Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort
Princesa Yaiza is a five-star, suite-only resort on the beach at Playa Blanca, the quiet southern tip of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. Families come for suites that start at 43 m², a baby club that takes children from four months, six pools and a row of restaurants, with the sand of Playa Dorada straight out of the gate.

Is it worth it?
The quick read before the detail: who the resort suits, what the room rate covers and what it doesn't, and the facts to skim first.
Princesa Yaiza is a large, five-star resort where every room is a suite, the smallest of them 43 m² with its own sitting area, so families rarely feel cramped. It sits right on Playa Dorada, the main sandy beach in Playa Blanca, and it runs a baby club from four months, unusually early for the island. The trade-off is cost. Rooms are sold room-only, so food and drink across the nine restaurants and the bars is charged on top, and in July and August, with 385 rooms and a big family crowd, it's busy and it isn't cheap. You'll get the most from it if you'd happily pay for good dinners and a proper suite, and less if you want one all-inclusive price or a small, quiet hotel.
Best for
You want spacious suites, a beach at the gate, a baby club from four months and a choice of proper restaurants, and you're happy to pay for food and drink on top of the room.
Maybe not for
You want one all-inclusive price with no daily food bill, a small quiet hotel or waterslides and theming for older children.
Best ages
Babies upwards. The baby club takes children from four months, and the age clubs run through to a teens programme.
What stands out
Suites from 43 m², a Repsol Sun restaurant (a Spanish dining accolade), the beach on the doorstep and the resort's own farm and winery.
What to check
The baby club's hours and cost, and whether any pool is heated for a winter or spring trip, both of which come from the resort directly.
Where is it?
Beachfront on Playa Dorada in Playa Blanca, at the southern tip of Lanzarote, about 17 miles (28 km) from the airport.
Quick facts for families
What the resort is like
Where it sits, how the site is laid out, and how you get around with young children.
The resort opened in 2002 and covers 55,000 m² of low-rise white buildings in a neo-colonial style, arranged around courtyards and pool areas, with Arabic-influenced archways and tiling. It belongs to the Canarian group Rosa Hotels, which also owns the Finca de Uga farm and the Bodega Stratvs winery that supply its kitchens. With 385 rooms it's a busy resort in summer rather than a small or secluded one, and families tend to describe it as well run and reliably staffed. It holds a 2024 Biosphere certification for responsible tourism, with solar power, no single-use plastics and organic farming behind it.
It sits directly on Playa Dorada in the middle of Playa Blanca, at the island's southern tip, with views out across the Atlantic to Fuerteventura and the smaller Isla de Lobos on the horizon. The promenade runs along the front of the resort, so the beach and the town's restaurants, shops and ice cream places are a short walk from the gate. That's worth having with young children, since the beach is a step from the gate rather than a drive away.
The one part of the site worth understanding before you book is the family building, known as Block D. It's a separate zone linked to the main building by a covered walkway, with its own pool, the Guayaba pool bar and a family breakfast buffet, so families can stay close to the children's facilities without crossing the whole resort. There's no internal shuttle service; it's a walkable hotel complex rather than a spread-out village. For the wider island, its beaches and when to go, see our Lanzarote guide.
Rooms and suites
Every room type with its official size, then which layouts suit a family with a baby or toddler.
Every room here is a suite in format, which is the resort's main selling point. Even the smallest, the Superior Double at 43 m², has a separate sitting area, and the larger suites add one or two proper bedrooms. The rooms fall into five collections: Superior, Ocean for sea views, Family Fun in the family building, Relax which is mostly adults-only and Unique at the top. The table is every type with its official size and who it sleeps; the guidance after it is which suit a family with young children.
