Puerto Calero is a small marina village on the south-east coast, a few kilometres west of Puerto del Carmen. The driver brings you to your hotel, apartment or villa by the harbour, with no other passengers on board.
How do you get from Lanzarote Airport to Puerto Calero?
The car heads west on the LZ-2, the island's main southern road, and passes the exits for Puerto del Carmen instead of driving along that resort's seafront. Beyond them a side road turns off towards the coast and descends through dark lava fields to the harbour.
It is a straightforward drive on good roads, with no tolls. Because the village sits below the main road, you only see the marina and the masts once you are almost there.
A marina village rather than a beach resort
Puerto Calero belongs to the municipality of Yaiza and grew around a marina that opened in the mid-1980s. Today the harbour holds several hundred berths, including space for large yachts, and the quayside is lined with restaurants, cafés and small shops.
The atmosphere is quieter and more upmarket than in neighbouring Puerto del Carmen. There is no long sandy beach in the village itself; guests come for the harbour setting, boat trips and calm evenings by the water. A coastal footpath links it with Puerto del Carmen for those who want livelier streets within walking distance.
Who chooses Puerto Calero
- Sailors and yacht crews
- Crews joining a boat often arrive with duffel bags and provisions. Mention the berth or the marina office as the drop-off so the driver stops as close to the pontoons as cars are allowed.
- Boat-trip and excursion fans
- Catamaran cruises and a tourist submarine leave from the harbour, so many day trips start right outside the door.
- Couples and villa guests
- Holiday homes on the slopes above the marina are popular for longer winter stays. Give the full street address, as the residential roads are not signposted from the main road.

Can we be dropped at our yacht in the marina?

We are bringing a lot of sailing gear. Which vehicle should we book?
Large kit bags, provisions or several suitcases fit better in a minivan. Declare the luggage when booking so a vehicle with enough room is sent.
