Lanzarote is unlike anywhere else. Its black lava fields, white villages and green shutters were shaped by the artist César Manrique, who persuaded the island to ban high-rise hotels and billboards. The result is one of the most stylish, low-key destinations in Europe, and a natural home for boutique hotels.
Our ten favourites below include two five-star seafront hotels, boutique suites in a marina village and private-pool villas. Every one is rated 4.7 or higher by guests.
