Arrecife Lanzarote Guide: What to See, Eat and Skip
Arrecife rewards travellers who treat it as a working capital rather than a beach resort: a lagoon old town, a town beach, two forts and a morning fish market. This guide covers what to see, where to eat and stay, how to get around, and when a resort base elsewhere on Lanzarote makes more sense.
Costa Teguise: Lanzarote's East-Coast Resort Guide
Costa Teguise is Lanzarote's east-coast resort, 15km from César Manrique Airport Arrecife, built around four beaches and a Canarian-style square. It mixes residents with holidaymakers, suits families, swimmers, windsurfers and wellness seekers, and is the most wind-exposed of the island's main resorts.

Puerto del Carmen is Lanzarote's main tourist town, built around a long beach and a busy promenade, with a quieter old town and harbour at one end. This guide sets out its two halves, who it suits, what to do nearby, where to eat and stay, and how it compares with Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca.
