Branded International Spirits: No more “local” gin that tastes like hairspray. You get the Tanqueray, the Absolut, and the Bacardi as standard.
Restocked Minibars: Your in-room fridge is topped up daily with beer, soft drinks, and snacks at no extra cost.
Unlimited À La Carte: Instead of being restricted to the main buffet, you can often dine in the specialty Italian, Asian, or Steakhouse restaurants every night of your stay.
Daily Spa Access: A daily “hydrotherapy circuit” (saunas, steam rooms, and thermal pools) is often included to keep you in peak relaxation mode.
The Financial Savvy of Going “Fully” While the upfront cost might be £150 more per person, consider the value. If you’re a couple who enjoys a branded G&T before dinner, a bottle of water by the bed, and a couple of lunches in the themed restaurants, you’ll “break even” by day three.
For the 2027 season, look for “Preferred Club” or “Star Prestige” labels—these are the industry secret for getting a fully inclusive experience in some of the island’s most beautiful beachfront locations.
Luxury in Lanzarote is unlike luxury anywhere else in the world. Thanks to the legacy of local artist César Manrique, the island has avoided the “concrete jungle” look of other resorts. Instead, 5-star luxury here is defined by low-rise white-washed buildings, volcanic rock architecture, and infinity pools that look like they’ve been carved out of the Atlantic coast.
For the upcoming seasons, luxury isn’t just about gold taps; it’s about space and service. Top-tier resorts like Paradisus by Meliá Salinas in Costa Teguise or Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa in Puerto Calero focus on “Quiet Luxury.” These are resorts where you never have to “fight” for a sunlounger and the staff remember exactly how you like your morning café con leche.
Puerto Calero: This is the most exclusive corner of the island. It’s a chic marina filled with superyachts and designer boutiques. Staying at a luxury resort here means you get the benefit of a peaceful, gated-feel environment with high-end dining options.
Playa Blanca: If you want the “Grand Resort” feel, Playa Blanca is home to the Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel. It is regularly voted the best hotel in Spain, featuring an enormous thalassotherapy centre and some of the best-rated fine-dining restaurants on the island.
The Luxury “Plus” Experience When booking a luxury 5-star break in 2027, pay attention to the “Experience” add-ons. Many high-end hotels now offer “Destination Inclusive” perks. For example, a stay at the Dreams Lanzarote Playa Dorada might include a private wine tasting in the La Geria volcanic vineyards or a guided trek through the Timanfaya National Park. This turns a “hotel stay” into a full immersion into Lanzarote’s unique culture.
