Lanzarote is an enchanting island in the collection of islands name the Canarias. Situated to the west of Africa this Spanish municipality offers an abundance of coastal stretches, natural landscapes to see and explore and a mind-boggling amount of places to eat and drink!
The Captains House is located in Puerto Calero, in the south of the island. Whilst offering facilities and places to lose yourself in, it's much quieter than the neighbouring Puerto del Carmen and a twenty-minute drive to the capital city Arrecife.
A ten-minute stroll takes guests to Puerto Calero Marina, home to a massive port which sees over four hundred yachts and super-yachts visit its shores, introducing guests from all walks of life to this beautiful shore side! Shopaholics can feed their cravings with a selection of boutique and designer stores around its shores. Restaurants and bars alongside the pier will keep hunger at bay, and its easy access means you can eat whenever throughout the day! Drink and sip on the finest cocktails as you admire majestic boats and sunsets on seascapes!
To keep with the ever-present nautical theme, hire a boat taxi to the Old Town Harbour in Puerto Del Carmen. As vibrant as Puerto Calero Marina, this pier has managed to retain its authentic Canarias charm so you can truly feel the traditional style of Spanish island living! Dive deeper into tradition by visiting a typical Canarian island restaurant such as a Guanchiche, where you can feast on belly-warming and homely mains and world-famous typical tapas and world-famous wines!
The beaches that line Puerto Del Carmen's shorefront offer golden grains of sand to allow relaxation and sun-bathing with magnificent views across the sea with the mountains as a backdrop! Or splash and swim in the azure, crystalline seas as the Atlantic Sea soothes you from the scorching sun! The beaches offer differing backgrounds, such as quieter and more intimate settings for tender views, peace and bliss or more built-up sections offering parasols, sun-loungers, water-sports and bars and restaurants to keep you on the beach for the entire day!

The Region
Puerto Calero is situated on the outskirts of Puerto del Carmen, positioned in a naturally protected enclave on Lanzarote's sheltered south coast, and has earned a reputation as one of the world's top sailing destinations while retaining a distinctive village-type atmosphere.
Puerto Calero is much more than a marina; there is a wide selection of cafés, bars and restaurants along the waterfront, and it's a beautiful place to sit and watch the comings and goings, with the sound of the clink of ropes on the masts, and the school of fish that swim around the marina – eager for any leftover bread from your meal.