| Room | Collection | Size | Sleeps | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Superior Double Room | Superior | 43 m² | 2 adults + infant | Garden or pool view, a 12 m² terrace, a separate dressing room and a bathtub. The most compact room, and tight once a cot is in. |
| Suite | Superior | 65 m² | 3 adults + child + infant | A separate living room, so the entry-level suite for keeping a baby’s sleep away from where you sit. |
| Adapted Suite | Superior | 65 m² | 3 adults + child + infant | Mobility-adapted, in the main building: 90 cm doors, a 60 cm bed, a ramp to the terrace, an accessible shower and handrails, a 43 cm WC, an audible doorbell and a warning light. |
| Double Superior Sea View | Ocean | 43 m² | 2 adults + infant | The Superior Double layout with a sea view and a 12 m² terrace. |
| Suite Sea View | Ocean | 65 m² | 3 adults + child + infant | A sea-view suite with a separate living room. |
| Junior Suite Sea View | Ocean | 45 m² | 2 adults + child + infant | Sea views, a sofa bed in an open-plan living area and a large 16 m² terrace. |
| Suite | Family Fun | 65 m² | 3 adults + child + infant | The Superior Suite layout with a 10 m² terrace, over in the family building (Block D) near the children's pool. |
| Duplex | Family Fun | 63 m² | 4 adults + child + infant | Two floors: a king and a sofa bed below, two singles above; one bathroom and a guest WC. |
| Family Suite | Family Fun | 88 m² | 4 adults + child + infant | Two separate bedrooms, a living room with a sofa bed and two bathrooms; the best layout for undisturbed baby sleep. |
| Royal Kids Suite | Family Fun | 88 m² | 3 adults + child + infant | Third floor of the family building, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and it arrives with the full baby and child equipment kit. |
| Connecting Suite | Family Fun | 108 m² | 6 to 7, confirm at booking | A 65 m² suite and a 43 m² room joined by a covered hallway, with two bathrooms and two terraces. Official sources give different maximum numbers, so confirm the headcount when you book. |
| Double Superior Relax | Relax | 43 m² | 2 adults, 16+ | Adults-only. Includes breakfast at Isla de Lobos and daily thalasso circuit access. |
| Double Superior Relax Sea View | Relax | 43 m² | 2 adults, 16+ | The adults-only Relax room with a sea view and the same package. |
| Suite Relax | Relax | 65 m² | 3 adults, 16+ | Adults-only, with a separate living room and the Relax package. |
| Suite Excellence | Relax | 65 m² | 3 adults + child + infant | The one Relax-collection room families can book: sea view, breakfast included, plus a massage per adult, cava and a cheese platter on arrival. |
| Presidential Suite | Unique | 99 m² | 4 adults + infant | Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a 38 m² terrace, a games console, a personal assistant, thalasso circuit access and late check-out to 15:00 (subject to availability). |
| Royal Suite | Unique | 134 m² | 4 adults + infant | Two king bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen and a 114 m² sea-view terrace, plus breakfast, champagne on arrival, a games console, thalasso circuit access and return airport transfers included. |
For a family with one baby, the Superior Suite at 65 m² is the natural choice, because the separate living room gives you somewhere to sit once the baby is asleep; the 43 m² Superior Double works for a couple or a parent and newborn but gets tight once a travel cot goes in. For two children, or a toddler and a baby who need to sleep apart, the Family Suite at 88 m² is the most practical layout, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The Duplex at 63 m² is a cheaper two-level alternative, though it's a snugger fit. Travelling with grandparents, the Connecting Suite at 108 m² is effectively two rooms joined into one. If you'd rather not pack baby equipment, the Royal Kids Suite at 88 m² arrives set up with a full kit, though its third-floor position means stairs or a lift down to the pools.
Cots are available on request rather than automatic, so ask for one when you book, and check whether there's a charge at the same time. Take your check-in and check-out times from your booking confirmation.
The adults-only rooms
The Relax collection is mostly adults-only, from 16, so the Double Superior Relax and the Suite Relax can't be booked for a family with younger children. The one exception is the Suite Excellence, which families can book: it's a sea-view suite that adds a massage per adult, a bottle of cava and a Finca de Uga cheese platter on arrival, plus small gifts for children.
