Lanzarote's youngest hotel still seems so new that you wonder why you can no longer smell the paint. The five-star Lava Beach adds to the Hibiscus Hotels' collection in Puerto del Carmen and is the highest-rated of the four, which are all in the island's main resort. It follows the Lanzarote template of whitewashed palm-fringed low-level development. There's much to love about a modern addition reassuringly offering more of the same. While the nearby beach, Playa de Matagorda, isn't volcanic, the hotel's gardens are. From the inviting swing chairs in the rooms to the external Balinese beds and sun loungers, the emphasis at Lava Beach is on relaxation.
The proximity to the airport is a major plus but you don't ever feel like you're holidaying on its flightpath.
The hotel is in the popular resort of Puerto del Carmen, a short stroll from Playa Matagorda.
By plane: flights from London, Birmingham and Manchester to Lanzarote take around 4 hours 30 mins. The hotel is a five-minute drive from Lanzarote airport. Free private parking on-site. skyscanner.net
Although children are more than welcome, the relaxed atmosphere of Hotel Lava Beach will appeal to couples more than families. The photovoltaic solar panels generate green electricity and have earned Lava Beach a deserved Class A certification in energy efficiency.
A mini-golf course provides fun for all the family members and a chance to discover who the best putter is.
