Lanzarote: Sabbia Suites Ocean Blue: Where the Volcanic Beauty Meets Luxury

There are destinations that promise paradise, and then there are places that redefine what paradise means. My recent stay at Sabbia Suites Ocean Blue View in Lanzarote falls firmly into the latter category. Perched along one of the Canary Islands’ most dramatic coastlines, this boutique property offers something increasingly rare in today’s world of travel: an experience that feels both deeply personal and utterly luxurious.

First Impressions: A Volcanic Welcome

Arriving at Sabbia Suites, I was immediately struck by how the architecture pays homage to Lanzarote’s unique landscape. The whitewashed walls—a signature of local design—contrast beautifully against the island’s black volcanic rock and the endless azure of the Atlantic. The name « Ocean Blue View » isn’t marketing hyperbole; it’s a promise delivered from the moment you step through the entrance.

The check-in process was seamless, with staff who seemed genuinely excited to share their island home with visitors. Within minutes, I was in my suite, catching glimpses of the ocean between thoughtfully placed palms and indigenous succulents.

The Suite Life: Where Design Meets Comfort

My Ocean Blue View suite was a masterclass in contemporary island design. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the Atlantic like a living painting, while the interior struck that perfect balance between minimalist aesthetics and warm comfort. The color palette—soft whites and natural woods, echoed the landscape outside without competing with it.

The spacious layout included a fully equipped kitchenette (perfect for preparing breakfast with local ingredients from the nearby markets), a comfortable living area, and a bedroom that felt like a serene sanctuary. But the real star? The private terrace. I spent countless hours here, watching the sun paint the sky in impossible colors, listening to the waves crash against the volcanic shore below.

Location: The Best of Lanzarote at Your Doorstep

One of Sabbia Suites’ greatest assets is its location. You’re close enough to explore Lanzarote’s incredible attractions—the otherworldly Timanfaya National Park, César Manrique’s artistic legacy, and the famous wine region of La Geria—yet far enough removed to enjoy genuine tranquility.

The nearby beaches offer everything from surfing opportunities to secluded coves perfect for snorkeling. I particularly enjoyed the short drive to Playa Blanca, where waterfront restaurants serve the freshest seafood I’ve had in years.

The Lanzarote Experience

What makes Sabbia Suites truly special is how it enhances the Lanzarote experience rather than isolating you from it. The volcanic landscape, the dramatic coastline, the unique local culture—everything feels accessible yet you always have your peaceful retreat to return to.

I spent my days exploring: hiking through lunar-like volcanic fields, visiting wineries where grapes grow in volcanic ash, and discovering hidden beaches where black sand meets turquoise water. Each evening, I’d return to my suite, pour a glass of local Malvasía wine, and watch the sunset from my terrace, already planning the next day’s adventure.

Practical Details Worth Knowing

For fellow travelers planning their visit:

Best time to visit: Lanzarote enjoys year-round sunshine, but I found late spring and early fall ideal—warm but not too hot, with fewer crowds.

Getting around: Car rental is highly recommended. The island is compact and easy to navigate, and having your own wheels opens up countless exploration opportunities.

Dining: While the kitchenette is perfect for simple meals, don’t miss the local restaurant scene. Ask the staff for recommendations—they know all the hidden gems.

Booking tips: Book directly when possible and consider staying at least 4-5 nights to truly unwind and explore the island properly.
