Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa – Adults only (+18)

Escape the hustle and bustle with a stay at Secrets Lanzarote, tucked in a quiet corner near Marina Puerto Calero. There’s no children running around at this 5 star coastal resort, making it an ideal choice for a peaceful romantic getaway. When you want to cool off there’s a choice of four outdoor pools. Perhaps you’ll choose to relax on a Balinese bed and after being given a massage, you can chill with a refreshing drink and consume some light bites.

At the spa you can take your relaxation to the next level. The list of facilities here is endless; a dynamic swimming pool with swan neck jets, relaxing waterfalls, a sauna, Turkish bath, hot tub, water beds, lumbar jets and a relaxation room. There’s even a variety of showers - bi-thermal, Scottish and mist. If you choose to book a treatment you may wish to consider the volcanic ritual, based on the island’s geographical formations.

Looking to stay active? The gym is open 24 hours a day. Here, you will find a selection of cardiovascular and aerobic equipment. Plus there’s also the option of booking a personal trainer. Prefer to play competitive sports? Choose from tennis, volleyball and basketball, or join one of the organised fitness classes.

When it’s time to eat, the World Cafe offers a buffet of international dishes. If you adore seafood you will want to visit Oceana, while if you love getting your teeth into a juicy steak then you can’t miss Bluewater Grill. For those who cherish Spain but are mad about Italian cuisine, then Portofino will offer everything you could want. Barefoot Grill whips up poolside light lunches, while Coco Cafe serves fresh coffee, hot drinks and tasty snacks. When you just want a cocktail, beer or shot there’s a choice of five bars, including indoor and outdoor options and one on the beach.

The rooms at Secrets Lanzarote feature a massive 65” smart TV with satellite channels, a balcony or terrace and one king size bed or two doubles. If you don’t wish to bring your own laptop on holiday, you can surf the web on the tablet in your room. Choose either a pool or ocean view room. For that extra special trip suite and swim-up upgrades are available. Pet owners needn’t worry about finding someone to take care of their little furry friend, as they can come along too! There’s even a pet kit on offer for little animals.

While the hotel is in a quiet location, there is no shortage of things to do nearby. The ocean provides opportunities to take part in watersports, or to go on a sunset boat trip in search of dolphins. You can head into a national park, formed by volcanic activity, on foot or you may prefer to take in the views as you travel around on the back of a camel. Secrets Lanzarote is just on the doorstep of the Puerto Calero to Puerto del Carmen hiking trail, offering fantastic views of the cliffs and the ocean.
