A basically built for tourism resort located around 9 km north of the capital Arrecife, Costa Teguise is, these days, one of Lanzarote’s most popular coastal resorts, attracting visitors throughout the year, and providing a fine climate and good facilities for all who arrive there. The resident population of Costa Teguise is only about 4,000, though of course holidaymaker numbers far exceed this figure. The resort developed after a new hotel was opened there in the late 1970’s, designed by Lanzarote’s favourite son, Cesar Manrique, the hotel was followed by a golf course, a water park and plenty of low rise development, built with the environment in mind, making it less spoilt than resorts such as Puerto del Carmen. The resort, like the rest of Lanzarote enjoys a superb climate with Costa Teguise weather being mostly sunny and dry for most of the year, rainfall is almost non-existent, though cooling sea breezes can keep temperatures down during the winter months. Costa Teguise has a decent nightlife and lots of water sports facilities, together with fine beaches, making it an ideal holiday choice. Costa Teguise Map.
