Best family hotels in Lanzarote

Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort runs supervised clubs by age in Capitan Park: Ocean Bubble to three, Starfish from three to five, Sea Explorers from six to eight and Guardians of the Sea from nine to 13, with a Baby Club from four months. A Soccer School for ages five to 16 runs in some weeks of the year, and is paid. Barceló Playa Blanca has the Barcy Club, beside a heated children's pool, and a teenagers' space with a climbing wall; ask the hotel for the club's ages.

Playa Blanca, for most families. Its town beaches are listed with calm water, Playa Dorada is fine white sand marked free of wind, and the Papagayo coves are 12 minutes by road. Both our family hotels are there: Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort on Playa Dorada and Barceló Playa Blanca on the seafront nearby. The trade is distance: the airport is 31 minutes away off-peak, against 14 from Playa Grande in Puerto del Carmen, and the Fundación César Manrique is 40 minutes by road.

At Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort, the Family Suite is 88 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms in an annex with its own pool area, breakfast buffet and snack bar, sold for two adults with at least two children. The Royal Kids suite adds a themed children's room and a steriliser, bottle warmer, playpen, pushchair and high chair. The Duplex puts children upstairs on two single beds. At Barceló Playa Blanca, the roomiest family choice in the main hotel is the 37 m² Junior Suite, with a separate living area, for two adults and two children.

Often, outside the summer. At Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort most rooms need four nights or more outside July and August, and in June the entry Double Superior needs seven, while the Suite needs four and costs less. Over New Year 2026 the shortest stay on sale is a week. At Barceló Playa Blanca the main hotel's rooms can be booked for a single night in May and June. Both hotels are built for a week, so that is the stay to plan.

Yes, and it is close to Playa Blanca: the Islote de Hilario, the way into Montañas del Fuego, is about 30 minutes by road. The ticket includes a 35-minute coach along the Ruta de los Volcanes through the craters, with commentary in English. Children aged 7 to 12 pay €15 and under-sevens go free; adults pay €30. Tickets are sold only online, for a set entry time between 09:00 and 15:45, so book before you drive out.

Independently, through extensive research, trusted sources and first-hand visits. Hotels cannot pay to be included, and every one of the ten has to exist for a different reason.
