"Adults only" means three different things in Lanzarote: a hotel for over-18s, one for over-16s, or an adults' wing inside a family resort. Check that line before the pool. For no one under 18, book Secrets Lanzarote in Puerto Calero (all-inclusive) or H10 White Suites in Playa Blanca. With a 16- or 17-year-old, look at Paradisus Salinas in Costa Teguise, a five-star, or Lani's Suites de Luxe, 25 suites in Puerto del Carmen.

The Policy column carries the minimum age rather than a nightly rate, which moves too far between quiet weeks and holidays to print. Each Booking button opens today's price and the guest reviews.

Where to stay in Lanzarote adults only
The resort matters as much as the hotel. Playa Blanca is the quietest base, with H10 White Suites, the 16+ Hipotels Natura Palace and three family resorts with adults-only sections. Puerto del Carmen puts Lani's and La Isla y el Mar near the bars. Costa Teguise has Paradisus, Barceló Teguise Beach and the 18+ Hotel Siroco, and Puerto Calero has Secrets.
| Area | Whole-hotel adults only | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Playa Blanca | H10 White Suites (18+), Natura Palace (16+) | Quiet evenings |
| Puerto Calero | Secrets (18+) | All-inclusive |
| Puerto del Carmen | Lani's (16+), La Isla y el Mar | Restaurants, bars |
| Costa Teguise | Paradisus (16+), Barceló Teguise Beach (18+) | Five-star, windsurfing |
Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa
Yes, Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa is adults only: Booking.com lists it as Adults Only and Expedia sets the line at 18, and it is sold all-inclusive under Hyatt's Inclusive Collection. It is in Puerto Calero, a marina village about 13 km from the airport by Booking.com's measure, not in Playa Blanca.
The decision inside the hotel is Preferred Club: the upgrade adds a pool and a lounge kept for Preferred Club guests, on top of the resort's other heated pools and free courts. Our best hotels in Lanzarote guide has the full rundown. Check current rates for Secrets Lanzarote if all-inclusive with no children anywhere is the trip.
Paradisus Salinas Lanzarote
The five-star choice, with one detail that matters: Meliá sets the minimum age at 16, not 18, which makes Paradisus Salinas the luxury option for parents travelling with a 16- or 17-year-old, and the wrong one if you want no teenagers at all.
It is all-inclusive, in a building designed by Fernando Higueras and César Manrique, with saltwater lagoon pools and a Reserve tier of suites and villas for more privacy. Our Costa Teguise hotels guide compares it with Barceló Teguise Beach, the resort's 18+ four-star. Check current rates for Paradisus Salinas.
H10 White Suites
The 18+ pick for the quiet south. H10 White Suites is an adults-only, all-inclusive boutique hotel in Playa Blanca, which H10 recommends for guests aged 18 and over, a few minutes' walk from Playa Dorada.
It is the calm end of the market: two pools, one heated in winter, an outdoor jacuzzi and a beauty centre, with leisure activities planned for adults rather than children. The full write-up, with the rest of the resort's hotels, is in our Playa Blanca hotels guide. Check current rates for H10 White Suites if you want all-inclusive in the quietest resort.
Lani's Suites de Luxe
The boutique booking. Lani's Suites de Luxe is an adults-only hotel for guests aged 16 and over, with 25 suites on Avenida de las Playas in Puerto del Carmen, and it is listed in the Michelin Guide.
The suites decide the stay. The top-floor suites have the big balcony views, ground-floor Deluxe Suites open straight onto the solarium, and several categories have a private jacuzzi on the terrace. It is not on the sand: Booking.com puts the nearest beach about 400 metres away. More Puerto del Carmen options are in our Puerto del Carmen hotels guide. Check current rates for Lani's Suites de Luxe.
Adults-only sections inside family resorts
If you are travelling with family or friends of mixed ages, an adults' wing can beat a whole adults-only hotel. Hotel LIVVO Volcán Lanzarote in Playa Blanca has Club Volcán, an 18+ hotel within the hotel with its own pool. Barceló Playa Blanca keeps 132 of its 720 rooms for its adults-only Royal Level, with a heated infinity pool of its own.
