A fortress-style resort near Aqualava Water Park Lanzarote

1/4

Positioned just outside the bustling resort town of Playa Blanca, Gran Castillo Tagoro Family & Fun Playa Blanca puts you within easy reach of Aqualava Water Park with its water slides, wave pool and lazy river. Drawing design inspiration from the imposing Castillo de San José in nearby Arrecife, it has a fortress theme running throughout. Children can spend their days in ‘Castleland’ with its pirate ship and interactive games area. A lifeguard-supervised aquatic play zone sits at its heart, including shallow saltwater pools, toadstool fountains and a network of slides descending from a magical green dragon.

With the kids happily occupied, indulge in a visit to the Vitanova Spa with its assortment of thalassotherapy water treatments. Aromatherapy showers awaken the senses while a combination of Jacuzzis, water jets, saunas and ice baths stimulate circulation for skin that feels revitalised. Facials, body treatments, manicures, pedicures and massages round out the spa services. Make it a family experience in the Petit Spa room, where children between the ages of four and 12 are treated to pampering manicures and massages.

From morning yoga sessions to evening musical performances and late-night discos, there’s a full programme of entertainment. The hotel’s 5D cinema offers an immersive experience, while live cooking stations blend fine dining with entertainment.

Take in expansive ocean views from your private balcony or terrace. Airy, Mediterranean-style accommodation features neutral tones and separate sitting areas. Merlin rooms, finished off with colourful Camelot-themed wall art, are well-suited to families with younger children.

A beachfront hotel within walking distance of a water park in Puerto del Carmen

1/4

You’re a mere 15-minute stroll from one of Lanzarote’s premier water parks when you stay at the Las Costas Hotel. Rancho Texas is just over a kilometre away, giving swift access to its splash zone framed by lava rocks and swaying palms.

The hotel’s prime position, steps from the golden sands of Los Pocillos Beach, means that the fun continues away from the water park. Adults and children are both catered for with separate heated swimming pools, complete with parasol-shaded loungers to give young skin a break from the Puerto del Carmen sunshine. Feel your cares melt away with a visit to the indoor sauna and revive your muscles in the bubbling Jacuzzi.

Most rooms come equipped with airy terraces or balconies, many of which have panoramic sea views. Sofas convert into extra beds, transforming seating zones into sleeping areas for children. Family rooms and junior suites offer additional space to maximise comfort. The hotel’s entertainment team keeps younger guests engaged, whether they’re swinging in the play park or dancing in the mini disco. Reunite the family at the end of the day in the international buffet restaurant, stylishly appointed with white linens and enticing cooking stations.

There’s a sense of old-world grandeur surrounding the elegant Los Jameos Hotel, with its traditional hacienda-style accommodation and intricate woodwork. Inspired by the designs of Lanzarote architect César Manrique, the whitewashed exteriors and neutral interiors are offset with natural shades of ocean blue.

Join in the games and fitness classes in the outdoor activity pool, letting children frolic in the shallow kids’ pool and baby splash area.

Recreational activities are extensive and varied – spend the morning planning a round of mini-golf with the family and the afternoon perfecting your game on a tennis court. Teenagers can join in with Aquafit and volleyball sessions, while the kids’ club caters for younger guests with a bustling playpark. Experience full relaxation in the hotel’s Spa and Wellness Centre, offering body wraps, massages, Thalasso therapies, manicures, pedicures, cosmetic treatments and a cold-water plunge pool. Cleanse and purify the body by visiting the various saunas, from traditional Finnish designs to bio-sauna rooms enhanced with lights and aromatherapy oils.

Buffet dining offers plenty of mouthwatering choices, from grilled calamari to roast lamb. Save room for the dessert counter – the hotel’s patisserie excels in preparing fresh crêpes and exquisite cakes.

An urban spa hotel with a view near Lanzarote water parks

1/4

Arrecife Gran Hotel, is housed in Lanzarote’s only skyscraper, soaring into the atmosphere with an air of urban sophistication. Outside, you’ll find the golden sands of El Reducto Beach, while the hotel’s interior melds polished marble with floor-to-ceiling windows to make the most of the prime location. Panoramic visions of the beach below are a true perk of the hotel’s accommodation, making an upgrade to a sea view room well worth considering. Outfitted with a neutral décor, most come with a sofa bed suitable for children. Larger families can opt for an imperial suite, with two bedrooms to spread out in.

Lanzarote’s biggest waterpark is under 15 minutes away by car from this glamorous spa hotel in Arrecife. This makes it a top choice if you want to combine visits to the AQUAPARK in Costa Teguise with seafront accommodation.

With kids happily tired out from a visit to AQUAPARK, treat yourself to a journey through the spa’s hydrothermal circuit. The invigorating combination of a water jet pool, foot soak, sauna and Turkish bath will leave you feeling supremely relaxed. Facial treatments use marine collagen to renew skin, while targeted massages use mood-boosting aromatherapy techniques or heated volcanic stones to provide a deep sense of well-being. Rituals round out the spa’s menu using sea salt body scrubs and luscious essential oils to exfoliate and renew skin.
