Hotels in Costa Teguise

Costa Teguise

Costa Teguise is a purpose-built resort on the east coast of Lanzarote, about seven kilometres north of Arrecife and around 15 minutes by car from the airport. It was developed from the 1970s with the involvement of César Manrique, whose Pueblo Marinero square recreates a traditional Canarian village and hosts a craft market on Friday evenings. The resort has four main beaches: the large bay of Playa de las Cucharas, the calm, breakwater-protected Playa del Jablillo, the more natural Playa Bastián and the small Playa de los Charcos. Las Cucharas is one of Europe's best-known windsurfing spots, has hosted events of the PWA World Tour and has several windsurf and kitesurf schools on the beach. Costa Teguise Golf, designed by John Harris in the late 1970s, was the island's first golf course, and the Aquapark Costa Teguise is a favourite with families. The flat streets and the seafront promenade make the resort easy to explore on foot or by bike, and there is a wide choice of restaurants, bars and shops. The east coast catches the trade winds, so summer temperatures feel fresher here than in the south of the island. Many of Lanzarote's main sights are a short drive away, including the Fundación César Manrique in Tahíche, the old capital Teguise with its Sunday market and the Jardín de Cactus. Accommodation includes large family resorts, adults-only hotels, spa hotels and many apartment complexes. With sheltered beaches, water sports and a central location, Costa Teguise suits families, active travellers and anyone who wants to explore Lanzarote from a relaxed seaside base.
