HOTEL FARIONES: BEST OF SPORT AND WELLNESS IN LANZAROTE
1. Introduction: A comprehensive concept of health and sport in Lanzarote
Hotel Fariones and Centro Deportivo Fariones represent an unparalleled combination of five-star hospitality and an active lifestyle on the island of Lanzarote. Located just 50 meters from the hotel, in the heart of Puerto del Carmen—the old fishing village known as La Tiñosa—this complex offers guests and the general public an impressive 14,000 square meters of space. This vast area is entirely dedicated to sport, health, performance, and wellness, making it one of the most important and complete sports centers in the Canary Islands.
The natural environment surrounding the facilities is meticulously cared for, integrating harmoniously with the native vegetation and the volcanic landscape that characterizes Lanzarote. Far from being a mere complement, sport is part of the soul of the hotel and its community, so the facilities have been designed to cater to all segments of the population: from children learning to swim or play tennis, to older adults looking for healthy physical maintenance, and even elite athletes who require specific, high-intensity training.
The great advantage of this complex is its immediate proximity to the sea and its excellent geographical orientation, which protects the facilities from the wind—a considerable advantage in Lanzarote. Guests of Hotel Fariones enjoy privileged and complimentary access to the facilities and group classes, as well as substantial discounts on court bookings and private sessions. “Move, connect, and take care of yourself” is the philosophy that permeates every corner of this destination.