Every restaurant and bar
All nine restaurants and the bars, how the board basis works, and where children fit.
Food is charged separately here. There's no half-board or all-inclusive plan from the hotel; you pay for what you eat across nine restaurants and the bars, which is worth building into the budget. A handful of room types include breakfast, and some UK booking agents may package room and meals as half board, so check what your own rate covers.
Isla de Lobos is the flagship, an à la carte restaurant serving modern Canarian cooking on a terrace with sea views towards Fuerteventura. It holds a Repsol Sun, Spain's national equivalent of a starred-restaurant rating, awarded here every year since 2019. It isn't a Michelin star, but it's a genuine mark of quality. Dinner runs Tuesday to Saturday, 18:30 to 22:00, and needs a reservation. Its breakfast service is adults-only, so it works as an evening out for parents rather than a family dinner.
Kampai is the Japanese restaurant, with teppanyaki cooked at the table and a sushi bar. All its soy sauces are gluten-free, and there's a children's menu; it's worth booking.
Don Giovanni is the Italian, serving pizza and fresh pasta on an open-air terrace with live music each evening. It's set up for families, with a children's menu and room for children to move around, and it's where the Dream Camp evening starts before children head off to Capitan Park.
Más Tapas is one of the nine restaurants, a tapas spot; ask at reception for its menu and hours once you're there.
Tunera Pool is an open-air lunch restaurant by the main pools, serving tapas, grilled meats, fresh fish and rice dishes, with a full vegan menu. It's lunch only and takes reservations.
Three buffets handle breakfast and themed evening dinners. La Hacienda is poolside and open-air, with seasonal themed family dinners accompanied by live performances. Yaiza is the main and largest space, with a different theme most evenings. Piazzeta is the quietest and most intimate of the three, with a sweet and savoury breakfast spread. A fourth buffet sits outside the resort's official count of nine restaurants: the Family Suite Buffet, in the family building's pool area, open seasonally, with sourdough bread, pastries, fresh fruit and juices for a quieter family breakfast. The buffets are the easy option with young children: no booking, high chairs and plenty of choice. There's also an à la carte breakfast at Isla de Lobos, cooked to order with sea views and limited seating; it's adults-only, included for Relax-room guests, and a paid, app-booked extra for other guests at €15 a head, rising to €35 for non-guests.
On dietary needs, Kampai's soy is gluten-free and Tunera Pool has a vegan menu; for anything else, flag it when you book.
The bars
The Lobby Bar Mararía has a sea-view terrace, a full range of coffees, cocktails, premium mixed drinks and beers, a creative cocktail menu from in-house mixologists and live music some evenings. Bar Salón Mencey sits by the Teatro Timanfaya show venue, so parents can have a drink there while children watch the nightly Mini Disco. The Guayaba pool bar serves the family-building pool, with a full lunch menu to the loungers, and La Papaya is a poolside juice, ice cream and cocktail bar with lounger service. La Gelatería, an ice cream parlour on the central square, serves artisan ice creams, cakes and crêpes, and faces the beach and the promenade. A kiosk pool bar at Capitan Park opens seasonally, and 4 Lunas, in La Plaza, the resort's central courtyard, is a summer-only bar with live music, open Thursday and Friday evenings in July and August (19:00 to midnight in July, 20:00 to 01:00 in August), for a drink after the children are down.
How eating here works
Nothing is included in the room rate unless your room type says so, so plan to pay as you go. The buffets and the pool restaurants take walk-ins; the à la carte restaurants, and Isla de Lobos in particular, want a reservation, made by phone (+34 928 519 300, extension 9), email ([email protected]) or the hotel app once you're there. If your child eats early, the buffets and the poolside lunch spots are the flexible choice.
The pools
Six pools across the site, and what's known about them for young children.
