Costa Teguise
Costa Teguise is an attractive resort on the east coast of Lanzarote, combining good beaches, a pleasant town centre, excellent water sports and outstanding access to the extraordinary volcanic landscape and César Manrique architecture that makes Lanzarote one of the most distinctive islands in the Atlantic. From Jameos del Agua and the Fundación César Manrique to Timanfaya National Park and the vineyards of La Geria, Lanzarote rewards exploration.
Elect's take
"Lanzarote is genuinely one of the most interesting islands in the Canaries. The combination of extraordinary volcanic landscapes, the remarkable legacy of César Manrique and surprisingly good wine creates a destination with real substance beyond the beach."
The volcanic landscape of Lanzarote is extraordinary. Timanfaya National Park covers a vast area of lava fields and volcanic cones created by eruptions in 1730-36. César Manrique shaped Lanzarote's built environment with remarkable sensitivity, creating the Jameos del Agua, Jardín de Cactus and his own home at Taro de Tahíche. The wine region of La Geria produces unique wines in vine hollows dug into volcanic lapilli soil.
