Lanzarote has such a lovely sun drenched coast, it would be a shame to miss out, that’s why so many visitors look for beachfront holidays. They are never let down, as the southern coast of Lanzarote, in particular, has great beaches that stretch from Playa Blanca at the western tip, to Costa Teguise, half way along the eastern stretch.

It’s not always easy to get direct access to beachfront holidays, but at Sands Beach Resort Hotel in Costa Teguise, you can take the bridge over the sea water lagoon and be straight on the coastal path, maybe that’s why it’s so popular with families.

There are more than enough distractions at Sands Beach Resort to keep everyone close to the 6 plaza pools, the restaurant, pool bar or evening entertainment bar, but you can’t beat the lure of the beachfront holiday.

In the day the sand and sea are great places for the whole family to play, or to hire out boats to go out and test the slightly bigger waves beyond the headlands. At night, the coastal walkway is romantic and atmospheric, lighting the way into the village to explore. Costa Teguise is blessed with a lengthy stretch of beachfront, it’s up to you how you choose to enjoy it.

Lanzarote has been designed by the best architect of all, nature, and that handiwork is seen at its best on the Costa Teguise map.

The traditional Canarian village of Costa Teguise is intimate and compact with the two main roads running parallel to the beachfront walkway. The keen eyed will find the only golf course on Lanzarote, clearly marked on the Costa Teguise map, a short walk from the front, behind the water park.
