Costa Teguise Holidays

Sitting on Lanzarote’s east coast, this place popped up to provide for the holidaymakers lounging on its five pick ‘n’ mix beaches. As such, you won’t have to stray far for your home comforts. Behind the beaches, you’ve got a shopping centre, a lively town square and a family-friendly waterpark. Plus, daytrips to the likes of Arrecife and Timanfaya National Park are easily doable.

Costa Teguise is a bubbly little resort, which means there’s no chance of getting bored. Plumb in the middle of the main square, Pueblo Marinero, there’s a bandstand for nightly performances. Local artist Cesar Manrique even played a big part in the square’s design. But that’s not all the town has in its locker. You can also look forward to an aquarium, a waterpark and a golf course – the first on the Canary Island.

Sand-wise, this place has been blessed with a five-strong bundle of beaches. Cucharas Beach has made a name for itself with the watersports crowd. At the other end of the spectrum, you’ve got El Jablillo Beach, which is completely sheltered by a breeze-busting breakwater. And, as you head out of town, there are more secluded sweeps, like Bastian Beach, which is roll-out-a-towel territory.
