provides a nice viewpoint for sightseeing and taking in the beautiful landscape towards the sea.
It was amazing to walk along the waterfront and manage to get to Castillo de San Marcial and be able to see picturesque views around. Highly recommend for a chilled day walk.

An historical Monument on the outskirts of Playa Blanca, well worth the short walk from the bustling town. You can't go inside but can climb the stairs. Stunning views all around

It's definitely worth a visit. You can't go inside, but you can go up the steps. Some beautiful veiws. The walk is quite easy from the shops.

One of the must see of Playa Blanca, I love to go kayaking underneath it... stunning landscape and views of Fuerteventura in clear sky days.

The Castillo de San Marcial de Rubicón, also known as the Castle of Femés, was a fortress located in the municipality of Yaiza on the island of Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands. It was built in the 15th century, specifically in 1404, during the early stages of the European conquest of the Canary Islands. This castle was constructed to protect the first European settlement in the archipelago, the Bishopric of San Marcial del Rubicón, established by the Norman conquerors Jean de Béthencourt and Gadifer de La Salle. It was strategically located near the Rubicón area to defend against potential attacks, particularly from pirates or indigenous resistance. Unfortunately, the castle was destroyed over time, and today no significant remains of the structure are visible. However, its historical importance is remembered as a key part of the early colonization of Lanzarote.

A nice viewpoint that is worth the visit. A small fort that is placed here overlooking the coastline. Unfortunately you're not able to enter it. but nevertheless a good place for a walk and sightseeing. Its also easily accessible from the nearby boulevard. If you can bear the heat during daytime you might want to walk a bit further South to Papagayo beach.

Lighthouses
Nestled at the southern tip of Lanzarote, the Faro de Punta Pechiguera stands tall and proud, a striking white lighthouse that offers stunning views over the Strait of La Bocaina. This scenic spot not only provides a glimpse of the nearby islands of Fuerteventura and Los Lobos but also serves as an ideal location for sunset watching. The area around the lighthouse is often quiet, making it perfect for those seeking solitude while enjoying nature's beauty.
Lovely views around the lighthouse area. well worth a walk from Playa Blanca for those able to do so Bus 30 takes you back for a few euro

I was staying at Sandos Atlantic Gardens site, and walked nearly up to the lighthouse one afternoon where the promenade path finished but did not walk the final few hundred metres due to the uneven ground. I took some photos of the sunset on a previous evening which was spectacular

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the stunning island of Lanzarote, and my journey took me to the southernmost point of the island, the Faro de Punta Pechiguera. This extraordinary destination left an indelible impression on me, as it combines breathtaking natural beauty with a rich history that transports visitors to another time. Upon arriving at Faro de Punta Pechiguera, I was immediately captivated by the picturesque landscape. Nestled on a rocky cliff, the lighthouse stands tall and proud, offering panoramic views of the sparkling azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The sight of waves crashing against the rugged coastline created a mesmerizing spectacle that will forever be etched in my memory. As I explored the surroundings, I discovered that Faro de Punta Pechiguera is more than just a lighthouse; it is a gateway to the island's past. The lighthouse, built in the 19th century, serves as a testament to the maritime heritage of Lanzarote. Its charming architecture and pristine white exterior are a stark contrast to the volcanic landscape, adding a touch of elegance to the rugged terrain. The extensive pathways surrounding the lighthouse allow visitors to take leisurely strolls while marveling at the raw beauty of Lanzarote's southern coast. The unspoiled views stretch as far as the eye can see, with dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and golden sandy beaches inviting exploration. I found myself immersed in the tranquility of the location, basking in the warm sunshine and breathing in the crisp, salty air. One of the highlights of my visit was witnessing the mesmerizing sunset from Faro de Punta Pechiguera. As the sun descended into the horizon, painting the sky with a breathtaking palette of hues, the entire landscape transformed into a dreamscape. It was a moment of sheer serenity and awe, leaving me grateful to be a part of such a magnificent spectacle. In conclusion, Faro de Punta Pechiguera is an enchanting destination that embodies the essence of Lanzarote's southern charm. From the rugged coastline and panoramic views to the rich maritime history and unforgettable sunsets, this place offers an unforgettable experience for all travelers. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a history buff, or simply seeking a moment of tranquility, a visit to Faro de Punta Pechiguera is an absolute must.

We had the most excellent experience at the dive college, all instructor where very helpful and knowledgeable. We not dive for some time and did a refresher course and museo Atlántico dive in the afternoon. Morning dive after some skills in the water of the shore seen loads of fish with instructor pointing out octopus and many fish to been seen, the afternoon session start with a very detailed brief. We joined up with other groups who where novice and the group work really well and made it experience better the boat trip was great as you get to do a backwards roll off the boat. There is loads to see at the site It a long day 5+ hours but worth every minute one of the best dive experience I have ever had and would recommend it all day long, thanks to the time for making it a great experience 😀

