Rating8.1Adults OnlyThe included activity list covers the basics thoroughly: two tennis courts, beach volleyball, table tennis, water polo, gym access, and the RiuFit and RiuArt programs. The RiuLand Kids' Club is the family-focused headline. For paid activities, Lanzarote's volcanic landscape makes external excursions — Timanfaya National Park, Jameos del Agua — worth arranging through the tour desk.
Adult pool, heated in winter. Sun decks with loungers on all sides. Good swimming depth. Morning hours are the least crowded window.
Second heated adult pool. Slightly different sun exposure than Pool 1 — useful on days when one pool deck is shadier.
Unheated adult pool. Comfortable in summer; cooler in shoulder season. Typically less busy than the heated pools.
Fourth adult pool. The sunbed claiming issue at this resort is real — arrive at the pool deck before 8:30am or accept limited options.
Heated, dedicated kids' pool adjacent to the RiuLand club area. Shallow and properly supervised during operating hours.
Second heated children's pool. Provides capacity relief when the kids' club is at full attendance.
Wide sandy Blue Flag beach, 30 meters from the resort via back gates. Calm, south-facing water sheltered from the Atlantic swell that batters Lanzarote's windward coast.
