Overview

 
The whitewashed, low-rise buildings, cobalt-blue pools and an open-air sculpture trail give Nautilus Lanzarote more of a Mediterranean art gallery feel than a typical holiday complex. Set in peaceful Matagorda on the edge of Puerto del Carmen, these spacious self-catering apartments are purposefully designed for easy, stress-free stays – including a wide choice of adapted units – just 100m from the beach and promenade.

Nautilus Lanzarote is a characterful 4-star apartment complex that puts art, accessibility and calm front and centre. Wander palm-fringed paths dotted with original sculptures, relax by the heated pools, or roll down to the promenade and Matagorda’s Blue Flag sands in minutes. With thoughtful, fully equipped apartments – many adapted for reduced mobility – and warm, attentive service, it’s ideal for couples, friends and families looking for a quiet Lanzarote base with real personality. For couples and families seeking the Canary Islands’ year‑round sun without the hustle of a big resort, Nautilus Lanzarote delivers the perfect balance of calm and convenience. It’s around 20 minutes from Lanzarote Airport (ACE), yet just 100m from Matagorda’s seafront promenade and beach. See more Canary Islands holidays.

Map & location


Matagorda (Puerto Del Carmen), Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain

Nautilus Lanzarote sits in Matagorda, a laid-back pocket of Puerto del Carmen on Lanzarote’s south-east coast. The resort is known for its wide, traffic‑free promenade, easy beach access and relaxed, local feel – perfect if you’d rather stroll, cycle and dine by the sea than chase nightlife.

You’re steps from supermarkets and casual restaurants, with Puerto del Carmen’s livelier bars and shops just a short taxi or bus ride away. Arrecife and the island’s volcanic interior are within easy day‑trip distance for culture, wine-tasting and lunar-style landscapes.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 20 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Pools
• 2 outdoor freshwater pools, including a dedicated children’s pool
• Pools are usually heated in the cooler months (subject to hotel’s seasonal policy)
• Generous sunbathing terraces with sunbeds and parasols
• Peaceful, low-key atmosphere – more reading and relaxing than loud pool games

Beach
Step outside and stroll around 100m to reach Matagorda’s Blue Flag beach, a broad band of golden sand with typically gentle Atlantic waves. A long, mostly flat promenade runs all the way to Puerto del Carmen, ideal for morning walks, jogging or hiring a bike. Water sports such as parasailing, snorkelling and boat trips are available locally along the coast.

Food & drink

Nautilus Lanzarote is a self-catering-led complex with a small, friendly set-up that focuses more on independent living than on a big in-house restaurant scene.

Guests choosing Bed & Breakfast can typically expect a simple but satisfying morning spread (details can vary seasonally; final information confirmed on arrival).
