The ultimate family escape to Lanzarote

30 March 2025

Located along the stunning coastline of Playa Blanca, Dreams Lanzarote Playa Dorada Resort & Spa offers a fantastic holiday experience for the whole family. Its enviable location right on the beach means guests can step straight onto golden sands or, as the day winds down, enjoy breathtaking sunsets over the sea, with views of Isla de Lobos and Fuerteventura providing a magical backdrop.

Make a splash at the water park

Dreams Lanzarote is a haven for family-friendly fun. The resort’s water park and nine pools make it the ultimate playground, offering slides and splash zones that promise hours of thrills. Toddlers can play safely in the shallow areas, while older kids can challenge themselves on the exciting water slides. Meanwhile, parents can lounge poolside, soaking up the sun with a cool refreshment in hand, knowing the little ones are entertained.

Savour variety for every taste

When it comes to meals, the resort delivers an impressive dining experience. The six restaurants cater to every palate, ranging from Mediterranean-inspired dishes to bold Asian flavours. Kids will especially love the options tailored just for them, while adults can indulge in fresh, flavourful meals. With no reservations needed and casual dining available, mealtimes remain stress-free, ending perfectly with a dessert or a family toast to another great day.

Activities to engage everyone

There’s an activity for every member of the family here. Teens can enjoy their independence at the Core Zone, participating in games and connecting with peers, while younger kids revel in creative play at the Explorers Club. Adults can hit the state-of-the-art fitness centre and the whole family can bond over paddle boarding adventures, scenic bike rides along Playa Blanca’s trails, or a competitive game of Sjoelen (Dutch shuffleboard).

Explore Lanzarote together

Lanzarote is the perfect place for family adventures. Together, you can explore the island’s captivating volcanic landscapes, from the dramatic Timanfaya National Park to the fascinating lava caves of Jameos del Agua. Wander through charming, whitewashed villages, where you can soak in the local culture, cycle along scenic trails, spot wildlife in nature reserves or, just five minutes along the promenade, Marina Rubicón offers a lively atmosphere featuring luxury yachts, nautical activities, and waterside dining that the whole family will enjoy.

Costa Rica may be known for Arenal’s volcano views, Monteverde’s cloud forests, and the beaches of Guanacaste, but some of its most rewarding experiences lie farther from the usual route. In the remote southwest, the Osa Peninsula offers deep rainforest, untamed Pacific shores, and extraordinary wildlife, while the Caribbean coast brings its own blend of beach life, Afro-Caribbean heritage, and easy-going towns. Together, they show two very different sides of the country, making them a strong choice for visitors looking to spend longer in each place and experience Costa Rica in greater depth.
