When it comes to Lanzarote, don’t believe the naysayers (“Lanza-grotty” be damned). This isn’t just an island of dramatic volcanic landscapes and the nature-facing whitewashed architecture of the great midcentury designer-planner Cesar Manrique. It’s also home to some brilliant boutique stays, especially away from the purpose-built coastal resorts and inland towards cool little towns like the historic capital of Teguise, now the locus of go-slow creative Lanzarote. The tone was set in the Noughties and 2010s, with the opening of Finca Malvasia and Buenavista Lanzarote, both design- and eco-conscious boltholes amid stark black wine-growing landscapes. More similarly intimate stays have followed, with a fresh crop in recent years including Hektor, an arty vegan farmstay in the north of the island, and the languorously cool Casa De Las Flores in Teguise. The late 2023 opening of the 20-room Cesar Lanzarote, in a clifftop house once owned by Manrique’s father, has taken the island’s hotel scene to a new level – but it’s far from the only option on an island that’s very much having a moment. Here we round up our top picks for the best hotels in Lanzarote.
