Costa Teguise is a city of 8,300 people (2018) on the eastern side of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. It is close to Arrecife, the capital, and 10 to 15 minutes by car from the airport. It offers all types of accommodations and activities. Costa Teguise is one of the most attractive tourist areas on Lanzarote thanks to its array of lodgings, beaches, services and the tranquillity. This is definitely one of the preferred destinations for families visiting the island.
From the airport by bus you need to change in Arrecife. Google Maps and Moovit help to find the right connection.
Bus is easy to get from Arrecife and Puerto del Carmen and runs all night (€2.60 to Carmen). The buses have multiple stops in the town. The final bus stop in town is called Hotel Salinas Ida 📍.
The centre of the village is on the bay of Playa de las Cucharas. It's a bit spread out, but relatively flat and can therefore be explored on foot.
Costa Teguise, Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen and Playa Honda are covered by one connected e-scooter sharing system. The service is provided by Superpedestrian Link Scooters and can be used with the according app. You can take and leave one e-scooter anywhere. Excluded are only some areas directly at the coast of Costa Teguise. One ride costs €1 to unlock and €0.30 per minute (Feb 2023).
Several bus lines operate in town along the coast.
You can hire a car for €50 for a three-day period and drive around the island to see the interesting landscapes and sights.
There is shepherd's pie and scampi and chips in the myriad British-style pubs, but you'll find nicer places are around the old square with huge steaks and (fairly pricey) tapas.
Nice tapas place on the main road which curves around the outside of the resort.
The Chill Out Bar on the first floor along from Dreams is about the only decent bar in the town. More South East Asian in feel than Spanish, but pretty cool and cheap beers.
Everywhere else in Costa Teguise is like something out of Phoenix Nights, i.e. stuck in 1982. Wall-to-wall karaoke and pop tribute acts. Places with the names "The Red Lion" and "The Black Bull" abound, with most showing Coronation Street and Emmerdale (Britush soap operas).
Cayote Disco Pub is about the only place that could reasonably be described as a nightclub (or disco, "nightclub" seems to be widely understood as a brothel in Spain - which would be more interesting, frankly), but it's still pretty ropey.
There are a number of large 4-5 star hotels.
