Welcome to Costa Teguise

Located centrally on the east coast of Lanzarote is the resort of Costa Teguise, renowned for its beautiful blue-flag beaches, as well as its spectacular windsurfing scene. With only a twenty minute drive from Arrecife Airport, it is easily accessible by public transport and taxi, providing an ideal place to explore the north of the island, as well as many of the attractions within the area.

Built for tourism

Since being purposefully built in the 1970s, Costa Teguise caters for a wide variety of people. There are hotels ranging from budget to 5 star all-inclusive, as well as self-catering apartments with their own pools. Costa Teguise primarily attracts both families, couples and singles in search for peace and relaxation, as well as looking for sunshine.  English, Italian, Spanish and Germans tend to be the most popular visitors. The location on the east coast benefits greatly from glorious sunshine all year round.

Restaurants and bars

There are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops to keep visitors occupied, and more than enough restaurants to choose from, with many different cuisines ranging from tex-mex, Chinese, Italian and Spanish. There is live music within the bars, but the club scene is low key keeping the resort aimed for families, and those looking to chill.

Glorious sunshine

With sunshine all year round, many British holiday makers are drawn here, including during the winter months, to escape the dreary British winter, in search for some winter sun. June and August is the most popular time to visit with very little rainfall, and temperatures in the high 20s, with an average of nine hours sunshine a day.

For those looking for heat, July and August are the hottest months, although they are the most expensive. April to November is considered Summer, and December to March are winter with temperatures around 19 degrees C, with an average of 14 degrees C. Many hotels do offer heated swimming pools, but sunbathing might be restricted with colder temperatures. It is a good idea to pack an extra layer for these months, as some evenings can get a bit chilly.

Beaches, activities and attractions

Within Costa Teguise, the main attractions include the beach. There are three main beaches, with Playa Las Cucharas being the most popular, especially with windsurfers, and 640 metres in length. Playa Los Charcos is smaller, at 150 metres long, but has fine, white sand and beautiful crystal clear waters to enjoy. However, Playa Bastion is popular with families as it is sheltered from the wind.

Visitors can also enjoy walks along the promenade, taking in the fantastic colours of the sea, and watching windsurfers in action taking on the waves. Costa Teguise caters for windsurfers, with windsufring schools, bars and surf clothes shops. There are also a variety of watersports here, as well as a Waterpark. A golf course is also close by for golfing enthusiasts. Many tours operate from the resort going to places such as Teguise for the Sunday markets, as well as to Timanfaya.
