Riu Olivina Resort in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote, Canary Islands

Riu Olivina Resort details

Tucked away between towering trees and exotic blooms, Riu Olivina Resort is a little slice of the tropics.

On the edge of Puerto del Carmen, Riu Olivina Resort has bagged itself a best-of-both-worlds setting. It’s far enough away from all action to be quiet and relaxed, but is still less than half an hour’s walk from shops, restaurants and bars. What’s more, the resort is surrounded by lush greenery and colourful flowers, giving it a distinctly tropical feel.

And there’s nowhere better to enjoy your surroundings than by one of the four swimming pools here. They’re all a good size – one, in particular, is massive – and come complete with sunbathing terraces, sunloungers and parasols. There’s also a kids’ pool and a poolside snack bar.

On the activities front, meanwhile, the resort offers table tennis, table football and two hard surface tennis courts. A children’s club for 4 to 12-year-olds makes sure the little ones are taken care of, too. There’s also a great evening entertainment programme here which features live music and dancing shows several times a week.

When it comes to rooms at the Riu Olivina Resort, you can stay in either a room or an apartment. Both are onsite, so whichever you choose, you can enjoy all the facilities of the resort including its All Inclusive package. Both sets of accommodation are simple yet stylish – think fresh white walls, wooden furniture and huge patio doors.