The resort has six pools. The main pool area is in the centre of the site, next to the buffets, the Tunera Pool restaurant and the La Papaya bar, and it's where most guests gather. The family building has its own pool, served by the Guayaba pool bar, which keeps families close to their block. Within Capitan Park, the 10,000 m² children's zone, there are dedicated children's pools, and an indoor soft-play area sits next to the buffets and Kampai.
For a toddler, the depth of the children's pools is worth checking, and for a winter or spring trip it's worth knowing whether any pool is heated, so ask the resort directly if you're travelling between October and April. The Relax rooms lean on the thalasso circuit rather than a dedicated adults-only pool.
The beach
Playa Dorada is the wide sandy beach in the centre of Playa Blanca, and the resort opens straight onto it, with the promenade running along the front. On Lanzarote's sheltered south coast, the water is calmer than on the island's north and west, and families describe it as fine for paddling and young children. Sun loungers are set out on the sand near the resort.
One thing to check on the ground: lifeguard cover on a public beach like this is a seasonal council service rather than a hotel one, so don't count on it year-round and check on arrival.
Through the resort you can arrange water activities off the beach and around the coast: stand-up paddleboarding at Papagayo, surf lessons at Famara, kayaking and snorkelling, a submarine trip and beginner PADI dives at the underwater sculpture museum, private or group catamaran trips along the Papagayo coast, plus dolphin-spotting and Isla de Lobos boat trips. Parascending and jet bikes are on the list too.
Babies and toddlers
The baby club and the age clubs, the equipment, and what's confirmed against what to ask about.
The feature families come back to is the baby club, called Ocean Bubble, which takes children from four months to three years, one of the earliest start ages on Lanzarote. Certified childcare staff run it as a nursery service, so you can leave a baby or toddler in professional care and use the resort. The hours, session structure and cost are the first things most parents want to know, so email or call to pin them down before you book.
The clubs sit inside Capitan Park, a 10,000 m² outdoor zone themed around a seafaring adventure, and they run by age at the same time, which helps siblings: Ocean Bubble for the babies and toddlers, Starfish for three to fives, Sea Explorers for six to eights, Guardians of the Sea for nine to thirteens and a Teens club for thirteen and over. Not every club runs in low season, so check the programme for your dates.
There's an indoor soft-play area for ages up to eight, with soft flooring, slides and a ball pit, supervised by the entertainment team and next to the buffets and Kampai, so you can eat nearby while children play. Older children have a paid Soccer School for fives to sixteens, open to hotel guests only: daily 10:00 to 12:00 sessions run by two former professionals with UEFA coaching badges, Gary Sperry (formerly of Leicester City) and Scott Nisbet (formerly of Rangers), at €40 for two days, €60 for three or €80 for four. There are also morning creative workshops at Capitan Park, a different one most weeks, things like decorating a t-shirt or a candle jar, booked in advance at the Infocenter for a modest fee, and a free nightly Mini Disco at 19:30 that ends with a diploma. Dream Camp is a ticketed evening for four to thirteens, running 17:00 to 21:30 on set nights through the summer at €75 a child on top of the room rate: dinner at Don Giovanni, then a themed night camp in Capitan Park with tipis, stories and games. For summer 2026 the dates are 23, 27 and 30 June, 4, 7, 11, 14, 18, 21, 25 and 28 July and 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, 25 and 29 August. Four family gala days across the year, at Easter, in summer, at Halloween and at Christmas, add outdoor shows and markets.
For equipment, the Royal Kids Suite arrives with a full kit: a baby set for ages nought to three (a baby bath, changing mat, bath seat, monitor, steriliser, bottle warmer, a baby-food maker, a high chair and a stroller) and a child kit for three to twelves (a bath seat, a WC adapter, a humidifier, a washing kit, night lights and a welcome gift). If you're not in that suite and want equipment arranged, contact the resort in advance to confirm what's possible.
