Explore the other side of Lanzarote at this magical getaway. Overlooking the strait of La Bocaina and the Bay of Playa Blanca, home to some of the island's most unspoilt beaches, this is a very special hotel indeed. These charming single-storey buildings, decorated in the traditional white and green, were built at the beginning of the last century, and were originally home to an ambassador – hence the hotel's name. Over time he let rooms to early travelers and settlers in Lanzarote, and so began the tradition of hospitality that lasts to this day. The intimate scale remains in today's hotel, along with the strong sense of character and place. Rooms are decorated in a refreshingly uncluttered style, with the traditional terracotta-tile floors, white or cool blue walls and very elegant wooden furniture. Whether you come for activity or total relaxation, you will find a warm, friendly welcome and the most personal and discrete attention.

All of the rooms offer high-quality furnishings, a good amount of space and beautiful views towards Fuerteventura and the Lobos Islands, as well as satellite television with international channels. The hotel is ideal if you're looking for a less hurried pace: you can laze in a sun lounger on the flower-filled terrace, relaxing to the sound of the waves crashing just below you, or curl up with a book in the comfortable lounge. This part of the island is full of wonderful places to explore, and the hotel will be very happy to help organize car or bicycle rental, diving, and private sailing excursions. The hotel has private parking. Or if you want to head straight for the beach, the sea can be reached by some steps cut into the lava just by the property.

Playa Blanca is located on the south coast of Lanzarote, a privileged enclave with wonderful beaches and a beautiful natural landscape. Though it is close to the most populous zones of the island, the area is characterized by a more sensitive development and lower-density population. All this makes Playa Blanca a wonderful escape, and the ideal place to switch off. Lanzarote International Airport is about 25 kilometers away.
