The interior

Hotels in La Geria and inland

La Geria and the villages around it are Lanzarote’s quiet interior: vines planted in black volcanic ash, whitewashed villages such as Yaiza and Uga, and bodegas that open for tastings. Stays here are mostly rural hotels and small boutique houses rather than resorts. It suits couples, walkers and wine lovers who want peace, space and a car to reach the coast and Timanfaya National Park.

6 hotels, including Yaiza, Uga, La Asomada, Mácher, Tías, Mozaga, El Islote and San Bartolomé. Listed by classification, then size; not a ranking.

Before you go to La Geria and inland

Getting there

The inland villages are well placed for César Manrique-Lanzarote airport (ACE): La Geria is about 22 minutes' drive and Yaiza about 24 minutes. Arrecife Bus line 61 runs from the airport through Puerto del Carmen to Uga and Yaiza, line 19 links Arrecife with La Asomada and line 16 passes Mozaga. Buses are thin on the ground in the vineyards themselves, so a hire car makes the most of a stay; taxis wait at both terminals.

Beaches

There is no beach inland, but the coast is close by car. The golden, Blue Flag beaches of Puerto del Carmen are the nearest from Tías, Mácher and La Asomada. From Yaiza and Uga, Playa Blanca’s town beach and the fine sandy Papagayo coves on the south coast are an easy drive. El Golfo is also close, a fishing village with seafront restaurants and a green lagoon in a volcanic crater.

Good to know

La Geria is a protected landscape where vines grow in hollows dug into volcanic ash, which holds moisture for the roots, and several bodegas along the route offer tastings. Yaiza is one of the best kept villages in the Canary Islands, with whitewashed streets full of plants. Timanfaya National Park, with its volcano route and grill cooked over the earth’s heat, is a short drive west.

Staying in La Geria and inland

Can you visit wineries in La Geria?

Yes. Several bodegas along the La Geria route offer wine tastings, with vines grown in the volcanic ash that covers the area.

Do you need a car to stay in La Geria?

A car is the easy choice. Buses serve villages such as Uga, Yaiza and La Asomada, but not the vineyards themselves.

How far is Yaiza from Timanfaya National Park?

Yaiza sits at the edge of the lava fields from the 1730s eruptions, and the national park is a short drive away.

Is Yaiza worth staying in?

Yaiza is one of the best preserved villages in the Canary Islands, quiet and whitewashed, and well placed for both Timanfaya and the beaches of Playa Blanca.
