Travelling as a single parent can feel like a daunting task—you’re the entertainer, the lifeguard, and the bag-carrier all at once. Lanzarote is one of the most supportive destinations for solo-parent travel because the resorts are so self-contained and the “all-inclusive” community is so social.
In 2026, more operators are acknowledging the “single parent” market by offering rooms without the “single supplement” penalty.
When you book an all-inclusive, you remove the stress of navigating a foreign menu alone with children or worrying about the bill at the end of every meal.
The real “win” for single parents in Lanzarote is the Kids’ Club. These aren’t just babysitting services; they are social hubs. While your kids are making “holiday best friends,” you’re often sat by the pool next to other parents in the same boat. It turns a “solo” trip into a social one.
Choose Playa Blanca: It’s the flattest resort, making it easy to push a buggy or keep track of wandering kids without hills or stairs in the way.
Use the Airport Meet & Greet: For a few extra pounds, having someone meet you at Lanzarote Airport (ACE) and help with the bags to the transfer can be a lifesaver when you’re outnumbered by children.
Book a Hotel with a Splash Park: Resorts like Rio Playa Blanca have on-site water slides. It means you don’t have to pack up the whole “kit” for a day trip to a big waterpark; you can just wander 50 yards from your room.
