Lanzarote Villas in Costa Teguise: Where to Stay and Book

Resort · Canary Islands · Lanzarote · Spain

Lanzarote villas in Costa Teguise appeal for a simple reason: you land at Lanzarote airport and, about 10 minutes later, you are at the door. This coastal resort of around 7,600 residents sits on the island's east side, with four beaches, Playa de las Cucharas, El Bastián, Playa del Jablillo and Playa de los Charcos, all within roughly a mile. The weather is unusually steady, with daytime highs of 21°C in January rising to 29°C in August, so any month works. Below I cover where to base yourself, the choice between villas, self catering and adults-only hotels, and how to book. Live hotel prices sit on this page for comparison.

Where to base yourself

Costa Teguise is a single, compact coastal resort rather than a string of separate villages, so the real choice is which end of town suits your days. Playa de las Cucharas and El Bastián are both around half a mile from the centre, as are Lanzarote Aquarium and the Royal Residence of La Mareta, the Spanish royal family's residence. Stay near here if you want to walk to the sand and back for lunch.

Playa del Jablillo and Playa de los Charcos lie a little further out, about a mile away, and Costa Teguise Golf is at a similar distance. Golfers and those who prefer a quieter beach may find this side more appealing. Nothing in town is far, so a villa or apartment set back from the seafront is rarely a real compromise.

Arrecife, the island's capital and ferry port, is only about 4 miles away, which makes Costa Teguise a practical base for exploring Lanzarote. Ferries also run from Playa Blanca, around 22 miles south, and Corralejo appears among the nearby ferry ports at roughly 29 miles.

Villas, apartments or adults-only hotels

British searches for Costa Teguise lean heavily towards private space. Villas to rent in Costa Teguise are the most sought-after choice, followed by self catering apartments and adults-only hotels. That mix tells you a lot about who comes here: families and groups who want their own pool and kitchen, and couples looking for a quieter hotel without children around.

Villa holidays in Costa Teguise suit those who plan to cook, eat outside in the year-round warmth and drive to beaches and the golf course. Self catering holidays in Costa Teguise give similar freedom on a smaller scale, often closer to the beaches. An adults-only hotel in Costa Teguise is the option if you would rather someone else handles meals and housekeeping. You can compare current hotel prices for each style on this page.

Booking tips for UK travellers

Most British visitors book a package: flights into Lanzarote airport, which has direct flights from the UK, plus accommodation and a transfer. With a drive of around 10 minutes, the transfer is one of the shortest in Spain. Check the board basis before you choose: villas and self catering are usually room only, while hotels may offer meals included.

If you have been searching for Jet2 villas in Costa Teguise, the package buttons here include Jet2holidays deals alongside TUI holidays, loveholidays and On the Beach, so you can compare them side by side. School-holiday weeks tend to cost more and fill sooner, particularly for villas with pools, so book early if you are tied to term dates. If you prefer to arrange flights and a villa separately, you can also compare car hire here, which is useful for reaching the further beaches and the rest of the island.