One thing to watch when booking: the resort's booking engine counts a baby as under two and a child as three to twelve, while the baby club itself runs to three. If your child is between two and three, check which age band the booking system puts them in, because the occupancy's infant slot follows the under-two definition, not the club's cut-off.
On resortThings to do
Beyond the beach and the pools, a lot is included. The sports are free for guests: floodlit tennis courts, padel, basketball, beach volleyball and a football court, with equipment from the Infocenter and paid coaching if you want it. The gym is in the family building, with Technogym equipment, open 06:00 to 22:00, for guests aged 16 and over. Free guided fitness classes, no need to book, rotate through spots around the resort such as La Plaza, the Lounge Bar and the main pool: Zumba, Pilates, Aquafit, Aquadance and yoga, with the schedule changing by season. The seafront promenade suits a morning run.
In the evenings there's live music at the Lobby Bar and at Don Giovanni, the nightly Mini Disco for children and seasonal outdoor shows at the Teatro Timanfaya, plus themed buffet nights. The resort also runs guest-only one-off events through the year, from summer pool parties to themed evenings, so it's worth asking what's on for your dates.
Adults' downtimeThe thalasso spa
The Thalassotherapy Centre and Spa runs to 2,000 m² facing the sea. Its centrepiece is the "Thousand and One Nights" circuit, a warm seawater route at 34°C with hydromassage, a hammam, a sauna and a relaxation zone; it's included daily for Relax-room guests, per stay in the top two suites and a paid add-on for everyone else. There are massages, including a one-hour "Sleep Deeply" massage that comes with the Suite Excellence, plus facials, body and couples treatments alongside a beauty area for hair, nails and waxing. The treatments use SCENS, a Spanish vegan organic skincare brand. The gym is 16 and over, and older children may not be able to use the seawater circuit either, so check with the resort before you plan on it. Book treatments or circuit sessions directly on +34 928 519 300 extension 5175, or by email at [email protected].
The area and days out
The town at the gate, the beaches nearby and the family day trips further out.
Playa Blanca town is a short walk along the promenade: restaurants, bars, ice cream, boutiques and supermarkets including a Spar and a Lidl. It's the quietest and most family-oriented of Lanzarote's three resort towns. Playa Flamingo, a second sandy beach, is a 10 to 15 minute walk west, and often less busy.
Playa Papagayo and Playa de la Cera, about 10 minutes by car, are the sheltered turquoise coves that Lanzarote is known for, down a coastal track with a small entry fee for cars, waived if you arrive by boat trip. Rubicón Marina, also about 10 minutes away, is where the boat excursions and the Fuerteventura ferries leave from; the crossing to Corralejo on Fuerteventura takes about 25 minutes, and its long white beaches make a full day out.
For volcanic Lanzarote, Timanfaya National Park, the Fire Mountains, is about 35 to 40 minutes away and easy with children, since the main tour is by coach with no walking, with camel rides and a restaurant that cooks over geothermal heat. Jameos del Agua and the Cueva de los Verdes, about 50 minutes north, are lava tubes designed by the artist César Manrique, with a restaurant and an underground lake home to tiny blind albino crabs. His cliffside Mirador del Río viewpoint and his former home, the Fundación César Manrique, are the other cultural stops. The resort's own winery, Bodega Stratvs, in the La Geria wine valley about 20 minutes away, runs tours and tastings.
For a straightforward family day, Rancho Texas near Puerto del Carmen (about 30 minutes) is a zoo and water park in one, popular from about age three, and the Costa Teguise water park is about 40 minutes north.
