All Inclusive Holidays in Lanzarote

If Tenerife is the “Big Brother” of the Canaries, Lanzarote is the stylish, artsy middle sibling.

Thanks to the legendary artist César Manrique, you won’t find any high-rise skyscrapers here—just whitewashed walls, green shutters, and a volcanic landscape that looks like it belongs on Mars.

From the chic yachts of Puerto Calero to the family-friendly sands of Playa Blanca, here is your 2026/2027 guide to the island of fire.

All-Inclusive Holidays to Lanzarote: The Island of Fire

Lanzarote is the king of the “easy” holiday. It’s slightly smaller and easier to navigate than Tenerife, making it a dream for those who want to explore without spending hours in the car. Whether you’re after a budget-friendly winter sun boost or a high-end luxury escape, Lanzarote’s all-inclusive scene is one of the best in Europe.

Who takes all-inclusive holidays here?

The “Design-Conscious” Couples: People who love the fact that the island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It’s a sophisticated crowd that appreciates a good volcanic wine with their buffet.

Active Families: With the world-famous Club La Santa and plenty of waterparks, it’s a hub for families who want to do more than just sit by the pool.

Winter Sun Seekers: Because it’s further east, it’s often slightly drier than the western islands, making it a February favourite for Brits.

Why go all-inclusive in Lanzarote?

Budget Certainty: Lanzarote is incredibly popular, and prices in the main “strips” have risen.  All-inclusive means you’ve paid for your Papas Arrugadas (wrinkly potatoes) and local beer before you even land.

The “Manrique” Effect: Many all-inclusive hotels here are designed to blend into the landscape, featuring beautiful cactus gardens and volcanic rock pools.

Family Ease: Most resorts are flat and easy to walk around, making the “hotel to beach” transition a breeze for those with buggies.

1. Playa Blanca: The Family Favourite
   Literally meaning “White Beach,” this is the island’s most southerly and arguably sunniest resort. It has grown from a tiny fishing village into a sophisticated hub with a stunning marina.

   Who is it for? Families and couples who want a “nicer” feel. It’s less “neon” than Puerto del Carmen.

   Best Thing to Do: Take a water taxi to the Papagayo Beaches—these are the “postcard” coves you see in all the brochures.

   2026/2027 Deal Tip: Look at the Marina Rubicón area for newer, high-end all-inclusive hotels.

2. Puerto del Carmen: The Lively LegendThe original and biggest resort on the island. It’s split into the “Old Town” (charming harbour) and the “New Town” (the 6km long “Strip”).

   Who is it for? People who want options. You have hundreds of bars, three massive beaches, and some of the best nightlife on the island.

   Best Thing to Do: Walk the coastal path to Puerto Calero. It’s a stunning 5km trek with great views, and you can get the boat back!

   2026/2027 Deal Tip: Stay near Playa Pocillos for a quieter, more spacious all-inclusive experience that’s still close to the action.

3. Costa Teguise: The Windsurfing Hub: Located on the east coast, this was purpose-built for tourism but has a lovely, laid-back vibe with plenty of Spanish squares.

   Who is it for? Families with older kids and water sports fans. It can be a bit breezy, which is a godsend in the August heat.

   Best Thing to Do: Visit the Lanzarote Aquarium or spend a day at the AquaPark (the biggest on the island).

   2026/2027 Deal Tip: This is often the best-value resort for “Free Child Places” from the UK.

4. Puerto Calero: The Chic RetreatThis isn’t a “beach resort” in the traditional sense; it’s a luxury marina. It’s the place to go if you want to feel like a millionaire for a week.

   Who is it for? Couples and groups who want peace, quiet, and high-end dining.

   Best Thing to Do: Book the Yellow Submarine! It’s one of the few places in the world you can go 30m deep in a real sub.

   2026/2027 Deal Tip: Check out Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa—it’s one of the best adults-only all-inclusives in the Canaries.

5.  Arrecife: The Capital Culture
   Often overlooked by tourists, the capital is where the “real” Lanzarote lives. It has a beautiful city beach (Playa del Reducto) and a stunning lagoon.

   Who is it for? Travellers who want a “city break” feel with a beach attached.

   Best Thing to Do: Have a drink at the Charco de San Ginés—a saltwater lagoon lined with blue-shuttered houses and fishing boats.

   2026/2027 Deal Tip: The Arrecife Gran Hotel offers the best views on the island; look for their half-board or all-inclusive upgrades.
