Why Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park Is The Best 5-Star All-Inclusive Resort In Lanzarote

The Canary Islands are a popular destination for resort travelers, and its scenic coasts are dotted with no small number of all-inclusive resorts. The mystical volcanic island of Lanzarote is among the most popular islands. And there, on the southern shore of Playa Blanca, you will find Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park, which is our pick for the best five-star all-inclusive resort in Lanzarote!

Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park was the first outpost in the Canary Islands from the Spanish hospitality group, Iberostar, which opened in 1987. The design of the resort’s unique structure was aided by Cesar Manrique, the renowned natural artist and architect from Lanzarote.

The structure of the resort is modeled after La Geria, a very unique landscape in the wine-growing region of Lanzarote. La Geria is a circular hollow dug into volcanic gravel in which grapevines are planted, and then a circular half-moon wall is built to protect the vines from wind. The Iberostar resort consists of three large half-moon structures with the main features of the resort in the focus of each half-circle. Just like in the vineyards of La Geria, the circular half-moon structures protect the resort from strong winds.

The resort got a gorgeous facelift in 2016 and went from a three-star to five-star hotel in just one year. While the unique half-moon ring structures were maintained, the room installments, gastronomic and service offerings were upgraded to provide a luxurious five-star experience. The aesthetic of the resort is elegant tropicalism. The buildings and rooms match the all-white color scheme of the towns of Lanzarote, with serene seafoam green accents.

The resort is split into three sections in each of the three structures. The first ring is for families, the middle ring is the heart of the resort and the third is the adults-only section for Star Prestige guests.

“Here, the advantage of the three rings is that it permits all types of clienteles to come. We can cater to people who want an adults-only experience who can have a tranquil stay in Star Prestige. Or we also have a ring entirely dedicated to families where children can let loose and their energy in the aquatic park and the pools with tabagons. We have all types of clientele and we’re open to everyone.” – Lorelai Ortega, General Manager of Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park

For those who want the ultimate luxe carefree getaway, the upgrade to Star Prestige is entirely worth it. The Star Prestige room category offers fabulous amenities in the exclusive adults-only section of the resort. Star Prestige guests get access to their own infinity pools and jacuzzi, pool bar with snacks and top-shelf liquor, private dining room with high end buffet plus more premium room installations such as Bluetooth in both the bedroom and bathroom and more ample showers.

Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park Resort is the ideal size: large enough to explore numerous offerings but not so large that it’s tiresome to get around. The resort has three restaurants, five bars, food truck, seven swimming pools, spa, fitness center, tennis and volleyball courts, Star Camp for children and nightly entertainment offerings. The three sections flow naturally into one another so it’s easy drift from one end to the other. The swimming pools in the middle of each ring all face the ocean so sea views accompany you wherever you go. The resort also has quick access to sunny Flamingo Beach just down the road.

The gastronomic offerings at the resort are something to look forward to. The buffet at the main restaurant changes themes every night so that guests never get tired of eating the same thing. Themes change from seafood to Spanish to Mexican to Japanese, and more. There’s also the al fresco restaurant, Mirador, which is open for lunch only with stunning views of the ocean. Here, you can get even more sophisticated lunch fare like elevated tapas (we recommend the super yummy gambas al ajillo), salads, seafood and gourmet burgers.

Iberostar is genuinely committed to highly ambitious sustainability measures. Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park aims to be zero-waste and has completely eliminated the single-use plastics from the property. All seafood in the restaurants is sourced responsibly. They place unique recycled products in the rooms, such as slippers and stationary sets made with recycled plastics. Instead of plastic water bottles, glass carafes and thermoses are provided so that guests can fill up in any of the fresh water stations located throughout the resort. The hotel has saved over 4,000 plastic bottles so far. Iberostar proves its commitment to the oceans and environment through tangible products and actions. As the only hotel that’s committed to becoming zero-waste on the island, sustainability is another big reason Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park is the top five-star all-inclusive resort on the island.

The next time you’re looking for a luxurious all-inclusive getaway by the sea, look no further than Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park in the Canary Islands. With its elegantly serene aesthetic, diversified offerings and authentic commitment to sustainability, Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park proves that it’s the top five-star all-inclusive hotel in Lanzarote.
