How to find the best spa hotel deal in Lanzarote
Book in advance
Spa hotels are often popular, especially around weekends and peak periods. Booking ahead can give you a better choice of appointment times, spa packages and rooms.
Or score last-minute Lanzarote spa hotel deals
During the low season, hotels sometimes drop their rates at short notice to avoid leaving rooms empty. You may have more luck finding availability on weekdays rather than at weekends, and being flexible with appointment times can also help.
Flexible dates can unlock better prices
Check different months and compare weekend and weekday rates before completing your booking. Spa hotel packages in Lanzarote can vary widely in price between weekdays and weekends, so opting for a Sunday to Thursday stay and avoiding major public holidays can help you score a lower rate.
Things to know before booking a spa hotel in Lanzarote
No two spa hotels are exactly alike. From saunas and relaxation areas to massages, beauty treatments and wellness facilities, knowing what's included can help you decide on the hotel that's right for you. Here's what to check for.
Spa access and inclusions
Some hotels include spa access with the room rate, while others make it a paid extra. Treatments are usually an additional cost, while some facilities may require booking in advance.
Spa facilities
If you're looking to unwind, the spa facilities available can make all the difference. Open-air pools are ideal for slowing down, while thermal baths and hydrotherapy circuits help restore body and mind.
While saunas and steam rooms are all about heat and humidity, hammams add a traditional bathing element to the experience. You can also enjoy a garden and an outdoor swimming pool at several spa hotels in Lanzarote.
Some hotels take things a step further, with relaxation areas designed for a little peace and quiet. Certain destinations are also well known for natural thermal springs, offering another way to unwind with reputed therapeutic benefits.
To narrow your results when browsing for Lanzarote hotel and spa deals, go to the 'Amenities' filter and select the 'Leisure and Entertainment' tab.
Spa treatments and wellness experiences
There's more to a spa hotel than just massages and facials. Beyond the usual spa staples, you may find aromatherapy, beauty services and body treatments. Some also feature fitness classes, couples treatments and yoga sessions.
When to visit Lanzarote for a spa break
High season in Lanzarote
The busiest months to fly to Lanzarote are July, August and December. It's a livelier time to visit, with more people around and hotels in greater demand.
Wellness resorts are often in high demand and room rates can rise during peak months, so booking early is a good idea.
You'll likely pay more for flights and hotels during these peak periods.
Low season in Lanzarote
April, May and June are the quietest months to fly to Lanzarote.
Demand is often lower in the quiet season, so you'll have more spa hotel packages in Lanzarote to choose from.
Keep the price of your spa break within budget — flights to Lanzarote usually cost less during the low season too.
That being said, spa hotels can cut back on treatments or plan maintenance in low season — confirm what's available before you arrive.
