Don’t want to stay in a huge hotel where you can’t find your room? Playa Blanca has plenty of 5-star hotels, but not many small, charming ones.
Here are our reviews of 5 boutique hotels in Playa Blanca (or almost) to consider.
This opinion is completely independent, based on our experiences. We visited the region anonymously, making our own choices and paying our bills in full.
1. Hotel CalaLanzarote
Why stay there
This hotel was one of our favorites in Lanzarote.
One of its greatest assets is the magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean, with the castillo in the foreground.
We particularly appreciated the large outdoor swimming pool and the cocooning atmosphere: the decor is uncluttered and gives pride of place to the magnificent landscape. We were immediately soothed when we arrived!
Swimming pool and beach
- Magnificent lagoon-style pool with a direct view of the sea and the castillo
- deckchairs in the water
- You’re not right next to a beach, though. Playa de las Coloradas is the nearest at 8min but doesn’t have much sand. Playa Dorada is a 25-minute walk away.

- Neighborhood: Marina
- Price range: 5 stars
- All-inclusive available: no, but half-board possible
- Adults-only: yes
- Other amenities: well-equipped gym, spa with thermal pool

2. Hotel Kamezi Villas
Why stay there
Another of our favorites.
We loved the elegance and luxury of the Kamezi villas, with their private pool, natural materials and soothing colors.
What’s more, the sea-facing bar is just perfect, and we spent an unforgettable evening in the gourmet restaurant, sampling local produce and revisited Canarian dishes.
The entire team took great care to ensure that we had an excellent stay.
Swimming pool and beach
Villas feature private pools with a small garden. It’s very pleasant.
This hotel enjoys a privileged seafront location, with direct access to Playa de Montaña Roja (6-minute walk), a white sand and pebble beach. All you need to do to reach the beach is follow the seawall path from the establishment.

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.
- Demand is high, so book early.
3. Hotel Casa del Embajador
Why stay there
If you’re looking for a boutique hotel in the heart of the city, look no further!
It’s a more intimate hotel, out of sight of others, facing the sea along the promenade.
We love the beams, the Canarian decor and this perfect view of the sea facing Fuerteventura.
Swimming pool and beach
A small swimming pool with a solarium area.

- Neighborhood: center

- All-inclusive available: no

4. Aparthotel LIVVO Coloradamar
Why stay there
In our opinion, this establishment is an excellent choice for a pleasant stay with family or friends in Playa Blanca. You can stay in fully equipped apartments that guarantee total independence. It’s a more economical option, as you’ll be able to cook your own meals.
The location is peaceful, and the pool is almost always very quiet, which is ideal for relaxing.
Excellent value for money in Lanzarote.

5. H10 White Suites Hotel (but larger)

The buildings are low-rise, Canarian-style.
