If you’re looking to upgrade from a standard holiday to something truly special, a 5-star all-inclusive escape to Lanzarote is the way to do it.
Lanzarote has carved out a niche as the “sophisticated” Canary Island, and its luxury hotel scene for 2026 and 2027 reflects that perfectly.
Forget towering concrete blocks; here, 5-star luxury means volcanic stone architecture, infinity pools that blend into the Atlantic, and “farm-to-table” dining that showcases the island’s unique Malvasía wines and fresh seafood.
5-Star All-Inclusive Lanzarote: Luxury in the Land of Volcanoes The beauty of a 5-star all-inclusive in Lanzarote is the sheer variety. Whether you want an adults-only sanctuary where the only sound is the waves, or a family-focused palace where the kids are treated like royalty, the island delivers.
In 2026, the trend is moving towards “Ultra All-Inclusive”—where premium brands, spa circuits, and à la carte dining aren’t “extras,” but part of the experience.
The “Total Relaxation” Couples: Those who want to fly 4 hours, check into a resort like Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa (Adults Only), and not have to think about a single bill for the rest of the week.
Luxury-Minded Families: Parents who want high-end facilities for themselves (think Thalasso spas and sushi bars) while the kids are entertained in clubs like the one at Princesa Yaiza.
Special Occasion Groups: Whether it’s a milestone 50th or a silver anniversary, 5-star resorts in Playa Blanca provide the perfect backdrop for big celebrations.
Lanzarote’s luxury is concentrated in three main areas, each with its own vibe:
Playa Blanca: The undisputed king of 5-star family luxury. This is where you’ll find the Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort (famous for its “Kikoland” kids’ area) and the brand new Barceló Playa Blanca, which has an exclusive “Royal Level” for that extra layer of luxury.
Puerto Calero: The “Millionaire’s Marina.” This is the most exclusive corner of the island. Staying at a 5-star resort here, like Secrets Lanzarote, means you’re just steps away from superyachts and designer boutiques.
Costa Teguise: Home to the iconic Paradisus by Meliá Salinas Lanzarote. Designed in part by César Manrique himself, this 5-star adults-only hotel is a masterpiece of botanical gardens and volcanic lagoons.
Top Tip for 2026/2027: Look for the “Royal Level” or “Preferred Club” upgrades. Many Lanzarote 5-star hotels now offer a “hotel within a hotel” concept. These upgrades usually give you access to private pools, exclusive breakfast rooms, and a dedicated lounge with premium drinks—perfect for avoiding the main buffet rush.
Gastronomy: In a 5-star resort, the “all-inclusive” buffet isn’t just a buffet. It’s a showcase of local cheeses, fresh Atlantic fish, and international fine dining. You’ll often have access to multiple à la carte restaurants (Italian, Japanese, Canarian) included in your stay.
The Spa Experience: Most 5-star hotels in Lanzarote have world-class wellness centres. Many all-inclusive packages for 2026 now include a complimentary daily spa circuit or a discount on treatments.
Superior Sleep: You aren’t just paying for the food; you’re paying for the thread count. Expect pillow menus, rainfall showers, and balconies that feel like private living rooms.