The resort books the outings for you. Its own Bodega Stratvs winery visit is an adults' half-day, around a 60-minute tour with a tasting of three wines and Finca de Uga cheeses, including Don Nicolás, named Best Cheese in Spain at the 2024 World Cheese Awards; the Saturday sound pairing and Sunday brunch there are more family-friendly than the tastings, which are aimed at adults. There are three private signature tours: Lanzarote Discover, a chauffeured day taking in the Jameos del Agua lava tunnels, the Cueva de los Verdes and lunch at Bodega Stratvs; Vulcano, a chauffeured tour of Timanfaya and the La Geria wine region with a tasting at the winery; and The Sail, a private catamaran along the Papagayo coast for swimming, diving or simply relaxing. Beyond those there's a long list of standard activities like quad and off-road buggy tours and diving, and a wide range of group excursions: a sunset and dolphins boat trip, a group catamaran, an Isla de Lobos and dolphins outing, a Fuerteventura day trip, a La Graciosa island excursion with lunch and drinks served on board, a Northern Route (Jameos del Agua, Mirador del Río, an aloe vera plantation), a Southern Route (Timanfaya, La Geria, the El Golfo green lagoon) and a combined Discover Lanzarote day covering all four of those stops.
Supplies and health nearby
Playa Blanca town has a Spar and a Lidl within easy reach for nappies, formula and the odd self-catered meal, and pharmacies in the centre. Lanzarote's only general hospital, the Hospital Universitario Dr José Molina Orosa in Arrecife, is the island's 24-hour A&E and roughly 35 to 40 minutes away by car. Lanzarote is covered by standard Spain travel advice, so check gov.uk before you travel. Tap water is technically safe, but the resort and locals serve bottled, and most families stick to bottled.
Loves and gripes
What families consistently praise, what they flag, how it compares, the journey in and the weather by month.
What families love
- The location, with Playa Dorada straight off the gate and the Papagayo beaches a short drive away.
- The suite sizes; even the entry-level room is what other resorts would call a family room.
- The baby club from four months, the feature families with babies mention most.
- The food across the restaurants, especially Isla de Lobos, Kampai and Don Giovanni, with breakfast singled out.
- Warm, multilingual and family-minded staff.
- A programme that spans the ages, from the baby club to a teens club.
Common gripes
- The cost; it's at the pricier end for Lanzarote, and room-only means a daily food and drink bill on top.
- It's busy in July and August, with 385 rooms and a big family crowd.
- It isn't all-inclusive, so families wanting one predictable price should compare the all-inclusive resorts in Playa Blanca.
For what it's worth in the round, it's a repeat winner: named Best Family Hotel in Spain by Condé Nast Traveler, a TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice in 2023 and 2024, rated 4.6 out of 5 by British Airways Holidays guests in 2025 and the top pick in Mumsnet's own roundup of Lanzarote's family hotels. It's picked up further quality awards from TUI, Jet2Holidays and HolidayCheck in recent years too.
Against the Playa Blanca all-inclusivesHow it compares
Most of Princesa Yaiza's neighbours in Playa Blanca are all-inclusive, which is the main contrast. Gran Castillo Tagoro is more theme-led, with waterslides and a 5D cinema and an all-inclusive-plus option, though its baby club starts at six months rather than four; Princesa Yaiza tends to rate higher on food and staff. TUI BLUE Flamingo Beach, on Playa Flamingo just west, is all-inclusive and cheaper, apartment-style with a dedicated 0 to 3 baby lounge, but it's booked mainly through TUI; Princesa Yaiza has more dining and the better beach. Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park is also beachfront and all-inclusive, with seven pools including a waterslide and the Monkey Club for nought to seventeens; Princesa Yaiza's baby club starts earlier, from four months, and its suite format and Repsol Sun dining set it apart from Iberostar's all-inclusive programme. Over in Costa Teguise, H10 Suites Lanzarote Gardens has a baby club from six months and a flat, calm toddler beach and sits closer to the airport, so that choice comes down to which side of the island you want.
