Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on Lanzarote’s sun-soaked south coast, Hotel Las Costas pairs a prime beachfront location with a calm, modern vibe.

Location
Hotel Las Costas sits right on the seafront in Playa De Los Pocillos, a relaxed resort just outside Puerto del Carmen on Lanzarote’s south coast. Step through the gardens and you’re on the broad volcanic-sand beach, lapped by clear Atlantic waters and cooled by gentle breezes – great for sunbathing, paddling and watersports.
A palm-lined promenade runs past the hotel, perfect for sunset strolls or cycling, with cafés and low-key bars dotted along the way. The small resort centre of Playa De Los Pocillos is within walking distance, while the brighter lights, shops and nightlife of Puerto del Carmen are just a short taxi ride away, giving you the best of chilled days and livelier nights.

Restaurants and Bars
The main buffet restaurant keeps things relaxed and friendly, with a mix of international favourites and Canarian touches. Breakfast and dinner are usually served buffet-style with show-cooking stations, so you can watch chefs prepare your eggs, grills or pasta to order. The restaurant is conveniently set by the pool terrace, with natural light and space for families and couples alike.
In the evening, the cocktail bar and Bar Salon become the social heart of the hotel, serving a choice of local and international drinks – ideal for a pre-dinner aperitif or a quiet nightcap after a stroll along the promenade.
A smart-casual dress code applies at dinner (no beachwear; long trousers usually requested for gentlemen), and some services or opening times may vary seasonally or by board basis.
Pool Areas and Beach
The hotel’s pool scene is designed for easy days in the sun. There are two outdoor pools, including:
• A generous saltwater main pool, usually heated between November and March, with sunbeds and parasols on the surrounding terrace.
• A separate freshwater children’s pool, also typically heated in winter, providing a comfortable spot for little ones to splash and play.
Pool towels are available with a refundable deposit, so you can travel light.
Beyond the terrace, you have direct access to Los Pocillos beach, a wide, gently shelving stretch of sand with clear waters that are ideal for families, walkers and water-sport fans. Breezes keep things comfortable, and there’s plenty of room to find your own quiet patch of shore.
