Finca Malvasía

Top choice in Lanzarote


On a sprawling wine estate at the heart of the island, 2km south of Masdache, this Manrique-style oasis makes the perfect escape. The seven self-catering apartments frame a lagoon-like pool surrounded by palms, cacti and hot-pink bougainvillea, starring thoughtful, traditional-with-a-contemporary-twist design – bathroom gardens, raised tubs, volcanic-stone walls, local ceramics. British owners Richard and Tarnya are full of Lanzarote tips.

The three-room main house is ideal for families and groups, and yoga, massages, and platters of meats and cheeses are available. You'll receive a digital guide packed full of recommendations upon booking.
