Lanzarote, Spain

Barceló Playa Blanca

Name: Barceló Playa Blanca
Address: Lanzarote, Spain

4-Star Hotel

Barceló Playa Blanca stands a hundred metres from Playa Dorada in the south of Lanzarote, next to the Marina Rubicón, about half an hour from the airport. Three restaurants, a spa and an outdoor pool sit inside a resort that also contains an adults-only zone sold separately as Royal Level. The hotel sells all-inclusive, and its guest score is among the highest on the island: Booking 8.8 from more than 1,500 reviews. The package covers the buffet and the bars. What it does not cover is the à la carte restaurants. Barceló gives all-inclusive guests a twenty per cent discount on them instead of including them, and that applies to the Royal Level zone as well. It is the single thing to check before comparing this hotel with the others on the island.

Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews

Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 25 September 2026 · How we review hotels

Barceló Playa Blanca has one of the strongest guest scores on Lanzarote, built on more than 1,500 reviews, and a good position between Playa Dorada and the Marina Rubicón. Its all-inclusive covers the buffet and the bars, but the à la carte restaurants are outside the package and offered at a twenty per cent discount instead, which is a materially weaker promise than the hotels above it.

A four-star Barceló resort by the Marina Rubicón in southern Lanzarote with a strong guest score and an all-inclusive covering the buffet. The à la carte restaurants are discounted, not included.

Guests score it 8.8 out of 10 — the average across the 13 hotels we list in Lanzarote is 8.8.

Rooms & which one to pick

Our tip: Couples after the best outlook should book the Superior Room with Sea View or the adults-only Superior Swim Up, both with a king bed and sofa bed; if a view isn't essential, the Junior Suite offers the same king bed setup for two. Families needing more room should choose the Junior Suite (2 Adults + 2 Children) or the Superior Room (2 Adults + 2 Children), as both sleep four with a king bed plus sofa bed or twin beds and sofa bed.
