Sunshine Breaks In Costa Teguise

There are three main holiday resorts on the small Canary Island of Lanzarote.  And whilst Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen to the south grab more of the visitors Costa Teguise still has plenty to offer tourists.  Including great beaches, excellent restaurants, good quality accommodation and a host of things to do and see.

Costa Teguise was first created during the 1970´s as a more upmarket alternative to the main resort of Puerto del Carmen.  And quickly established itself as a popular destination for anyone seeking more luxurious holidays in Lanzarote.  As epitomised by the resorts anchor establishment of the five star Gran Melia Salinas hotel.

Beaches
There are three main beaches in Costa Teguise.  Although fine stretches of sand in fact run virtually unbroken from end to other other.  With a couple of small sandy coves thrown in for good measure.

The largest and most popular beach is Playa Cucharas – located right in the heart of the resort.  Which is also a very popular location with windsurfers thanks to the aspect of the bay here.

A seafront promenade unites Cucharas with Costa Teguise´s other two main beaches at Playa Bastian and Playa Cuchillo.

Eating Out
Costa Teguise is arguably home to more good quality restaurants than any other resort in Lanzarote.

The most lauded is Meson Jordan – which specialises in classic Spanish cuisine and which has been frequented by the entourage of the King of Spain in the past.  As he maintains a house in nearby Las Maretas.

Other eateries worthy of note include Isla Bonita – which specialises in fresh fish.  And Villa Toledo, which enjoys a great location right on the beach at Playa Bastian.

Places To Stay
As well as good quality establishments such as the Gran Melia there are also plenty of good value four star hotels such as the Occidental Teguise Playa.  And an abundance of apartment complexes too.

Those who prefer to book their own self catering accommodation will also be able to select from a good range of holiday villas in Costa Teguise.  With prices starting from as little as £400 per month.

Things To Do
Costa Teguise is home to the island’s only aquarium and Water Park.  And also boasts one of just two golf courses on Lanzarote within its boundaries.  The resort is also located within a fifteen minute drive of most of the main attractions on the island such as the Jameos de Agua and the Cactus Garden.
