Hotel Fariones stands as Lanzarote's most historic and elegant hotel, originally opening in the 1960s and undergoing a comprehensive renovation in 2020. Situated in the vibrant Puerto del Carmen, it is conveniently located just ten minutes from the airport, offering easy access for travellers.
Rooms And Facilities
All accommodations at Hotel Fariones are spacious and bathed in natural light, boasting spectacular sea views from every room. Each is well-appointed with the luxuries expected from a five-star establishment, including televisions, coffee machines, and air conditioning. Additionally, every room features a generous and private balcony, perfect for enjoying the coastal scenery.
The hotel's main pool is an impressive infinity-style design, surrounded by plentiful sun loungers and attended by waiters who provide drinks and snacks from the bar. Guests staying in superior rooms also have exclusive access to a rooftop pool, adding an extra layer of luxury to their stay.
Wellness
Hotel guests enjoy complimentary access to the well-equipped gym at Centro Deportivo Fariones, an expansive 14,000m2 fitness facility located a mere two-minute walk from the hotel. This space includes tennis and padel courts, a large pool, a cross-fit zone, and various classes, some of which may incur additional fees.
Nestled within the hotel's lush tropical gardens, a three-minute stroll from the main building, the spa offers a tranquil and bijoux hideaway. It provides holistic treatments using Sçens products, with options like the wellness circuit priced at £57 for a 120-minute sensory experience. This includes bi-thermal showers, a dry sauna, steam baths, a cold-water pool, hydromassage jets, and a jacuzzi, with limited guest numbers ensuring a peaceful atmosphere.
Food And Drink
The culinary offerings at Hotel Fariones are superb, with much of the produce sourced from the hotel's own 30-hectare Uga farm and local suppliers. The food is fresh, seasonal, and full of sun-soaked goodness, reflecting the island's rich agricultural heritage.
The main restaurant, Bella Lucía, offers an elevated buffet experience without the crowds, featuring high-quality dishes such as smoked salmon, premium cuts of meat, and exquisite desserts in a light, sun-filled setting. Other dining options include Erizo, a small intimate restaurant celebrating local cuisine, and Kaori Fusion Restaurant, which specialises in pan-Asian gastronomy. The hotel has recently introduced Chef's Table, a monthly event highlighting local ingredients and abundant produce from the Uga farm.
