Where to eat at and around Barceló Playa Blanca

The hotel's own tables cover most evenings. The Atlantic is the buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and México Lindo the à la carte room, with tacos, nachos and live performances; book it at the hotel. KOI, the Japanese and Nikkei restaurant, was temporarily closed in October 2026. The Breeze pool bar serves Mediterranean dishes, snacks and cocktails, Barcy Food & Fun sits beside the children's pool, and there are a sports bar and a lobby bar; Royal Level guests also have a buffet and a pool bar of their own. Opening hours depend on occupancy and the season, so check them on arrival. Outside, times are from the hotel's main entrance. Marina Rubicón is 13 minutes away on foot, so the places round the harbour are listed by car, though each is 13 to 17 minutes on foot.

Car hire in Lanzarote

The seafront promenade runs past the door and Marina Rubicón is 13 minutes on foot, but the Timanfaya visitor centre is 31 minutes by car and Teguise 45, so a car earns its keep on days out; the car park is paid, and free for Royal Level guests when spaces allow.

Our verdict

A new pool resort with the strait as its backdrop, and an adults-only hotel inside it. Check availability for the Superior Sea Front, or the Royal Level if you want a quieter pool.