The journey and the timingGetting there and when to go
The resort's address is Av. de Papagayo 22, 35580 Playa Blanca, useful for a taxi or sat-nav. It's about 17 miles (28 km) from Lanzarote airport, roughly 30 minutes by taxi, hire car or the bus to Playa Blanca. Transfers are arranged through the resort's Guest Experience Centre, and they're only included in the room rate for the Royal Suite, so for other rooms you book a taxi, coach or hire car yourself. You don't need a car for a resort-and-town stay, since the promenade and shops are close and the ferry terminal is about 10 minutes by car or 30 minutes on foot, but a car opens up the rest of the island. The resort is open year-round; the warm, quieter windows are May and June and September and October.
Month by monthWeather
Playa Blanca sits on the sunny, dry south coast of Lanzarote, and the island has one broad climate rather than the sharp north-south split of the bigger Canaries. Days are warm most of the year and rarely push past the high twenties even in summer, with a steady Atlantic breeze. The best family months are May and June and September and October, warm without the July and August crowds and prices, and the sea is warmest from August to October. Winters are mild: what rain there is falls mostly between December and February, and even then it's modest, 16 to 17 mm in the wettest months, similar to a dry spring in London. Capitan Park's indoor soft-play and other undercover spaces mean a shoulder-season trip still has plenty for younger children; if you're going then, ask the resort whether any pool is heated. Now and then a calima, a hot Saharan wind, brings dust and a few very warm days, mostly in summer.
| Month | Daytime high | Overnight low | Rain | Wet days | Sea temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 21° | 14° | 17 mm | 3 | 19° |
| February | 21.5° | 14.5° | 16 mm | 2 | 18° |
| March | 23° | 15° | 11 mm | 2 | 19° |
| April | 24° | 16° | 4 mm | 1 | 19° |
| May | 25.5° | 17.5° | 1 mm | 0 | 20° |
| June | 27° | 19.5° | 0 mm | 0 | 21° |
| July | 29° | 21° | 0 mm | 0 | 22° |
| August | 30° | 21.5° | 0 mm | 0 | 23° |
| September | 29° | 21° | 4 mm | 0 | 23° |
| October | 27.5° | 20° | 12 mm | 2 | 23° |
| November | 24.5° | 17.5° | 15 mm | 3 | 22° |
| December | 22° | 15.5° | 17 mm | 3 | 20° |
Typical monthly averages from weather-station records. Sea temperature is the open-water figure, so a sheltered bay can feel a degree or two warmer. The resort is open all year.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark and when this guide was last refreshed.
Does the Baby Club really take babies from four months?
Yes, from four months to three years, which is earlier than most Lanzarote resorts. The hours and cost are the things to pin down first, so email [email protected] before you book if the club is the reason you're choosing the resort.
Does Isla de Lobos have a Michelin star?
No. It holds a Repsol Sun, the Spanish equivalent of starred recognition, so book it for a very good dinner rather than a starred one. Its breakfast is adults-only, so it works as an evening out for parents.
Which room suits a baby who goes to bed early?
One with a separate living room, so you're not sitting in the dark once they're down. The 65 m² Superior Suite is the entry point for that; the 43 m² Superior Double has only a sitting area, not a separate room.
Is the food included in the price?
No. Rooms are sold room-only, so you pay for meals and drinks across the restaurants and bars, and a few room types add breakfast. If you want one fixed price, compare the all-inclusive resorts nearby before you book.
Can we get to the beach easily with a pram?
The beach is right at the resort gate. If a pram is your main way around, the one thing to check on arrival is the step-free way down to the promenade, so ask reception for the smoothest route when you get there.
Can children use the thalasso spa?
Assume not without checking. The gym is over-16s only, and the seawater circuit may be the same, so ask the resort before you count on older children joining you.
What can we do off the resort with young children?
The resort books boat trips along the Papagayo coast, dolphin-spotting outings and the Fuerteventura ferry, plus quad and off-road buggy tours and diving for older ones. For a simple day, Rancho Texas zoo and water park is about 30 minutes away.
When's the best time to go for warm weather without the crowds?
May and June or September and October. It's reliably warm and dry, the sea is at its warmest from late summer into October, and you miss the July and August peak for heat, crowds and price.