Two more draw the line differently. H10 Rubicón Horizons Collection has an adults-only room area recommended for over-18s, and Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park sets its Star Prestige pool at 15 and over. Plus Fariones Suite Hotel in Puerto del Carmen takes families but sells adults-only Select suites.
More adults-only hotels worth knowing about
Barceló Teguise Beach is the 18+ four-star in Costa Teguise where most rooms have a hot tub. Hipotels Natura Palace is a four-star for guests aged 16 and over on the seafront in Playa Blanca, with outdoor pools and a spa. Check Hipotels Natura Palace.
Hotel Siroco is a three-star, 18+ apartment hotel in Costa Teguise, every apartment with a kitchen. La Isla y el Mar is an adults-only hotel of suites on a hilltop in Puerto del Carmen, with a heated pool and a spa; it does not publish a minimum age on its site, so check when you book.
Why the age line matters more than the stars
Lanzarote's adults-only hotels split almost evenly between 16+ and 18+. Paradisus, Lani's and Natura Palace take 16-year-olds; Secrets, H10 White Suites, Barceló Teguise Beach and Siroco do not.
For a couple who want no teenagers at all, that line rules out half the list before stars, board or beach come into it. For parents with a 16- or 17-year-old, it does the reverse, and the adults' wings inside family resorts open up the rest of the island.
When to book an adults-only hotel in Lanzarote
In winter, book for the heated pool, not the sea. Secrets heats its outdoor pools, H10 White Suites heats one pool in winter, and La Isla y el Mar and Barceló Playa Blanca's Royal Level each have a heated pool, which is worth more from November to March than a beachfront.
Confirm the age line on your booking confirmation, not just the listing title, if a 16- or 17-year-old is coming. And move fast on the small hotels, which have the least room for a late booking: Lani's has only 25 suites.
FAQ – adults-only hotels in Lanzarote
Yes. Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa, in Puerto Calero on Lanzarote's south coast, is an adults-only all-inclusive resort for guests aged 18 and over, part of Hyatt's Inclusive Collection. Booking.com lists it as Adults Only. It is in Puerto Calero, not Playa Blanca, about 13 km from Lanzarote airport.
No. Hotel Fariones in Puerto del Carmen welcomes children of all ages, according to its Booking.com listing. The confusion comes from Plus Fariones Suite Hotel, a separate hotel on Playa Grande that also takes families but sells adults-only Select suites with a reserved solarium and lounge. For a whole adults-only hotel in Puerto del Carmen, Lani's Suites de Luxe takes guests aged 16 and over.
For all-inclusive with no one under 18, Secrets Lanzarote Resort & Spa in Puerto Calero. For a five-star, Paradisus Salinas Lanzarote in Costa Teguise, which takes guests from 16. For a quiet 18+ hotel in Playa Blanca, H10 White Suites, and for a small boutique stay, Lani's Suites de Luxe in Puerto del Carmen, with 25 suites for guests aged 16 and over.
Playa Blanca, the quietest of Lanzarote's main resorts, has the most adults-only choice, including H10 White Suites (18+), Hipotels Natura Palace (16+) and adults-only sections at Hotel LIVVO Volcán and Barceló Playa Blanca. Puerto del Carmen suits adults who want bars nearby, with Lani's Suites de Luxe. Costa Teguise has Paradisus Salinas and Barceló Teguise Beach.
Paradisus Salinas Lanzarote in Costa Teguise, Lani's Suites de Luxe in Puerto del Carmen and Hipotels Natura Palace in Playa Blanca all set their minimum age at 16, according to their own websites. Secrets Lanzarote, H10 White Suites, Barceló Teguise Beach and Hotel Siroco are for guests aged 18 and over.
Yes. TUI UK defines its adults-only hotels as exclusively 16+ or 18+, either with a fixed age limit across the whole property or with an exclusive adults-only area inside a larger hotel. In Lanzarote that includes adults-only sections such as Barceló Playa Blanca's Royal Level, so check which of the two a TUI listing means before you book.
