The Best Areas to Stay in Lanzarote
1. Costa Teguise — Best for first-timers
Sheltered beaches, César Manrique architecture and a walkable layout. Ideal for couples, families and design lovers. This is where Selectum Lanza is based.
2. Puerto del Carmen — Best for nightlife
Lanzarote's largest resort. Lively, lots of bars and restaurants but less refined than Costa Teguise.
3. Playa Blanca — Best for the Papagayo beaches
Quiet, upmarket and at the southern tip — closer to Fuerteventura ferries.
4. Famara — Best for surfers
A wild, dramatic west-coast village with a long Atlantic beach loved by surfers and yoga retreats.
5. Arrecife — Best for city life
Lanzarote's small capital — convenient, with a charming charco (lagoon) and the contemporary MIAC museum.
