There’s no shortage of paradisal vacation spots across Spain ranging from cultural delights to pristine coastlines, and sometimes both intertwined into one amazing place.
Spain’s tourism levels have been on such a tear that hidden gems are harder and harder to uncover, but away from the mainland lies the popular Canary Islands, home to numerous postcard beach towns to escape life’s stresses.
One such town has only been around roughly 40 years; developed in the 1980’s and primarily visited by locals and Europeans in the know of this idyllic hideaway.
Set on the eastern coast of Lanzarote lies Costa Teguise, an easy-to-reach resort town perfect for a last-minute fall getaway or your fix for winter sun once the cold temps roll around.
Volcanos, Beaches, & Delightful Cafes: No Better Place To Spend Sunny Days
Costa Teguise is packed with fun activities for all ages and every type of traveler. Family vacations, couples getaways, and solo trippers will all have a blast!
The weather is truly splendid throughout the year, but there’s no better time to take advantage than late fall through the end of winter.
In other words, put your PSL down and start making travel plans!
Here travelers will discover scenic beaches no matter the season. Better yet, the waters are warm and swimmable as winter temps consistently hover in the low 70’s.
According to the Irish Sun, Playa de Las Cucharas should top your list as it’s great for swimming, lounging in the sun, and offering ideal conditions for surfing as well.
But as pretty as Playa Del Jablillo may be, some say Playa Del Jablillo’s inviting coves are more enticing to visit, with prettier waters more suitable for snorkeling and scuba diving.
Costa Teguise is not only a place to park your butt on a beach day, but what you should prepare for is to spend the majority of time outdoors – and who wouldn’t want to in such nice weather and picturesque streets?
The town center, in particular Pueblo Marinero, is lined with delightful cafes by day and lively bars by night to get your morning caffeine fix and cap off your day with a cheap beer (even Guinness won’t set you back!).
But perhaps the most exciting excursion to spend your sunny days is paying a visit to Timanfaya National Park, where you can experience Lanzarote’s towering volcanos up close and personal (within safe distance, of course).
Enjoy Lavish Stays: A ‘Resort Town’ That Lives Up To Its Name
You’ll start your dream vacation off right as reaching Costa Teguise is very easy, with frequent flight connections and even more convenient bus service into town from Lanzarote's César Manrique Airport, which only sets you back about $4.
From here, you have numerous lavish resorts to choose from – many of which won’t break the bank either.
For example, you can stay at Sands Beach Resort for only $95 (on Expedia) this winter, set upon some of Costa Teguise’s prime seaside real estate.
According to TripAdvisor, these are the top 3 resorts to choose from:
- Barceló Teguise Beach (Adults Only)
- Hotel Grand Teguise Playa
- Hotel Siroco (Adults Only)
Not every travelers wants to splurge where they rest their head at night, so there are many boutique options as well, like BLUESEA Costa Bastian for only $84 in December.
More savings equals more experiences, so make sure not to skip one of the town’s most underrated attractions, Aquapark Costa Teguise – fun for all ages!
Tapas, Wine, & Seafood Galore! Indulge In Costa Teguise’s Cheap Eats
Spain and food go hand in hand. I mean, have you ever had a glass of red wine and paella? It doesn't get any better!
Here in Costa Teguise, expect a variety of locally sourced seafood.
A quick Google search shows restaurants are top notch with many holding nearly perfect ratings and rave reviews.
If seafood is your jam check out El Risco recommended by Michelin Guide as one of the region's best.
Spain, of course, is also renowned for wine and is commonplace to see patrons enjoying a glass with dinner.
Both house wine and local beer are typically really cheap, typically no more than $3 or $4.
