All Inclusive Lanzarote Puerto del Carmen: Resorts and Timing

An all-inclusive board generally means your meals are included, typically buffet-style breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with snacks during the day and local drinks, both soft and alcoholic. Premium or imported spirits, some à la carte dining and certain extras are often charged separately, and the exact rules vary from one hotel to the next, so it is worth reading the board description before you book.

For an all inclusive Puerto del Carmen Lanzarote stay, that predictability is the real appeal. With the airport so close, you can land, reach your room quickly and not think about money for food or drink again until you fly home, which suits families and anyone who simply wants a fortnight of sun without daily budgeting.

Puerto del Carmen itself is the main resort, a coastal town of around 30,000 people strung along its beaches. Fariones Playa, about half a mile from the centre, and Playa de los Pocillos, roughly two miles along the shore, are the stretches where you would expect the larger resort-style hotels with pools and entertainment, the kind that typically offer an all-inclusive board.

Neighbouring Tías, around three miles away, takes in Playa de Matagorda, about two and a half miles from Puerto del Carmen and closer still to the airport. It is a quieter option for those who want beach access without being in the heart of the main strip, and the landing viewpoint at Matagorda is a favourite with plane-watching children.

There is no bad month in the climate figures. January and February bring highs of about 21°C and lows around 15°C, a genuine escape from a British winter, although February and March see the most rain days, still only four or five. April to June settle in the mid-20s, and July to September are the hottest and driest months, with August reaching around 29°C and roughly one rain day.

October is a quiet highlight, with highs near 28°C, and November still manages around 25°C. School holidays at Easter, in summer and at half-term are when demand from UK families peaks, so prices tend to be higher then; travelling outside those weeks usually gives more choice.

Most British travellers book a Lanzarote Puerto del Carmen all inclusive break as a package, combining the flight, the hotel and the transfer. With Lanzarote airport so close, the coach or private transfer to Puerto del Carmen takes about six minutes on the road and to Tías about four, so even families with tired children arrive quickly. On this page you can compare live deals from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach side by side.

Check the board basis carefully, as all inclusive, full board and half board are listed together on many searches. Families should look at child places, pool facilities and how far the hotel is from the beach. If you plan days out, you can also compare car hire and tours here; Arrecife's ferry port is about six miles away and Playa Blanca's about eleven.
