Activities at Barceló Playa Blanca

Fitness classes (yoga, Pilates, aqua aerobics), the Barcy Club for ages 4–12, and a Teen Club for 12–16 are all included. Lanzarote's best activities — Timanfaya National Park, Papagayo beaches, La Geria wine region — require an extra-cost excursion.

Beach Access
Spa

Swimming Pools

Main Infinity Pool

180 meters long, partially heated. The defining feature of this property — not a stock resort pool. Wide enough to accommodate the resort's 720 rooms without becoming unpleasant. Morning hours before 10 AM are the quietest.

Kids' Splash Pool

Heated children's pool with pirate ship and slides. Separate from the main pool. The dedicated infrastructure means the main pool doesn't get overrun by children — a meaningful distinction.

Royal Level Adults-Only Infinity Pool

Heated, exclusively for Royal Level guests (18+). Private solarium and poolside service. Considerably quieter than the main pool — a principal reason to book Royal Level for adult travelers.

Semi-private Swim-up Pools

Accessed directly from swim-up room terraces. The pool is shared with other swim-up room guests but not the general pool population — semi-private rather than fully private.

Beaches

Playa Dorada

100 meters from the resort entrance. Artificial beach with fine white/golden sand and wave-protected water — calm and genuinely swimmable. Sunbed and umbrella rental at extra cost. Jet skiing, kayaking, and water sports available from the beach at extra charge. Lifeguards on duty.

Playa Blanca Urban Beach

1 km from the resort, accessible on foot along the promenade. White sand, calm water, and a beachfront restaurant strip. Less developed than Playa Dorada with a more local feel.

Punta Papagayo Beaches

6.4 km away in a protected natural monument. Blonde-white sand, sheltered coves with calm, clear water — the best snorkeling near the resort. Small vehicle access fee applies. No resort umbrellas or sunbed rental — bring your own shade. Worth a half-day excursion by car or taxi.

Activities & Entertainment

Gym Access

Included

Included. Sea-view gym with cardio, weight training, TRX, and functional training area. Modern equipment in a new build — better maintained than older resort gyms.

Yoga Classes

Included

Included. Part of the daily fitness program. Check the schedule at check-in.

Pilates Classes

Included

Included. Core-focused sessions in the daily fitness program.

Aqua Aerobics

Included

Included. Pool-based fitness class — works well for guests who find land-based aerobics hard on joints.

Barcy Club (Ages 4-12)

Included

Included, daily. 'Happy Minds' program with games, workshops, and creative activities. Runs Monday through Sunday.

Barcy Club Games & Workshops

Included

Included. The structured workshop component of the kids club — arts and crafts, themed days.

Children's Leisure Areas

Included

Included. Dedicated zones for younger guests to play between pool sessions and club activities.

Heated Splash Pool with Pirate Ship & Slides

Included

Included. A proper children's splash area rather than just a shallow pool. The pirate ship structure and multiple slides make this the most popular zone with kids under 10.

Teen Club (Ages 12-16) Access

Included

Included. 'Sala One' teen club with dedicated programming — teenagers aren't just left to wander.

Teen Club Video Games

Included

Included within the teen club. Good option for teenagers who exhaust the pool and beach after a few days.

Teen Club Climbing Wall

Included

Included within the teen club. A practical activity feature rather than a token add-on.

Daily Entertainment Program

Included

Included. Full daytime schedule of organized activities. New resort — quality and consistency may vary as the team develops routines.

Evening Shows & Live Music

Included

Included. Performances at the outdoor entertainment arena. Strong early reviews for show quality.

Mini-Disco

Included

Included. Children's evening dance event — keeps kids engaged after dinner while parents can have an adult drink.

Extra cost

Extra charge. Snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and jet skis available at Playa Dorada 100m away. Boat excursions to Papagayo beaches are a popular half-day option.

Diving Experiences

Land Sports Court Rentals

Extra cost

Extra charge for court and equipment. Multi-purpose courts for football, basketball, pickleball, and paddle tennis.

Buggy Tours

Extra cost

Extra charge. Guided off-road exploration of Lanzarote's volcanic interior — one of the most distinctive island activities available.

Catamaran Trips

Extra cost

Extra charge. Sailing excursions to La Graciosa Island and Papagayo — typically a half-day with snorkeling stops.

Timanfaya National Park Tour

Extra cost

Extra charge. Lanzarote's volcanic park with lava fields and geothermal demonstrations — one of the most unusual landscapes in Europe. Worth booking for at least one half-day.

La Geria Wine Region Tour

Extra cost

Extra charge. Lanzarote's vine-growing region uses volcanic craters to shelter individual vines from the wind — a visually distinctive landscape with local wine tastings included.

Jameos del Agua & Teguise Market Excursions

Extra cost

Extra charge. The Jameos del Agua volcanic cave complex is one of Manrique's best works on the island. Teguise Sunday market is the largest on Lanzarote.
