Finca De Las Salinas

A small rural hotel on Lanzarote

This splendid rural hotel has it's origins in the mid-18th century It was originally the home of D. Jaime Lleo, a pharmacist, who built himself an important and successful business in farming and export of salt. The house therefore takes its name from the salinas (salt pans) that were the source of Don Jaime's wealth.

Today the salinas are still there producing salt from the Atlantic Ocean, while the house was carefully refurbished as a small rural hotel in 1996.

Finca De La Salinas is a classic mansion painted in traditional ochre and white, with a romantic avenue of exotic trees in the grounds. Inside, the hotel is decorated with a stylish mixture of well preserved antiques and modern designer furniture. Right through the house there are seductive little corners offering excellent views of the Timanfaya National Park and the Fire Mountains.

Many of the guest rooms are in what were once the stables, now carefully refurbished by architect Ángel García Puertas to offer guests all the luxuries of modern living. The lively colours and subtle lighting are a potent mix to gladden the heart of the most jaded visitor. The lounge too, is a delight, with beautiful wicker cane furniture and an avant gard roof of glass and steel that lets the light pour through.

Finca de las Salinas is situated in the beautiful village of Yaiza, well away from the usual tourist centres, where all the houses retain the traditional white walls and green windows. Guests can choose to relax by the hotel's own pool in the beautiful volcanic gardens, on the nearby beaches at Papagayo or indulge themselves in the new Spa Las Salinas which includes hammam, sauna, numerous hydrotherapies, massages, etc, etc. For the more energetic, there is a gymnasium, a tennis court and the opportunity to walk for miles in the Timanfaya National Park.

Restaurant:

Finca de las Salinas has two great restaurants, Restaurante Maria Teresa and Bodega Don Gonzalo. Careful service, attention to detail, colourful atmosphere and a warm ambience make an ideal setting to enjoy an exquisite selection of dishes prepared under the gastronomic guidance of Chef Joachim Koerper (recipient of 5 Michelin Stars).
Restaurante Maria Teresa is characterised by its fusion cuisine, merging tastes, colours and textures of traditional and modern cooking. In the Bodega diners can enjoy less elaborate but certainly no less delicious dishes and tapas.

A Word From the Owner:

Nearby Amenities:

Walking (various routes around the area offer the opportunity to see all of the Timanfaya National Park and to visit the beaches at Papagayo. There are also spectacular views across to the islands of Fuerteventura and Lobos). Lanzarote is dominated by the volcanic cones and lava fields that were thrown up by the volcanic eruptions of the 18th century. Wherever you go, on foot, on bicycle or in a car, the scenery is spectacular and verging on the surreal.

The beaches at Papagayo are beautiful and peaceful.

The Green Lake at El Golfo takes the form of a crescent, resting against the side of a former volcanic crater. It's distinctive colour comes from the unique shellfish called Clicos that live there in abundance.

The whole island of Lanzarote has been designated a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, international recognition of the importance of both the natural and man-made features that make the island unique.

What We Say:

Finca De Las Salinas is a wonderful place to relax and recharge the batteries. Swim, sunbathe, take an aromatherapy massage, finish the day with a game of tennis in the cool of the late afternoon. But more than that, it's a comfortable pied-a-terre for those who want to discover the beautiful, haunting, spectacular island of Lanzarote.
