Open Water Swimming
In front of the Resort is Ancla Beach, a small and pleasant cove of white sand and crystal clear water. Its twin breakwaters simulate a natural 492 foot swimming pool, protected from waves and currents to allow risk-free open water swimming. The rocky sea bed is also home to an array of fish and its calm waters are a delight for bathers, making it ideal for relaxed swimming and diving.
Cycling
Lanzarote offers a very varied landscape, from plains to extreme peaks, and a good road network, including many little-used paths that cross fascinating scenery. Your base at Costa Teguise allows you to reach all areas of the island by bike, especially the Risco de Famara area, one of the highest spots on the island. The numerous picturesque villages en route are ideal spots for a break.

In addition to sun and beach, at the Barceló Lanzarote Active Resort hotel you can enjoy a multitude of activities. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy golf during their stay at the spectacular Costa Teguise Golf Course (approximately 2 miles away).
A second golf course can be found in Tías (11 miles away).
Surfing, Windsurfing and Kitesurfing
The pleasant climate, great water temperature, and of course the wind and waves make Lanzarote an ideal destination for windsurfers and surfers from all over the world. In summer, when the trade winds reach Lanzarote, Las Cucharas Beach becomes one of the world’s best spots for windsurfing.
The most powerful waves occur from October to March, although the rest of the year also offers sufficient conditions to catch waves. The biggest waves are usually found on the north, east and west coasts.
For surfing we recommend Famara Beach.
Parapente
For lovers of aeronautical sports such as hang gliding or paragliding, this is the perfect island. The direction and strength of the wind must be taken into account when choosing the best place to take flight. The best days are between November and March. Undoubtedly, one of the most amazing experiences is flying over the Riscos de Famara. Teguise Coast also provides incredible views of the whole island.
