Where to Stay in Lanzarote: Handpicked Holiday Rentals

Like many of us, you’ve probably dreamed of owning a little bolthole in the slice of paradise that is Lanzarote… Some people have made it happen – and when they’re not there, they’re happy to share it with people like you who are looking for somewhere to stay on holiday.

Forget the big online rental platforms and hosts you can barely communicate with. As one of Crazy Canary’s favourite sayings goes: “You’re not on an e-commerce site – you’re at the start of a great encounter.”

That’s why I’ve picked out a few owners I’ve met along the way and got on well with. We agreed that I’d share their places on my site, because we believe in the same things: friendliness and simplicity.

And once you’ve found your perfect spot, why not treat yourself to some of the activities I offer, like a catamaran trip to Papagayo or Lobos, a buggy tour, diving and much more… Click here to see everything you can do.

A well-kept secret on Lanzarote

Tonight I’m sharing one of my favourite finds… For nature lovers like us, there’s a unique place – nothing to do with the “Secrets Lanzarote Resort” hotel – that’s a real hidden paradise: Secret Garden Lanzarote.

Here you sleep in eco-cabins and creative little houses, surrounded by greenery and calm. The garden is full of local plants, and you can even shower under the stars…

It’s the perfect place to switch off, enjoy nature and discover a different side of Lanzarote, far from mass tourism.

Villa Canis: a peaceful haven for an exclusive stay on Lanzarote

If you’re looking for somewhere that’s both comfortable and authentic, Villa Canis is a gem tucked away in the hills above Tías, with breathtaking panoramic views over the ocean and the island’s volcanoes. This true haven of peace, designed for those who appreciate exclusivity, combines luxury and serenity.

At 240 m², the villa sleeps up to eight people in elegant surroundings. It has four bedrooms, including a master suite, three bathrooms and a large, light-filled living area. The outdoor space is made for lazing around, with a heated pool, a built-in hot tub and even a second, separate hot tub for six. Ideally located between Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero, it strikes the perfect balance between peace and quiet and easy access to local amenities – all less than 10 minutes from the airport.

What also sets Villa Canis apart is its selective approach: it’s rented by the week only (7 nights minimum), for a maximum of 8 guests. The owner doesn’t want it to be just another holiday let, but a special place where quality comes before quantity. He’s also keen to point out that the villa holds an official VV holiday-rental licence and that all the paperwork is in order, with guest registrations made to the Guardia Civil through a concierge.

In short, if you’re after a high-end experience, away from the crowds but close to everything, Villa Canis is one to remember.

Where to stay in Costa Teguise

Nadège’s apartment:

After several holidays in the Canaries – Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and finally Lanzarote – it was this island that she and her husband truly fell in love with, and they feel good every time they set foot on this beautiful island.

Originally from Lille and now in their fifties, they live in south-west France and decided 4 years ago to invest in a first apartment in Costa Teguise, a pleasant family resort, where they plan to spend their retirement.

The apartment sleeps 2 to 3 people and is in a complex with a pool and private parking, with a terrace that gets sun all day and overlooks the pool and the sea.

Bedroom with a 180×200 bed, bathroom with walk-in shower, vanity unit and washing machine, fully equipped kitchen, living room with sofa bed, wifi and TV with international channels.

Where to stay in Puerto del Carmen

Patricia’s apartment:

I met Patricia and her husband when I was still a buggy tour guide on Lanzarote, while getting Crazy Canary off the ground. We hit it off straight away. Although she’s travelled all over the world, she told me she completely fell for Lanzarote and didn’t need much persuading to buy her very well-located apartment in Puerto del Carmen, which she makes available to you when she’s not there. Here’s her description:

El Sueño Ocean Lanzamar.

We rent out an apartment in Puerto del Carmen with sea views from the terrace. It’s in a complex with a pool, sun loungers and a playground. It has one bedroom and a living room, and sleeps a family with 2 children or 3 adults.

Contact her on +33 6 99 39 52 38 or at patlc92@yahoo.fr.

Christophe’s apartment:

Another family I met back when I was a buggy guide. They’d also travelled a lot abroad before deciding to buy a little place on the island of eternal spring. Puerto del Carmen, where their apartment is, is a very strategic spot: you’re close to the sea while being ideally central for day trips to every corner of Lanzarote.
