Dreams Lanzarote Playa Dorada Resort & Spa
- Baby
- Toddler
- Kid
The big draw here is the position, sitting directly above Playa Dorada, one of the calmest, most sheltered family beaches on the island. Little ones can paddle in shallow, gentle water, then walk straight back up to the pools and a free kids club. It is a relaxed, easy base for families with very young children.
Our verdict
For families with babies and toddlers who want a calm beach a few steps away, the location here is hard to beat on Lanzarote.
The rooms
Bright rooms and family rooms right above Playa Dorada, many with sea or pool views. Family rooms sleep up to four, and the ground floor rooms open onto the gardens for easy pool access.
