A landmark hotel, the H10 Rubicón Palace added an extra star to become a five-star hotel in 2018 after a refurb. This cemented its status as a Playa Blanca institution. Rocking up to it feels like an event and the old-school maps at reception turn checking in here into a real occasion. The island's third largest resort after Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise, south-westerly Playa Blanca is the newest and most upmarket tourist development. That makes it the perfect spot for H10's flagship Lanzarote property. There's fun for all the family too, with plenty to see and do in and around the complex. Surveying the scene from the lobby makes you feel like you're on the top level of a cruise ship.
Montaña Roja looms large over H10 Rubicón Palace and there are organized hikes to reach the top of the Red Mountain.
The hotel is in the fishing village of Playa Blanca, well placed for an easy trip to Fuerteventura - the ferry port is a ten-minute drive away.
By plane: flights from London, Birmingham and Manchester to Lanzarote take around 4 hours 30 mins. The hotel is a 30 minute drive from Lanzarote airport. Free parking on-site. skyscanner.net
Families with kids big and small will enjoy the laidback atmosphere and extensive facilities here at H10 Rubicón Palace. The extravagant lobby's grand 'Mapa de Los Territorios del Africa Occidental Española y Archipiélago de Canarias' - a map of the Canaries - perfectly frames the hotel.
The pools are simply stunning and transport you to tropical Polynesia, what with the thatched roofs of the attached bars.
