Which resorts in Lanzarote are best for families?
From splash-filled days to relaxed beach afternoons, Lanzarote has plenty to keep families happy. Costa Teguise has sheltered beaches and a nearby waterpark, while Playa Blanca offers white sand and easy access to Aqualava Waterpark. Puerto del Carmen brings a livelier feel with its long seafront promenade, and Matagorda is a favourite with families looking for a quick transfer and beachfront setting.
Things to do with kids in Lanzarote
Aquapark Costa Teguise and Aqualava Waterpark in Playa Blanca offer slides and pools for all ages.

For something different, boat trips and beach days at Papagayo are ideal for families with pint-sized paddlers in tow thanks to its sheltered coves.
