The hotel’s contemporary, timeless design blends perfectly with the natural environment and local architecture, while respecting the island’s interior traditions. Lush green gardens contrast with white stone walls, Lanzarote’s natural volcanic dark earth, brightly colored accents, natural materials…
This unique style blends in perfectly with its surroundings. The hotel’s atmosphere is calm and relaxing: every comfort combined with the utmost luxury. What’s more, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the hotel’s facilities are modern and of a high standard.
On arrival, we were kindly offered a refreshing drink while we were given our room key.

The room
Our room was spacious and comfortable: we slept very well! The decor was quite refined, in pastel shades of white and gray. The king-size bed was very cozy and hard to get out of in the morning. The cushions added a touch of originality with pretty embroidered motifs on the pillowcases.
We also found a flat-screen TV, wardrobe, bedside table, desk and chair, mini-refrigerator, safe, coffee maker and private balcony.
The office was functional and practical, ideal for having a small workspace if needed.
Without a doubt, our favorite part was the absolutely spectacular view from our room. As the beach is only a few meters from the hotel, with direct private access to the sand from the gardens, we had a panoramic view of the blue ocean. We could have stared at it and stayed on that balcony for hours!
We actually worked there because, beyond the exquisite and quite inspiring view, the outdoor armchairs were plush and comfortable.

The bathroom
Now it’s on to our private bathroom, with a walk-in shower, 2 sinks and a full-wall mirror. The beige tiles contrasted with the white washbasins, adding a touch of elegance to the already bright room.
Hanging in front of the shower, 2 bathrobes were neatly arranged with 2 pairs of slippers. You can use them for your shower or to visit the hotel spa.
Last but not least, we were provided with a toiletry kit in our bathroom and Keiji essential oil care products on arrival.

The breakfast
We absolutely loved having breakfast at Hotel Lava Beach! It’s one of the most varied and well-stocked buffets we’ve had the opportunity to try on our travels. The choice of products on offer was quite impressive, both sweet and savoury. We were sure to get enough energy before starting our intense day of sightseeing! The location of our table was quite pleasant, close to the pool.
Let’s go for a really complete breakfast. To start, head for the section devoted to fruit platters and mixed salads, for a colorful, vitamin-packed plate.
We really wanted to try everything, and there was plenty to choose from, including local specialities such as cheeses and charcuterie.
We also particularly liked the savoury tarts with sunny vegetables.
PLAN YOUR STAY IN Puerto del Carmen
To finish on a sweet but balanced note, we opted for the seasonal fruit on display. You can also choose to have the fruit already prepared as a salad.
We didn’t have the stomach space to try them, but the buffet offers a wide variety of cream pastries and even a few flavors of ice cream.
This sweet and savory breakfast was a real moment of relaxation to start the day in the best conditions.
