One of Lanzarote’s top luxury hotels, adult-only Lani’s Suites stands out for its polished design, top-notch services, and thorough attention to detail. All of its 25 sleek, contemporary suites are equipped with an array of high-end amenities such as wine coolers, Nespresso machines, and Chopard toiletries, and many have whirlpools on the terrace. The hotel’s oceanfront restaurant is known among locals and visitors alike for its excellent international menu, and is a favorite among couples for a romantic dinner. Butlers go around the lovely heated pool several times a day with free drinks, and body treatments are offered at reasonable prices in the small poolside massage room. Rates include Wi-Fi and a la carte breakfast, while airport transfers are available for a fee. The location right on the main drag and overlooking a small beach is convenient for all types of travelers, but those traveling by car may want to note that parking in the area can be challenging.

Known for its striking design, La Isla y El Mar is one of Lanzarote’s top hotels. The luxury property's 81 stylish suites are equipped with an array of high-end amenities, such as Nespresso machines and premium minibars, and many have panoramic ocean views from their terraces. The pools are small but lovely, with jets, plush loungers, and a peaceful atmosphere, while the poolside bar keeps drinks flowing until the evening. The buffet eatery offers a varied, tasty spread, but the standout is the a la carte restaurant, housed in a sophisticated space with an outdoor lounge offering stunning ocean views. Body treatments and salon services are available at the spa, and freebies include breakfast and Wi-Fi. Travelers wanting something a tad more luxe and closer to the beach may want to compare rates at Lani’s Suites de Luxe. 

Alondra Villas & Suites is an upscale property with a peaceful atmosphere. Its 41 stand-alone villas are big and stylish, with full kitchens, up to three bedrooms, and gardens. All but four of them have private pools that can be heated for a fee. The common pool is small yet charming, and the restaurant serves a tasty, free breakfast buffet, along with solid international cuisine for lunch and dinner. With plush Bali beds, waiter service, and access to a spa, the adult-only lounge is a popular spot for sunbathing. The location away from the city center allows for quiet nights, but there are few restaurants, bars, and shops in the area, and the nearest sandy beach is about 20 minutes away on foot. Travelers seeking something cheaper may prefer Nautilus Lanzarote, which offers pleasant apartments a short walk from the beach.  

The 187-room Las Costas is an upscale property with an ideal location directly on Los Pocillos Beach and an easy walk from the the main drag in Puerto del Carmen. The focus here is on relaxation, with a serene oceanfront pool, massage services, an outdoor whirlpool, and a limited entertainment program. Spacious rooms were renovated in mid-2016 and have stylish contemporary decor, large flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, and double sofa beds. All rooms feature patios with loungers, but some may find them to be lacking in privacy. Food gets good reviews at the hotel’s buffet restaurant, and there is a small bar by the pool with a short lunch and snacks menu. Las Costas has a quiet vibe that is probably better suited for couples than families, but the hotel features a kiddy pool and a kids’ club with daily activities for those traveling with children. Neighboring Vik Hotel San Antonio is cheaper and livelier, but rooms are better at Las Costas. 

The 398-room Sentido Aequora Lanzarote is an upscale all-inclusive property located a five-minute walk from sandy Los Pocillos Beach. Couples will likely appreciate the adult-only pools and restaurant sections, as well as the several bars, but there are plenty of kid-friendly features as well, including kids’ and teens’ clubs, a game room with arcade machines, and a playground. Rooms are large and stylish, with laminate floors, a chic red and white color scheme, and great amenities such as flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, Nespresso machines (coffee is not replenished after the first day), and furnished balconies. Wi-Fi is free and strong throughout the property. The hotel’s three restaurants get good reviews for taste and variety, but there have been complaints of lukewarm food at the buffets. Those looking to stay a little closer to central Puerto del Carmen may want to compare rates at Hotel Lanzarote Village, but note that rooms are better at the Sentido Aequora Lanzarote.
