Where to stay in Lanzorte with children
Is Lanzarote a good destination for children?
Yes, she’s not bad. You’ve got easy-access beaches, water parks, a zoo, dolphin watching and lots of hotels with swimming pools and kids’ clubs.
Where to stay in Fuerteventura with young children or teenagers?
Frankly, the 3 seaside resorts(Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise) have advantages for children and teenagers. You’ll have a great vacation wherever you go.
A few notes:
- If your teenager likes board sports, Costa Teguise may be more to his or her liking. Otherwise, for a wider choice of activities, we recommend Playa Blanca or Puerto del Carmen.
- Most boat tours depart from the Puerto del Carmen area
- The water parks are in Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise, but the zoo with small water park (Rancho Texas) is in Puerto del Carmen. Find out more about the water parks and zoo.

OUR ADVICE FOR RENTING A CAR IN Lanzarote
- Compare prices on our preferred platform: DiscoverCars – one of the best rated sites.
- A small car is all you need.
- But you can also choose a larger one if you wish, as the parking spaces are rather large.
- There’s a lot of demand and it’s an island, so book early.