As I walked the promenade looking for the spoon in concrete, eyes fixed down on the ground a couple were smiling at me frantically looking and said have you seen the spoon, I said no and he lifted his foot off it, it was amazing I took photos and we carried on with our day but every time we went back past the spoon we went and looked again and said hi.
Andrea F — Google review
I have always been fascinated by spoons. They are such versatile utensils, perfect for stirring, scooping, and slurping. So when I heard about the legendary spoon in concrete in Playa Blanca, I knew I had to see it for myself. I booked a flight to Lanzarote, packed my bags, and set off on a quest to find the holy grail of cutlery. It was not easy. I spent hours walking along the promenade, scanning every tile for a glimpse of the elusive spoon. I asked locals for directions, but they either laughed at me or gave me vague answers. I was about to give up, when I saw it. There it was, half-buried in a slab of pebbled concrete, shining in the sun like a beacon of hope. I felt a surge of emotion, a mix of joy, awe, and relief. I had found it. I had found the spoon in concrete. I knelt down and touched it gently, feeling its smooth metal surface. It was warm, as if it had absorbed the heat of the island. I wondered how it got there, who put it there, and why. Was it a prank, a mistake, or a message? I didn’t know, and I didn’t care. All I knew was that it was beautiful, and it was mine. I took out my phone and snapped a selfie with the spoon, smiling like a fool. I felt a connection with the spoon, a bond that transcended time and space. I felt like I had found my purpose in life. I stayed with the spoon for a while, talking to it, listening to it, and learning from it. It taught me many things, such as the importance of being humble, resilient, and adaptable. It also taught me some jokes, such as “What do you call a spoon that can’t stir? A spork.” and “Why did the spoon cross the road? To get to the fork.” The spoon had a great sense of humor, and I laughed along with it. I left the spoon with a heavy heart, but also with a sense of gratitude. I thanked the spoon for everything it had done for me, and promised to visit it again soon. I walked away, feeling a new sense of direction and fulfillment. I had seen the spoon in concrete, and it had changed my life. If you are looking for a unique and unforgettable experience in Lanzarote, I highly recommend you to visit the spoon in concrete. It is more than just a spoon, it is a symbol of hope, inspiration, and mystery. It is the best thing that ever happened to me, and it might be the best thing that ever happens to you. Trust me, you won’t regret it. The spoon in concrete is the ultimate attraction in Lanzarote, and possibly the world. Don’t miss it.

I wasn't expecting to go spoon hunting on holiday, however, when "The spoon in concrete" showed up on Google maps the challenge to find it was instantly accepted! It was actually reasonably hard to spot, but just as we were about to give up, we found it! If you want to spend 5-10mins with the kids (or big kids like me) then it's a fab little activity to do whilst walking along the sea front.
Hannah's N — Google review
Only heard about this after joining a FB group of Playa Blanca, yet we'd been there over thirty times! Of course, it was then a mission to find it. We didn't cheat (well, except for narrowing it down on Google Maps) and we found it after twenty minutes. Now, we see it easily on each time we pass. It isn't this absolutely incredible feature of the town, but what it is, is a bit of fun, a 'must do' mission on a walk along the most beautiful coastal path. Who knew? Everyone wants a bit of harmless fun and relaxation on holiday - add it to your list of 'things to do' when you're next there. And, don't cheat!

While there are no clear walking paths, visitors can enjoy the views in three directions and combine their visit with beachcombing on Papagayo beach or others.
A desolate place just past Papagayo beach. You'll be able to have unobstructed views to all directions, being either mountains, ocean, beach or the neighboring island of Fuerteventura. There is no clear walking path towards this but you're able to visit it by walking in the correct direction. Cars are unable to reach the location.

An isolated place on the island with a road of several kilometers where we do not recommend fast driving and at the end you will find yourself in an area where trails along the coast will lead you to many beaches that are beautiful, hidden between cliffs and isolated from tourist busy places. An ideal place to escape and have great moments on the trail and many local beaches.

A great place to enjoy the views in 3 directions - to the beautiful beaches in the area, the cliffs or the more or less distant islands. A nice walk that can be combined with beachcombing on the famous Papagayo beach or others. I would give 5 stars for the scenic value, one star less for the access - the road is nightmarishly bumpy on solid rock and is about 6km long which you feel in your bones afterwards and really for a 3 Euro fee they could have done something about it with the thousands of cars probably driving there every day

Playa de las Coloradas is a beach with a mix of sand and stones, featuring a promenade overlooked by an 18th-century castle on the clifftop. A coastal path from the east end of the Promenade leads to Playa de Las Mujeres in about 15 to 20 minutes, offering opportunities for swimming and snorkeling. The beach has been improved and is now pleasant for families, with clear waters suitable for late afternoon and early evening swims.
This was our local beach staying in Sandos Papagayo hotel next to it. Great for late afternoon and early evening swims. Some decent snorkeling up the eastern arm of the bay but be careful of the swell/rocks. We also swam and snorkelled the beaches east of here including Mujeres and Papagayo and these are prettier but Colorades is still a lovely beach and good for swimming

Not much of a 'playa' at all. Almost impossible to access the water as the beach is made up of sharp rocks. The man-made, walled, sandy areas with deckchairs on the west side of the beach (still no sea access) are owned by the hotel behind and not accessible to the public. The only restaurant / bar doesn't open in the day. Stay on the promenade and keep walking to Playa Flamingo if you want a lovely beach with soft sand, a couple of open bars and restaurants and direct sea access.

Molino de Playa Blanca is a beautiful windmill in Playa Blanca on the southeast coast of the Spanish island of Lanzarote. Its iconic white sail and relatively small size make it a popular tourist attraction in the area. The windmill was built in 1730 and has been photographed a lot over the years. It stands out against the black volcanic sand of Playa Blanca and the crystal clear blue waters of Cantalar Bay. With the marine reserve nearby and the backdrop of the magnificent volcanic structures of the “Timanfaya” National Park, Molino de Playa Blanca is an excellent photo stop.
