Gran Castillo Tagoro Family & Fun

For a family holiday that delivers both fun and relaxation in spades, the Gran Castillo Tagoro Family & Fun on Lanzarote’s south coast has everything you’d want – and plenty more.

Six pools, each with a different vibe, mean you’ll have plenty of choice when it comes to finding your ideal swimming or sunbathing spot. These include an adults-only pool flanked by Balinese beds, family pools surrounded by palm trees, and children’s splash pools with water slides and fountains. 

While little ones have a blast at Castleland – a play zone with a games room, a 5D cinema and an extensive activity programme on offer – why not head over to the spa for a massage or to try out the therapeutic thermal circuit? When you’re in the mood for something more energetic, feel free to make the most of the fully equipped gym, or get stuck into a game of volleyball. 

An eclectic choice of cuisines awaits at the live cooking stations in Las Coloradas buffet restaurant, while Portofino Restaurant invites you to enjoy delicious à la carte Italian dishes. You may also be tempted by a candlelit dinner on a terrace overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at Sansofe Restaurant – an especially scenic spot for magnificent sunset views. 

Getting peckish in between meals is never an issue here, as La Cascada poolside bar has you covered with a wide range of snacks. Later on, the Salon Lounge bar is the place to be for drinks, live evening entertainment and a jovial ambience. There’s a sports bar, too, so you needn’t worry about finding somewhere to watch the football while you’re away.

Fancying a trip to the beach? There are several fantastic ones along the nearby coastline, including Playa Mujeres, Playa del Pozo and Playa de Papagayo – the latter being especially renowned for its rugged volcanic backdrop.
