Playa BlancaOn our lists
Barceló Playa Blanca is a 720-room resort on the coast at the eastern side of Playa Blanca, about a 12 minute walk from Playa Dorada and the same to Marina Rubicón. The buildings and gardens borrow the colours and textures of the volcanic landscape, and on clear days the view runs across the strait to Fuerteventura.
The centrepiece is a 180 metre infinity pool, partly heated. Children have the Barcy Club, a heated pool with a pirate ship and slides, and a teen space with a climbing wall, while adults can use the spa with its thermal circuit, the gym and the paddle tennis and pickleball courts. Food runs to two buffets, two themed restaurants and several bars. The Royal Level adds 132 adults-only rooms with their own heated infinity pool, buffet and pool bar. It suits families who want everything in one place, and couples who want calm inside a lively resort.
Stays are all inclusive and guests wear an identification wristband. Room service and airport transfers are available at extra cost. The Royal Level is sold as its own room category within the same resort.
