The Dunes Beach House is located in the Bungalows Playa Famara community on the north west coast of Lanzarote, about 30 minutes drive from Arrecife airport.

 

It was built by a Norwegian architect in the 1970s, designed in a unique crescent shape with stone walled garden to have total privacy, shelter from the wind and to blend well into the protected natural surroundings.

 

Bungalows Playa Famara has a reception that is open all year round, a convenience store, massage therapy rooms and a restaurant.

 

 

 

 

Playa de Famara is renowned within the global surfing community and is regularly listed among the top surfing beaches in the world.

 

Surfers and kite surfers abound and, although it is not recommended for swimming, the beach offers spectacular scenery, awe-inspiring views of the Chinijo Archipelago and Los Riscos de Famara (cliffs), beautiful walks and endless beachcombing, paddling, sand castle building and sunset watching opportunities.

 

It's a wind in your hair, sand in your ears kind of place with a natural beauty that will take your breath away.

 

 

 

 

A 5 minute drive along the beach is the small fishing village of Caleta de Famara where you will find a quaint harbour, cafes, restaurants, minimarket, surf shops and a children's play and skate park.

 

 

 

 

A 10 minute, uphill drive out of Famara will bring you to the cultural market town of Teguise where there is a popular Sunday morning market (Mercadillo).  A shopping hub for arts and crafts, fashion, souvenirs and local delicacies, the town also has many cafes, restaurants and museums - including the spectacular Castillo de Santa Barbara - to visit.
