Elba Lanzarote Royal Village Resort

The Elba Lanzarote Royal Village Resort is a sanctuary for families looking for a little luxury. This good-looking complex is designed in the style of a traditional island hamlet, with gleaming whitewashed buildings with domed rooftops spread among tropical gardens. It’s on the outskirts of Playa Blanca, so you can expect sleepy surroundings. A shuttle bus runs to Playa Dorada beach when you fancy a change of scene, too.

Families give the five swimming pools here a massive thumbs up, with two of them heated and one exclusively for children. Little ones will also love the miniature splash park, which comes with slides and tipping buckets. The waterside terraces are well-equipped with loungers and parasols, and over-16s can make use of the swish Bali beds.

Activities-wise, there’s everything from volleyball to yoga laid on during the day, and night-time events include shows, live music and karaoke. Children can have their own fun at the kids’ club, giving adults time to relax in the state-of-the-art spa.

You get a choice of restaurants and bars here, as well. There’s an international buffet eatery, plus two a la carte restaurants dishing up elegant French and Italian cuisine. And if you fancy a night or two dining out, it’s just a 10-minute walk to the plentiful restaurants in Playa Blanca’s resort centre. 

Please note: this hotel does not accept stag/hen parties or similar groups.
