Set the scene
The decor of the Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park is a refined blend of cool, modern aesthetics and traditional Canarian style, with native plants and a cascading water feature emitting a calming murmur. Imagine yourself meandering through the sun-dappled pathways, with the soft whispers of palm fronds overhead and the restless ocean in the distance.
Poolside, the scene is equally captivating. The series of intricate, lagoon-style swimming pools, each flanked by rows of loungers, beckon you for a refreshing dip under the cloudless Lanzarote sky. Mocktail in hand, bask in the luxury of the sun-soaked terrace, where the sparkle of the azure waters mirrors the glittering ocean beyond.
The youthful laughter and playful splashing of families enjoying their vacation adds a delightful soundtrack to this picture of paradise. Even as night falls, the Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park buzzes with a lively yet relaxed energy. Live music wafts from the stylish bars and the twinkling lights reflecting off the pools add a magical touch to the serene evening.

Moving on to the drink options, imagine sauntering up to the poolside bar for a refreshing mojito to beat the noontime heat, or to the indoor bar for a smooth glass of Rioja as the sun sets over the island. For the avid wine enthusiast, be sure to explore the extensive wine list boasting a range of exciting flavors from the crisp, mineral-rich whites of the Rias Baixas to the bold, black fruit driven reds of the Ribera del Duoro.

What’s the backstory
Its origins are deeply rooted in the 70s, born out of the desire to provide tourists with an unmatched luxurious and comfortable stay. Nestled on the southern coastline of Lanzarote, this exquisite resort began as a humble establishment. Over the years, it has grown into a spectacular destination, thanks to relentless efforts, ambitious planning, and an unwavering quest for excellence.
Fast forward to the present, the Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park has come a long way. From its initial blueprint, this Lanzarote resort has undergone various transformations to stay ahead of the curve in the hospitality industry. Proudly standing today as a symbol of freshness and elegance, the hotel has managed to carve its niche, owing to its commitment to quality service and its ability to evolve with changing times.
Price Range
The price range varies depending on the type of room you opt for, seasonal demand, and the number of individuals planning to make the trip. On average, you can expect to pay between 150 Euros to 250 Euros per night for a double room inclusive of breakfast. It's worth noting however, that all-inclusive packages and family rooms tend to be on the higher end of the price scale while rooms with restricted views can be available at a lower rate.
Amenities & Facilities
There are 3 swimming pools sprinkled across the property, including a children's pool and an adults-only pool, making sure every guest has a haven to cool off. Sports aficionados will be charmed by the tennis court, while the fitness center caters to those looking to keep up with their workout regime. Meanwhile, the Star Camp, a children’s club with a multitude of activities, ensures the younger guests are thoroughly entertained.
Delight in the pampering at the hotel’s spa, where a range of therapeutic treatments are offered to rejuvenate your body and mind. There's more – a mini-market on-site allows you the convenience of grabbing essentials without having to venture far. Several lounges, blooming with local plants, provide quiet spots for relaxation.
There’s even a car hire service for when you wish to go exploring the landscape beyond the hotel. An eco-garden, bike rental, and mouth-watering gourmet options complete the picture of opulence that the Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park paints.
How to get to the Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park
Buses frequently shuttle visitors between the airport and the hotel, making the journey a direct one. The Intercity Bus nº161 operates every hour and takes about half an hour to reach the hotel from the airport. The advantage lies in the convenience of having the bus stop directly opposite the hotel, meaning no additional trekking with your luggage.
However, if you're in a hurry or value the comfort and privacy of personal transport, taxis are a viable and quick alternative. A ride from Lanzarote Airport to the Iberostar Selection Lanzarote Park is typically between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Taxi companies like Taxis Yaiza offer fixed fares for this route, eliminating any stress related to unexpected costs.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Location right by the sea, also great!
Unfortunately, the standard rooms are too small, so we had to pay almost €500 to go to a junior suite.
A trip to the volcano is recommended
Жили в сімейному двокімнатному номері. Хотілось би більш зручні ліжка і диван для дитини. Все інше гарно.
Великий вибір їжі, але тільки один ресторан і іноді треба стояти в черзі за їжею. Вибір коктейлів і вина гарний.
Біля басейнів зажди є місце, але лежаки ж же близько стоять, що не дуже комфортно.
For the extra special touch book star prestige you won’t be disappointed
