ROSAModernist seaside resort
Lanzarote's first hotel is an open seaside resort where mid-century architecture steps down through palms to the beach.
“Lanzarote has long been home to unfussy indie B&Bs and seafront grandes dames such as the storied Hotel Fariones, built in 1966.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Subtropical palm gardens frame direct access to a quiet cove and heated infinity pools.
Listed
Modernist 1966 coastal architecture, preserved on the official Iberian modern heritage register.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
the airy white lobby with bold Spanish artwork and huge glass windows looking out to the palm tree-framed infinity pool and the ocean beyond.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Puerto del Carmen's old town harbor and the sheltered waters of Playa Chica sit just steps away.
The rooms
All rooms face the Atlantic, with parquet floors, marble walk-in showers, and private sea-view balconies.
The pools and baths
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool is heated to 26 degrees year-round, and indoor hydrotherapy jets sit beside a dry sauna.
The spa
Private treatment rooms look out across the water, and open-air massage tables sit under a pergola by the beach.
La Barra Cocktail & Bar
A curved timber bar sits under an open wooden pergola, serving cocktails and light plates beside the Atlantic.
At the table
Breakfast spreads across shaded terraces overlooking the palms, and dinner brings regional seafood and produce from Finca de Uga.
How it began
Architect Manuel Roca Suárez bent the 1966 facade by 150 degrees to shield guest terraces from Atlantic trade winds.
