Hotel LIVVO Volcán Lanzarote is a five-star hotel in Playa Blanca on Calle El Castillo, about half a kilometre from Marina Rubicon, with 251 rooms. It positions itself between a grand resort and a quieter hotel, with three outdoor pools, some of them heated, a hot tub and a garden. The spa, Spa Volcán Lanzarote, offers hydrotherapy, body treatments and massages, and the 24-hour gym is a plus for early risers. Four restaurants serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and international cuisine, and reviewers single out the breakfast buffet. The hotel accepts families and has family rooms, while some Club rooms are reserved for adults, so couples can choose a quieter wing. Free self-parking and free in-room WiFi are offered, and bike rental and a shuttle to the area add convenience for guests who want to explore the south coast.
Location and getting around
The hotel stands in Playa Blanca, in the municipality of Yaiza, within a short distance of the Marina Rubicon waterfront and the town’s promenade. The Papagayo beaches, the ferry to Fuerteventura and the Museo Atlántico dive are all close, and Timanfaya National Park, the Salinas de Janubio and the La Geria wine region are an easy drive away.
The hotel is described as near the beach, though beach access on site is not confirmed, so plan to walk or use the shuttle to reach the sand. A car is useful for the northern César Manrique sites.
The rooms
With 251 rooms the hotel feels more manageable than the biggest resorts, and family room options sit alongside adult-only Club rooms. Ask for a room with a view of the garden or pools if you want something peaceful, and check which rooms are in the adult wing if you prefer a quieter stay. Breakfast is a buffet, and many rate plans include meals, so check what yours covers.
Who it suits
Couples who want a spa and a calmer wing, families who prefer a mid-sized hotel to a mega-resort, and travellers who like good breakfasts and a pool day between excursions. The garden and pools give a resort atmosphere without the scale of the larger complexes.
Good to know
Free self-parking and in-room WiFi are offered. The spa should be booked ahead, especially in the winter season, and it is worth checking the opening hours of the pools, because heated pools may have set times. Winter is the popular season for warm-weather travel, so book early for the best choice of rooms and Club rooms.
