Finca Isoline is full of character. Restored and refurbished lovingly, this villa has wooden-slatted shutters and a mix of white walls with wooden doors and window frames making it exude class and character.
One of the benefits of this villa only having a handful of rooms means that you’re almost guaranteed rest and relaxation. Peace and quiet abound around the pool with thatched parasols.

You’re close to the airport too with Lanzarote Airport only being 9km away. For people wanting a quieter and more characterful stay, this is one of the best 5 star hotels in Lanzarote.
5. Lani’s Suites de Luxe (Adults Only)
Lani’s Suites de Luxe is truly exceptional. A sensational setting. I’ve heard hotels describe themselves as ‘beachfront’ before but this absolutely is!
Where the flooring of the restaurant stops, the beach begins. The view is stunning. Imagine eating there as the sun is going down! It really is one of the best 5 star hotels in Lanzarote.
The bedrooms have huge windows which frame the sea views beautifully. it truly is something to behold. Each suite comes with a terrace or balcony with sea views, seating area and dining area. There is a flat-screen TV, laptop safe and coffee machine.
The hotel is adults only, hopefully guaranteeing some top quality rest and relaxation and to add to that they offer massages and other wellness treatments in their beauty centre – wonderful! There is also a café, where children are welcome though.
Very conveniently, Lanzarote Airport is 7km from the hotel, while glorious Timanfaya National Park is 20km away which I’d suggest you visit for the incredible views of the rocks and crashing waves. Or if you prefer something a little calmer than make use of the glorious outdoor pool back at Lani Suites de Luxe hotel. Divine!
6. Hotel Fariones
Where to begin with describing the stunning Hotel Fariones?!
Firstly, it’s set within tropical gardens – the grounds are amazing. Palms trees as far as the eye can see, surrounding the pool and frame the superb sea views wonderfully.
If that wasn’t enough, Hotel Fariones has direct access to a cove so the beach and sea is very literary on the doorstep. A slice of paradise.
The main infinity pool on the ground floor is surrounded by palm trees and the reason I say ‘main infinity pool’ is because they have a second one on the roof! It’s for the exclusive use of people staying in the following suites (Junior Suite Sea View Relax + Suite Sea View, Suite Loft Sea View, Ocean Suite, Grand Suite and Royal Suite).
All rooms are styled tastefully, modern decors and classy finishes mean you can stay in style while all the rooms offer views of the Atlantic Ocean – a dream to wake up to!
Hotel Fariones has restaurants, a la carte restaurants with Macaronesia cuisine and Asian restaurants. The property also has a snack bar located in the main pool and a main buffet, you couldn’t ask for more, but, there is!
How often have you stayed in a hotel with a tennis court? Well, you can now because The Hotel Fariones has one available for your playing delights. To unwind after your match, or just if you want to treat yourself as part of your holiday, Hotel Fariones also has a sauna and massage service which can be found at the Fariones Sports Center 50 metres from the hotel.
You won’t have to travel far to get here either as Lanzarote Airport is 10km away from Fariones while Arrecife is 16km away. It certainly is one of the best 5 star hotels in Lanzarote.
7. Paradisus by Meliá Salinas (All Inclusive, Adults Only)
Wow! Paradisus by Melia Salainas really is a paradise!
Firstly, it’s architecturally incredible. There is an inner atrium with a living garden and trees inside. This instantly makes it one of the best 5 star hotels in Lanzarote.
This is also the only all inclusive hotel on the list which will be a big bonus to some, it is also adults-only. There are 4 on-site restaurants, each one stunningly designed and serving the very best food and then there are also 3 on-site bars – again, each designed fantastically to really elevate your holiday experience. You’ll be taking photos non stop!
There’s a plethora of options when it comes to food, including buffet or a-la-carte with international, local, Italian and Middle Eastern cuisine.
The pool is surrounded by palm trees adding to the luxury. You’ll also be surrounded by two white sandy beaches – literally at the foot of the hotel. With lush gardens and lagoon swimming pools you won’t want to leave the Paradisus by Meliá Salinas Lanzarote. This character and colour of Lanzarote is reflected in the interior – inspired by famous local artist, Cesar Manrique.
This hotel just keeps giving. Other amazing facilities include a tennis court, fitness centre, sauna, private swimming pool and whirlpool. There’s even live music and spa treatments such as massages.
All the bedrooms are, as expected, wonderfully designed and feature either a balcony or terrace, with the bathrooms featuring a rain shower. A free minibar and 24-hour room service are included in all rooms – no wonder this place is called paradise!
