Playa BlancaOn our lists
Princesa Yaiza sits right on Playa Dorada at the eastern end of Playa Blanca, with direct access to the sand and the seafront promenade running past towards Marina Rubicón. It is a large resort of 385 rooms and suites, with terraces looking over the gardens, the pools or the sea, and a choice of family suites, duplexes and two-bedroom layouts.
Families are the heart of it. Capitan Park is an open-air kids' area of more than 10,000 m² for ages 0 to 16, with a baby club from four months, an evening camp and a nightly mini disco. Adults get a thalassotherapy centre, a gym, tennis and padel, plus Relax rooms kept for adults only. Nine restaurants mean you can eat somewhere different most nights. It suits families with children of any age, and couples who want space and a beach on the doorstep.
