Villa VIK - Hotel Boutique
An adults-only house behind garden walls near Playa del Cable
About this hotel
Villa VIK stands in a quiet residential area of Playa del Cable, on the southern edge of Lanzarote's capital, and from the street it reads as one more low white house of the kind Cesar Manrique's building rules made standard across the island. Inside, the rooms are stylish and spacious, each with a luxury private bathroom and a balcony or terrace to unwind on. There is an a la carte restaurant, a bar for a cocktail afterwards, a garden with outdoor furniture and a sun terrace, and the property is adults only throughout. Parking, an airport shuttle and bicycle rental cover the practicalities. Playa del Cable itself is a three-hundred-metre stretch of fine golden sand with calm water, two hundred metres from the door and closer to Guacimeta than to the city centre.
- Adults only
- Balcony or terrace in every room
- Garden and sun terrace
- A la carte restaurant and bar
Our take
Couples and solo travellers who want quiet, a private terrace and a short airport transfer will get the most from this address, and the adults-only rule keeps the garden and sun terrace calm all day. The trade-off is the location, because Playa del Cable is residential and the Charco de San Gines terraces and castle museums of central Arrecife need a drive. Families cannot book here at all.
- ✓Ask for a ground-floor terrace rather than a balcony, the garden side holds its shade through the middle of the day.
- ✓Drive the La Geria wine road late in the afternoon, the Malvasia Volcanica hollows show best in low light.
- ✓Book the a la carte restaurant for your arrival night, dinner on Lanzarote starts late and town is a drive away.
Why we love it
- Two hundred metres from the golden sand of Playa del Cable
- A balcony or terrace with every single room
- A garden and sun terrace kept adults only
- Airport shuttle from Guacimeta, minutes down the coast
Why guests love itVilla Vik Hotel Boutique is an adults-only, five-star hotel, so it is not an option for families with children. For couples and solo travelers it offers a quiet part of Playa del Cable, 200 metres from the beach, with stylish, spacious rooms that each have a luxury bathroom and a balcony or terrace. An a la carte restaurant, a bar, a garden and a sun terrace are on site. Rated 8.8 from 108 reviews, I would book it for peace and privacy.
