Arrecife Gran Hotel & Spa
Panoramic rooms in the tallest building on Lanzarote
About this hotel
Arrecife Gran Hotel and Spa stands next to El Reducto beach in the middle of Lanzarote's capital, and it is the one tall building the island ever permitted itself, which is why its upper floors carry views no other address on Lanzarote can match. Rooms are spacious and modern, with wooden floors and large windows, a minibar and air conditioning; some look over the city and some over the beach. The spa is available at a surcharge and includes a hot tub, a Turkish bath and a sauna, with massages and other treatments arranged on request, alongside an indoor pool, a fitness centre, a restaurant and room service. Family rooms are available and there is parking. Lanzarote Airport is less than ten minutes away by car.
- Spa with hot tub, Turkish bath and sauna
- Indoor pool and fitness centre
- Beside El Reducto beach
- Panoramic city and beach views
Our take
Guests who want facilities and a view in the same booking are the natural fit here, especially those arriving late or leaving early given the ten-minute airport run. Families are catered for with family rooms and there is room service for slow evenings. The one thing to plan for is the spa surcharge, since access is not folded into the rate, and travellers wanting resort grounds and outdoor pools will do better in Costa Teguise.
- ✓Ask for a beach-view room on a high floor, the panorama over the reef is what this tower is selling.
- ✓Budget the spa separately, the hot tub, Turkish bath and sauna all carry a surcharge on top of the rate.
- ✓Swim off Reducto before nine in spring and autumn, the sea is at its warmest then and the sand is empty.
Why we love it
- The tallest building on Lanzarote, with matching views
- Indoor pool plus hot tub, Turkish bath and sauna
- A short walk to the sand of El Reducto
- Wooden floors and large windows in modern rooms
Why guests love itArrecife Gran Hotel & Spa is a five-star hotel beside El Reducto beach and the tallest building on Lanzarote, with family rooms and large windows. The indoor pool and fitness centre suit families on windy or cooler days, and the spa has a hot tub, a Turkish bath and a sauna, charged separately. Room service is available and the airport is close. Rated 8.6 from 829 reviews, I would book it for the beach, the views and the pool.
