Expert review of Finca de las Salinas
Lanzarote's most luxurious rural retreat has sporty facilities and two excellent restaurants.
This little hotel provides the luxury of two sophisticated restaurants and a state of the art spa. All bedrooms feature rustic decor and have their own terraces, and the comfortable accommodation is found within expansive grounds full of attractive hidden corners. This is an ideal spot for active types. I really enjoyed exploring some of the walking routes accessible nearby; there are also tennis courts for guests’ use and mountain bikes for hire.
Location:
In a rural setting in the village of Yaiza, with a grand walkway lined with colourful tropical plants. The hotel takes its name from the nearby ‘salinas’ (salt pans), which still produce salt from the nearby Atlantic Ocean.
Bedrooms:
There are 19 rooms and a junior suite located around the pool, as well as three suites with views of the garden. All rooms and suites have air conditioning and heating, direct dial telephones, minibars and their own terrace. It is worth asking to see your room on arrival; the first one I was shown was rather musty. There was a little too much yellow and pink paint and cane furniture in the rooms for me.

Public areas:
There is a full service spa, swimming pool, gym, garden and terraces. I particularly enjoyed the series of lounges that allowed you to relax away from other guests, although the cane furniture and pinkish hues were not really to my liking.
Eating and drinking:
The hotel boasts a lobby bar and two restaurants. Bodega Dongonzalo containing the original wine press serves rustic cuisine. Restaurant Mariateresa serves Mediterranean haute cuisine, using local fresh local produce. A bottle of local wine is presented to guests on arrival, which I really appreciated after my long trip from the UK.
Leisure facilities:
The hotel has a full service spa with whirlpool, hydro massage and pool. In the grounds are tennis courts, table tennis and billiards, and mountain bikes can be hired.
Service:
Don’t expect the same attention as you would get in an upmarket city hotel - the staff are helpful but not always available on demand.
