Editor Picks: The Best All-Inclusive Hotels in Lanzarote

For those seeking an upscale retreat where you can relax in a tranquil atmosphere, the Elba Premium Suites at Elba Lanzarote Royal Village Hotel is a fine choice. Nestled in Playa Blanca, the island’s southernmost town, in its own separate part of the hotel, the adults-only sanctuary is like a hotel within a hotel, enabling guests to escape the hubbub of activity occurring outside its lavish confines. In total there are 120 units, each offering the kind of special touches one might expect in a boutique hotel, while the charming architecture has been inspired by a traditional Lanzarote village. Notable amenities include a multi complex sports arena with tennis courts, football, petanque and volleyball, plus a state-of-the-art spa and wellness centre where you can indulge your senses. If you fancy venturing further afield, the hotel provides a free shuttle bus service throughout the day to Playa Dorada, one of the island’s best beaches and only 5 minutes away.
