Set in Playa Blanca on Lanzarote’s sun-drenched south coast, Princesa Yaiza commands a prime spot directly on family-friendly Playa Dorada beach. The promenade outside links the resort centre to the stylish Rubicón Marina, dotted with cocktail bars, boutiques and restaurants.

Playa Blanca itself still hints at its fishing-village roots, with low-rise whitewashed buildings, a yacht-filled harbour and views across the water to Fuerteventura. You’re close to watersports on Playa Dorada, a short hop from Flamingo Beach’s quieter sands, and within easy reach of the famous Papagayo coves.

Playa Dorada beach: on the beachfront
Rubicón Marina: approx. 500m
Playa Blanca resort centre: approx. 500m
