💡 Tips
- Costa Teguise is often windy, so pack a light jacket for the evenings, even in warmer months.
- Visit the famous Sunday market in the old capital, Teguise. Regular buses run from the resort.
- For the best snorkeling, head to Playa del Jablillo, a small, sheltered cove with clear, calm waters.
- Experience the César Manrique-designed atmosphere of Pueblo Marinero in the evening, when the restaurants and craft market (Fridays) come alive.
- Take a stroll along the promenade to Playa Bastian, which is generally quieter than the main Las Cucharas beach.
🍽 Food
Try these 'wrinkled potatoes' boiled in salt water, served with red and green mojo sauces. You'll find them in almost every traditional restaurant, especially around Pueblo Marinero.
Ask for the 'pescado del día'. Restaurants along the promenade often offer excellent local fish like Vieja (parrotfish) or Dorada (gilt-head bream).
Lanzarote's goat cheese is famous. Look for grilled goat's cheese with honey or as part of a tapas platter.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Plan your Sunday morning around the huge open-air market in the old town of Teguise. You'll find everything from crafts and clothing to local produce.
Lanzarote is well-known for its Aloe Vera cultivation. You can find high-quality gels, creams, and juices in the many shops in Costa Teguise for a practical souvenir.
A relaxed beach sheltered by volcanic rocks. It's convenient if you want to escape the crowds of the main beach.
Walk along the promenade north of Playa de las Cucharas towards Playa de los Charcos for a quieter stretch with beautiful sea views.
Just a short drive away, this impressive cactus garden designed by César Manrique is an oasis of tranquility and unique plant life.
Water temperature…
Costa Teguise, located on the east coast of Lanzarote, was designed in the 1970s as an exclusive tourism center. The famous local artist César Manrique played a decisive role in its design, which is reflected in the harmonious architecture and the integration of art and nature. A striking example is 'Pueblo Marinero', a recreated Canarian fishing village with whitewashed walls and cozy courtyards where markets are regularly held. The resort provides four main beaches, with Playa de las Cucharas known internationally as a top spot for windsurfers. Thanks to the constant trade winds, world championships are held here. For families, Playa Jablillo is well-suited, as it is protected by natural rock barriers and features calm, crystal-clear water. The beach promenade connects all the bays and invites jogging or strolling. Costa Teguise also features the island's oldest golf course, a water park, and the only aquarium on Lanzarote. The location is handy for excursions to the former capital, Teguise, or the Cactus Garden. Culinary offerings range from traditional cuisine to modern fusion restaurants, concentrated around Plaza Pueblo Marinero and Avenida Islas Canarias.
