Puerto del CarmenOn our lists
Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote is a large 4-star resort just 30 metres from Playa de los Pocillos, the wide sandy beach east of central Puerto del Carmen. The seafront promenade takes you into town on foot.
It runs on 24-hour all inclusive, so food and drink are covered day and night across a buffet, themed restaurants, bars, a pool bar and a snack bar. There are four outdoor pools and two children’s pools, and RIU Land keeps younger guests busy with its own programme. Adults have the Body Love spa, a gym and RIU Fit sessions, two tennis courts and a beach volleyball court, and the evenings bring live shows and a nightclub. It suits families who want everything included and plenty to do, and groups who like a lively resort near the beach.
