7 luxury all-inclusive hotels on Lanzarote: the best for 2026

How we ranked the hotels

This ranking belongs to the theme alone and is separate from the general luxury order on the destination page. The guest score on Booking and Google counts for 55 per cent, weighted by how many reviews sit behind it, so that a score built on a handful of guests is pulled towards the island average. Verified concept facts count for 30 per cent: whether all-inclusive is sold at all, whether à la carte is included, whether premium drinks are included, whether there is a stated premium tier, and whether food and drink are served around the clock. Star rating counts for 15 per cent.

The two guest scores are combined into a single weighted figure that we never print on the page as a grade, because it is not comparable with Booking's or Google's own scales. Where we quote a score in the text we always name the source, for example Booking 9.1 or Google 4.8.

We require Booking 8.5 or better before we will rank a hotel here, and the threshold applies as of the day we check.

Anything we could not confirm counts as neither a yes nor a no. It is left out of the calculation and lowers the hotel's coverage at the same time, so a hotel with few confirmed criteria cannot climb on its guest score alone. That is what has pulled Paradisus Salinas down from where it stood in our previous version, and what holds Secrets Lanzarote back here.

This time we are publishing no counted review mentions for Lanzarote. On 9 September 2026 we found that our review harvest had been storing rewritten versions of the same review instead of the guests' own words, and until that material has been gathered again we would rather not publish figures built on it.

We have read the hotels' own pages, noted the exact wording and the date we checked it, and ranked on that basis.

Fourteen hotels on Lanzarote went through the review. Seven sell an all-inclusive concept we were able to verify and clear our score threshold. Those are ranked below. The rest appear at the foot of the page with the reason. Terms we could not confirm are left blank rather than guessed.

Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca or Puerto Calero — where should you stay?

Puerto del Carmen (Seaside Los Jameos) is the island's oldest and liveliest resort town, the closest to the airport at about a quarter of an hour, with a long seafront promenade and the widest choice of restaurants outside the hotels.

Costa Teguise (Paradisus Salinas, Barceló Teguise Beach) sits on the east coast a little over twenty minutes from the airport. Windier than the south, which makes it popular with windsurfers, and quieter than Puerto del Carmen.

Playa Blanca and Yaiza (Iberostar Lanzarote Park, H10 Rubicón, Grand Hyatt) in the south have the biggest choice of newer resorts, the calmest water on the island and the ferry to Fuerteventura. Reckon on a little over half an hour from the airport.

Puerto Calero (Secrets Lanzarote) is a purpose-built marina between Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca, quieter than either and with no town of its own to walk into.

Hotels we reviewed but left out

Seven hotels went through the same review without making the list. The first four all have guest scores that would have been good enough, but they do not sell all-inclusive. The two after them do sell all-inclusive and went through the ranking, but their à la carte sits outside the package, which kept them off the list.

Hotel Fariones — Booking 9.5 from 536 reviews, the highest guest score on the island in our collection. The hotel's own site states no board basis whatsoever, and we found no all-inclusive concept to compare.

Radisson Blu Resort, Lanzarote — Booking 9.1 from 2,193 reviews. The hotel does not sell all-inclusive but ten discount vouchers. Dinner is the Tremor buffet, and drinks are not included.

La Isla y el Mar — Booking 9.1 from 620 reviews. The hotel is sold on half board: breakfast and dinner.

Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort — Booking 8.7. The hotel's own site publishes no board information at all, neither all-inclusive nor half board.

Barceló Playa Blanca and its Royal Level adults-only zone — Booking 8.8 from 1,511 reviews, the second-highest guest score on the island among hotels that actually sell all-inclusive. It went through the ranking but fell on the concept: the à la carte restaurants are not part of the package. Barceló gives twenty per cent off them instead, which is not the same thing.

Hotel Riu Paraiso Lanzarote in Puerto del Carmen — Booking 8.6 from 408 reviews. It sells all-inclusive around the clock, which is unusual on the island, but the Yashima and Yaiza restaurants are buffets and the hotel has no à la carte to include. It went through the ranking without earning a place on the list.

H10 Timanfaya Palace in Playa Blanca — the same chain as H10 Rubicón and the same arrangement, but one à la carte dinner at Kasbah every seventh night rather than every third. We have not been able to verify the hotel's guest score against its own Booking page and have thus left it out of the ranking.

A hotel missing from the list is not one we think poorly of. It means either that it does not sell all-inclusive, that we found no published terms to compare, or that the guest score sits below our threshold.
