Where to eat at and around Paradisus Salinas Lanzarote
Every stay is all-inclusive, so most meals are in the hotel: Malva Food Bazaar, the buffet on the pool terrace, for breakfast, lunch and dinner; La Graciosa for fish and island cooking, at lunch every day and at dinner; Samira, Middle Eastern, and Cappella, Italian, for dinner. Each of the three opens for dinner only on some nights of the week, the nights change with the season, dinner ends at 9.30pm, and all three must be booked. The Ginger Lobby Bar, with Manrique's murals, and The Shack by the lagoon pool serve drinks and light dishes through the day. On foot, Costa Teguise has two tables worth leaving for, both with a Repsol Solete; the rest are a short drive, so you will want a taxi or a car, and three of them are César Manrique's own spaces.

César Manrique's cactus garden, with a terrace restaurant · €
César Manrique's garden in a former quarry planted with thousands of cacti on its terraces, among the prickly pear fields that once fed Lanzarote's cochineal trade.

Our verdict
A hotel where Manrique's gardens are the setting for the whole week, not a day trip. Check availability for a Premium Ocean Front room.
