Overview

This elegant, Arabian-inspired beachfront resort looks straight out over the blue Atlantic from Lanzarote’s sun-kissed south coast. At Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort, lagoon-style pools weave between palm-fringed terraces, while a superb choice of suites makes it a favourite for both couples and families. With eight restaurants, a Thalasso spa, and the legendary Kikoland kids’ village, it’s a polished yet relaxed base right on Playa Dorada’s soft sand.

Terracotta towers, palm gardens and glistening turquoise pools curve above Playa Dorada’s golden sand at Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort. By day, float between six outdoor pools or wander the seafront promenade to the chic Rubicón Marina. As the sun sets, choose between tapas on the terrace, Japanese show-cooking or Canarian fine dining with Atlantic views, before strolling back to your spacious suite. For couples and families seeking the Canary Islands’ year-round sun wrapped in polished service, Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort delivers in style. You’re directly on Playa Dorada’s sheltered bay and just 500m from Playa Blanca’s marina and resort centre, with express transfers that usually have you at the hotel in around 45 minutes from ACE.

Map & location


Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain

Set in Playa Blanca on Lanzarote’s sun-drenched south coast, Princesa Yaiza commands a prime spot directly on family-friendly Playa Dorada beach. The promenade outside links the resort centre to the stylish Rubicón Marina, dotted with cocktail bars, boutiques and restaurants.

Playa Blanca itself still hints at its fishing-village roots, with low-rise whitewashed buildings, a yacht-filled harbour and views across the water to Fuerteventura. You’re close to watersports on Playa Dorada, a short hop from Flamingo Beach’s quieter sands, and within easy reach of the famous Papagayo coves.

  • Playa Dorada beach on the beachfront
  • Rubicón Marina 500m
  • Playa Blanca resort centre 500m
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 45 minutes

– Two outdoor whirlpools (age restrictions may apply)

Pool towels are complimentary, and facilities can vary slightly between pools.

Directly in front of the resort lies Playa Dorada beach – a gently shelving, golden-sand bay that’s ideal for swimming and watersports, with sunbeds and umbrellas for hire and a promenade lined with cafés and bars.
