What kind of place it is
Costa Teguise is a compact seaside resort rather than a sprawling one, home to roughly 7,600 residents and built along the coast a short hop from Arrecife, the island's port. It suits travellers who want sunshine and a beach within walking distance, without long transfers eating into the first day of a holiday.
The resort has a quiet claim to distinction: the Royal Residence of La Mareta, a residence of the Spanish royal family, stands about half a mile from the centre. Close by you will also find the Lanzarote Aquarium and the Costa Teguise Golf course, which together shape much of the daytime entertainment in Costa Teguise beyond the beach.
Beaches and places to go
The beaches are the heart of any list of places to go in Costa Teguise. Playa de las Cucharas and El Bastián are both around half a mile away, while Playa del Jablillo and Playa de los Charcos sit at roughly a mile. Because they are so close together, it is easy to try several over a week and settle on the one whose sand and setting you prefer.
Away from the sand, the Lanzarote Aquarium is about half a mile from the centre, and Costa Teguise Golf lies around a mile out. For days out in Costa Teguise and beyond, the ferry port at Arrecife is about 4 miles away, with Playa Blanca at around 22 miles and Corralejo at about 29 miles, which opens up the rest of the island and beyond with car hire or a booked tour.
When to go and what weather
Every month of the year is a reasonable time to visit, according to the climate figures recorded at nearby Puerto del Carmen. Winter highs sit around 21°C to 22°C with nights near 15°C, spring climbs to the mid-twenties, and summer peaks at about 29°C in August with warm nights of around 21°C. October stays notably warm, with highs near 28°C.
Rain is light all year. February is the wettest month at around 17mm, and March has the most rainy days, about five. From June to September rain is almost absent. That makes Christmas in Costa Teguise appealing for anyone escaping a British December, with highs near 22°C, and the same mild pattern holds for a Costa Teguise New Year's Eve.
Getting there from the UK
Lanzarote airport (ACE) has direct flights from the United Kingdom and is the nearest airport to Costa Teguise, around 10 minutes away by road. That short transfer is one of the resort's strongest practical points: on a package holiday, the coach or private transfer from the terminal to your hotel is about as quick as it gets in the Canaries.
If you prefer to explore under your own steam, car hire from the airport is straightforward, and the ferry ports at Arrecife, Playa Blanca and Corralejo are all within reach for day trips.
What you can book here
Most British travellers book Costa Teguise as a package: flight, hotel and airport transfer together, with a choice of board basis from self-catering or bed and breakfast through to half board or all inclusive. On this page you can compare package deals from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach side by side; if you have been searching for Jet2 Costa Teguise holidays, their deals sit alongside the others so you can weigh them up. Prices tend to rise during UK school holidays, including the Christmas and New Year weeks, so it pays to compare dates.
You can also check hotel prices, browse tours and tickets for the island, and compare car hire for days out, all from the buttons on this page.
