When planning a summer getaway, finding the perfect family hotel can either be a breath of fresh air for parents or a recipe for chaos if the amenities and services aren’t thoughtfully designed for all family members—young and old alike. Thus, choosing a hotel that balances restfulness and excitement, sophisticated dining, and simple snacks becomes essential.
One hotel that successfully strikes this balance is the Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel in Lanzarote, a sanctuary created to delight both children and parents. It’s no surprise that it has earned the title of the Best Family Resort in Spain.

Kids’ Paradise
The hotel is designed with children in mind, featuring Kikoland, a lavish play area spanning over 10,000 square meters. This expansive space includes a variety of sporting facilities such as tennis, padel, basketball, football, and beach volleyball courts. A dedicated children’s pool area hosts water polo championships and other engaging aquatic activities designed specifically for younger guests.
Moreover, the hotel offers specialized sports training experiences, the Soccer School, overseen by former Premier League players Gary Sperry and Scott Nisbet, guaranteeing a memorable experience for young sports enthusiasts.
Culinary Delights
The culinary philosophy of Rosa Hotels, the group managing the Princesa Yaiza, centers on blending modern eating trends with traditional cuisine. This commitment to quality shines through in the hotel’s nine on-site dining spaces, which include à la carte options, buffet meals, and al fresco locations designed for both high-end gastronomy and casual family dining.
One of the premier establishments, the Isla de Lobos Restaurant, offers spectacular views of the natural reserve of Fuerteventura. Awarded a Sol Repsol, it specializes in utilizing local, sustainable ingredients to craft innovative dishes that resonate with guests.

Chef Gonzalo Calzadilla explains, “Isla de Lobos is a gastronomic restaurant based on traditional cooking but modernized for today’s palate.” The evolving menu often features locally sourced produce from Finca de Uga, a estate owned by Rosa Group that champions sustainability.
Let’s not forget the intricate dishes—tender Jersey beef steak tartare and exquisitely paired scallops—promise an unforgettable dining experience.
Thrilling Asian Cuisine
While the Isla de Lobos might be the crown jewel, Kampai, the hotel’s Asian restaurant, offers a lively Teppanyaki dining experience where chefs turn cooking into a captivating performance. Guests can indulge in an array of sushi delights while enjoying an interactive meal that blends entertainment with gastronomy.
