Costa Teguise was purpose-built as a resort, so its apartments are overwhelmingly low-rise flats set around shared pools and gardens, many of them within a few streets of the sea. You will find compact studios for two, family flats with a second bedroom and roomier penthouses with a wraparound terrace, alongside the wider choice on our Costa Teguise holiday lettings and villas pages. Most come with the practical extras that make a self-catering week easy.

• A full kitchen for cooking with market produce
• Shared or private pool, often with a children's section
• Balcony or terrace facing the sea or the gardens
• Wi-Fi and air conditioning for warmer months
• Parking, useful for island day trips

Between them, these extras cover both quiet couple stays and busy family weeks.

1. Windsurf at Playa de las Cucharas

   The resort's main beach is the reason many people book here at all. Steady trade winds funnel across the bay, and Playa de las Cucharas has long been one of the Canaries' best-known windsurfing spots, with international events staged offshore in high summer. Schools on the sand hire boards and rigs by the hour and run beginner lessons, while sunbeds and cafés line the back of the beach for anyone happier watching. Mornings are usually calmer if you would rather swim first and sail later.

2. Wander the Sunday market in Teguise

   A fifteen-minute drive inland takes you to Teguise, the island's old capital, whose cobbled squares fill every Sunday morning with one of the largest markets in the Canaries. Stalls sell aloe vera, goat's cheese, mojo sauces, straw hats and local crafts, with folk music playing between them. Arrive early to park easily, then step into the Palacio Spínola or the church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe once the crowds build. It is an easy self-catering shop for the week ahead as well.

3. Snorkel at Playa del Jablillo

   Sheltered by a breakwater, Playa del Jablillo stays shallow and calm when the wind is up elsewhere, which makes it the family beach of Costa Teguise. Masks and snorkels are enough to spot damselfish and the occasional ray over the rocky edges, and the sand shelves gently for small children. Showers, a lifeguard in season and a handful of cafés sit within a minute's walk, so it works as a lazy half-day rather than an expedition. Bring reef shoes for the rockier corners.

4. Spend a day at the Aquapark

   On the slope above the resort, the Aquapark Costa Teguise is the island's main water park and a reliable rainy-plan-free afternoon for families. Slides range from gentle runs for small children to steeper drops for teenagers, with a lazy river, pools and shaded terraces between them. Lockers and food outlets are on site, so a single trip absorbs most of a day. It is close enough that many guests walk or take a short taxi rather than move the hire car.

5. Cross the fire mountains of Timanfaya

   An hour's drive south-west brings you to Timanfaya National Park, a landscape of ash fields and craters left by eruptions in the 1730s. Visits run as a coach route through the fire mountains, with demonstrations at the visitor centre where geothermal heat still sits just below the surface. Book early in the day in summer, as queues build quickly. Nearby, the vineyards of La Geria make an obvious second stop, with tastings of the island's volcanic malvasía wines. Guests over on our Playa Blanca apartments page combine both easily.

6. Follow the César Manrique trail

   The artist who shaped Costa Teguise left his mark all over Lanzarote, and several of his sites make comfortable day trips. Jameos del Agua and the Cueva de los Verdes occupy a collapsed volcanic tube in the north, the Mirador del Río looks across to La Graciosa, and the Fundación César Manrique fills his old lava-built home near Tahíche. Together they explain why the island has no high-rise towers, a rule visible in the low white blocks of the resort itself.

7. Stroll the promenade to Pueblo Marinero

   Costa Teguise's seafront path runs for several kilometres past coves, gardens and cafés, and it is the simplest way to see the resort end to end. Walk it in the late afternoon and finish at Pueblo Marinero, the whitewashed square designed with Manrique's involvement, where terraces spill out under the balconies and a craft market appears on some evenings. Bars around the square stay busy until late, and there are more island bases to browse on our Canary Islands holiday lettings page.
