On Lanzarote, an island full of unique landscapes and magical corners, the Natural Pools of Los Charcones stand out, a hidden paradise that combines the tranquillity of the sea with the wild beauty of volcanic nature. The natural pools of Los Charcones are one of Lanzarote's most hidden treasures. Here we tell you all about it so that you can enjoy your visit to the full.
Los Charcones are a series of natural pools formed between volcanic rocks, located along the southwest coast of Lanzarote. These pools are filled with crystal clear water by the Atlantic tides, creating a stunning contrast between the turquoise blue of the water and the black of the volcanic formations.
Each pool has a different size and depth, so you'll find everything from small pools ideal for a relaxing swim to larger pools perfect for swimming. Their unspoilt and uncrowded character makes them a perfect refuge for those seeking tranquillity and contact with nature.
Los Charcones are located near Playa Blanca, in the municipality of Yaiza, in the southwest of Lanzarote. It is a little off the beaten tourist track, which contributes to its charm as a quiet, uncrowded destination.
The Los Charcones area covers several kilometres of coastline, with different access points to the pools. Some of the most popular Charcones are just a short drive from Playa Blanca, making them easy to visit if you are staying in this part of the island.
Access to Los Charcones is easy, but it is important to bear in mind that there are no specific signs or tourist infrastructures in the area. Here's how to get there:
If you opt for the walking option, we recommend wearing comfortable footwear suitable for walking on rocks. Don't forget water, food and sun protection, as there are no services in the area. And check the tides before visiting Los Charcones, as some pools are safer and more accessible at low tide.
To get the most out of your visit to Los Charcones, we invite you to stay in our hotel César Lanzarote. Strategically located on the island, you will be able to enjoy these pools just a few minutes from the hotel.
At César Lanzarote, not only will you enjoy a unique space to relax, you will also be able to take advantage of its gourmet restaurant (where you can enjoy the local cuisine) and unequalled facilities to connect with the natural essence of the island of Lanzarote.
