Hello! I’m Jake, and in this guide we’re going to show you some of the best places to stay in Lanzarote. So in no particular order - here we go!
The gorgeous Punta Mujeres is a coastal village on the northern east coast of the island, full of small, traditional white buildings.
And when a village is not only by the coast, but also this pretty, and it has major tourist attractions you think that it would feel more touristy. But it really doesn't. like it's got a really small village local kind of authentic feel and I really love that.
Most buildings have pretty terraces and balconies, reaching to make the most of the beautiful views out to sea. Historically a fishing village, the small streets and alleyways all seem to lead you to the sea. Perhaps Punta Mujeres’ biggest draw for tourists though is the natural bathing pools.
Filled with seawater and protected by huge breakwaters of naturally occurring rocks, swim in these pools at the right time of day and you’ll get to experience the sea’s waves smashing against these rocks to make huge plumes and sprays. You won’t find white sand here - the beach at Punta Mujeres has a different beauty.
The beach at Punta Mujeres is beautiful in its own way you know it's not white sand, it's sort of like dark black rocks and white waves smashing up against them. It's a really great place to see but maybe it's not a perfect beach if you’re thinking of having a swim.
Mere minutes away from popular attractions like Jameos Del Agua and Cueva de los Verdes; Punta Mujeres is the perfect place to stay if you’re looking for a mix of nearby things to do and relaxing isolation.
Somewhere definitely not so isolated is Puerto Del Carmen, maybe the best known resort town on the island. At just 10 minutes from the airport, it’s a perfect place to explore the island from.
Really it's got all of the comforts you’d expect from a resort town. It's got restaurants, bars clubs, nice beaches and what we think is really the gem a nice little fishing port as well; it's called El Varadero and you can see lots of little leisure boats moored up there. It’s a really lovely place to go for a nice wander.
Puerto del Carmen stretches for 6 kilometres along the coastline, so be sure to check exactly where you’re planning on staying to get the most out of your location. But make no mistake, wherever you stay, you’re going to have everything you need just a stone’s throw away. And that’s to say nothing of the amazing sunsets.
So the shape of the island means that from Puerto del Carmen to the sea you can also see some of the mountains over there and where the sun sets behind them and get really lovely Orange Glow.
Like many resort towns, Puerto Del Carmen is full of energy - restaurants, bars, nightlife, you name it. But in exchange, you do lose a little of the authenticity you’ll find in smaller towns.
If you’re looking for authenticity, look no further than Teguise, the oldest Spanish settlement in the whole of the Canaries, dating back to 1402. It’s located slightly inland, but still very close to lots of attractions and coastal areas, making it a perfect home base if you’ve hired a car, and want to see as much of the island as possible.
So this main town of Teguise is known as La Villa, it’s just referred to as La Villa. Teguise is the region, or Costa Teguise is the tourism place down by the beach but this is a lot more quaint, and local and it's just got a lot more relaxed feel to it.
There are few hotels, and not many organised tours stop here. This makes for hushed streets and squares that perfectly preserve the past. But don’t mistake the quiet for isolation - this town hosts the island’s biggest street market every Sunday. Also, up on the peak of the extinct volcano overlooking the town, you’ll find the fortress Castillo Santa Barbara, home to the Pirate Museum! If you’re interested, you can learn more about the museum in our Lanzarote Travel Guide.
Just a 15 minute drive towards the sea away from the peaks surrounding Teguise is Lanzarote’s third largest resort - Costa Teguise...
This man Jake James is amazing the best I've seen, just a shame he doesn't do more videos on any of the other islands. Love him😊
great videos! I only miss Playa Blanca which is such a great place
Playa Blanca is gorgeous. Wouldnt stay anywhere else in Lanzarote.
Really? How come😅😅 I’m planning to go next month if my flight doesn’t get cancelled
Absolutely - Playa Blanca is the nicest place on Lanzarote
Puerto Calero was amazing. We are going again in April !
Been 24 times in last 5 year's.feels like home.love it.
Fantastic Jake thank you
My pleasure!
Awesome! Costa Teguise is lovely! 💙💙
Couldn't agree more!
Hello
Nice
I've watched all your videos about Lanzarote as we are as a family of four are planning to head in April. Its too hot in the Summer and this way we can still explore without sweating. We havent decided on the location where to stay yet but I am going to rent a car.
So glad you found our videos useful. Please do let us know if you need any help planning your trip :)
I’ve heard Costa teguise is really disappointing. Playa Blanca is where it is at apparently 😅
I’ve went to Lanzarote 3 times in a row
Any tips for where to stay?
Holiday Extras Travel Guides my fav is Rosamar
@@HolidayExtrasTravelGuides gran castillo playa blanca (all inclusive)
How about the south of the island ? Montana roja & playa Blanca. Thanks
Check out my latest Lanzarote travel video for inspiration on your holiday! 😀
I stayed in costa tuigese when I went to Lanzarote twice
A very solid choice! 😎
Surely playa blanca is better than windy teguise... Just my opinion
When I lived in Lanzarote two years ago Playa Blanca was becoming quite tired and shabby ........ In need of some love.
Costa Teguise can be windy but to me has a much nicer feel to it and there is lots more to discover around the North of the island
Hi, what’s the weather like in late May? Never been before but looks lovely. 👍

I really don't understand why people would copy the style of 1990s bland BBC travel Shows - by themselves. The dull saccharine blandness type of thing they make you watch on a ferry or at school l in the 80s. This shit is so dated man!! Have some personality you're not the one show. Compare this to Anthony Boardain or Bald and Bankrupt
Blimey, leave the poor guy a lone, you'd think he was a mass murderer the way you just slated him down.
