Don’t want to stay in a huge hotel where you can’t find your room? Puerto del Carmen is rich in aparthotels, but not so much in small, charming hotels.
Here are our reviews of (almost) all the boutique hotels in Puerto del Carmen 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. Lani’s Suites Hotel (5 stars, adults-only)
Why stay at the Lan’is Suites hotel?
Luxury to the max. As a small boutique hotel, the team can really offer personalized service to all guests.
The rooms are magnificent, modern and bright. Lots of white!
We also really appreciated the view from the restaurant to the small beach just below the hotel.
This small, charming hotel is right in the heart of the city – you couldn’t be more central!
Swimming pool and beach
- small outdoor pool in the heart of the hotel with sea view
- small beach of sand and rocks just in front of the hotel. As it’s not visible from the street, it’s not crowded.
Practical information
- Neighborhood: center
- Price range: 5 stars
- All-inclusive available: no
- Adults-only: yes
- Other amenities: spa area
- Parking: on the street, free but very difficult

2. Aqua Suites Hotel (4 stars)
Why stay at Aqua Suites
In a rather different, very modern style, if you’re looking for a place to relax and unwind, we recommend the Aqua Suites hotel. It’s on a human scale, which makes for a much more relaxing experience.
We loved the welcome we received at this hotel, the whole team was smiling. As soon as we entered, we noticed the modern decor and the reasonable noise level.
Once again, we liked the design of the room, but above all the space, and also the terrace for relaxing at the end of the day.

3. Hotel CIH apartments (4 stars)
Why sleep at CIH Apartments
Small establishment between aparthotel and apartment rental.
We fell in love with the elegant location and its apartments. The decor is superb and warm, and everything is well equipped.
The location is quiet but close to the beach. For the moment, there’s no construction next door, and the view of the volcanoes was also very appealing.

4. Hotel La Isla y el Mar (5 stars, adults-only)
Why stay at Hotel La Isla y el Mar
Another luxury boutique hotel in Puerto del Carmen, this time on the port side.
Once again, the service and design are exceptional.
It’s an elegant oasis with magnificent sea views. And it’s also known for its Biosphere Responsible Tourism label.
There’s no traditional white here, but lots of metallic surfaces that mirror and reflect the beauty of the island of Lanzarote.

5. Hotel Los Fariones (larger, but charming)
This hotel is quite large (216 rooms), but thanks to all its nooks and crannies and charm, it feels like a boutique hotel.
Why stay at the Hotel Fariones
Absolutely magnificent. We loved our stay: the infinity pool, the tropical gardens, the warm, elegant decor, the sea view, the beachfront location (and right next to Playa del Carmen’s main beach), the ever-helpful staff…
This hotel lives up to its reputation. We immediately felt at ease, surrounded by palm trees.
We particularly appreciated the infinity pool to relax in after exploring the island, and the buffets to replenish our strength.
Swimming pool and beach
- An infinity pool with sun loungers
- Various sunbathing areas
- Jacuzzi area
- a high-level pool for upper-level members
- small beaches right in front of the hotel
- The main Playa Grande beach is a 2-minute walk away

- All-inclusive available: half-board only

and… Hotel Royal Marina Suites (in Puerto Calero, 10min)

Why stay at Royal Marina Suites
This is one of Lanzarote’s finest boutique hotels. It’s very elegant, modern and bright. As soon as you enter the hotel, a wave of relaxation sets in.
We love the seaside pool and the magnificent views from the rooms.
The team is always on hand to help us have an excellent stay.
The minimalist design is very successful and allows you to concentrate on the essentials: the view and relaxation.
