Las Piteras

Perched on a sand-covered hilltop, in a secluded and peaceful area, the family resort of Las Piteras enjoys wonderful views of the sea and comfortable accommodation. Set within a naturist residential area there are a range of good facilities and is an ideal spot for exploring the island.

Location

Las Piteras is situated 24km north-east of Lanzarote’s capital, Arrecife and 5km off the main road near the village of Mala. This isolated location ensures a peaceful and tranquil holiday close to nature. The group of three (mainly single storey) buildings has been built on a sand-covered clifftop, overlooking the sea. An almost permanent breeze tempers and dries the prevailing heat, ensuring comfortable nights’ sleep under a blanket – even in the summer!

Naturism at Las Piteras

As Las Piteras is within a naturist residential area nudity is permitted day and night. Within the naturist area, just 275m away, is the Castillo de Papagayo complex with a mini-market, a pub, three restaurants (occasional music, dancing and other entertainment), a cafeteria, a small grocer’s and a further large rock pool.

Facilities

The sheltered freshwater swimming pool is the social centre of Las Piteras. The complex also offers a communal BBQ next to the pool, boules court, table tennis table and darts board. Whilst boules (old) are available, you will need your own bats, ball and darts. A small natural sea-water pool is deep enough to swim in at high tide and about two hours either side of it. The sea-water temperature is fairly constant at 20°C (68°F) all year. Elsewhere, rocks make sea bathing dangerous but provide their own interest as the sea continually hammers out caves, blowholes and arches.
