Gran Castillo Tagoro Family & Fun

For a family holiday that delivers both fun and relaxation in spades, the Gran Castillo Tagoro Family & Fun on Lanzarote’s south coast has everything you’d want – and plenty more.

Six pools, each with a different vibe, mean you’ll have plenty of choice when it comes to finding your ideal swimming or sunbathing spot. These include an adults-only pool flanked by Balinese beds, family pools surrounded by palm trees, and children’s splash pools with water slides and fountains.

While little ones have a blast at Castleland Club – a play zone packed with activities, a games room and a jam-packed entertainment programme – you can sneak off to the spa for a massage or unwind in the therapeutic thermal circuit. Feeling energetic? Hit the fully equipped gym, jump into a game of volleyball, or take a dip in one of the family-friendly pools. Craving some coastline? Head to nearby beaches like Playa Mujeres, Playa del Pozo, and the spectacular Playa de Papagayo, famed for its rugged volcanic backdrop and aquamarine waters.

Food-wise, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Las Coloradas Buffet Restaurant dishes up international favourites from live cooking stations, while Portofino Restaurant has reopened in a temporary location (soon to be the new La Ricotta Restaurant, opening November 2025) serving up delicious à la carte Italian dishes. And for Asian flavours, keep an eye out for Oishii Restaurant, expected to open in November 2025.

Feeling peckish between meals? The brand-new Las Coloradas Snack Bar, conveniently located next to the buffet restaurant, is perfect for light bites and drinks. You’ll also find the Princesa Aurora Snack Bar nearby for even more snack options. And keep an eye out for exciting new additions coming soon, including the stylish Isla de Lobos Beach Club and Bar Isla Mágica (both due to open in November 2025).

When evening rolls around, the Salon Lounge Bar serves up drinks, live entertainment and a lively atmosphere. There’s also a sports bar for keeping up with the footy, and by November 2025, a new watering hole – Bar Isla Mágica – will open next to the playground in the Real Adventure zone.
