Rooms

The master bedroom has sleek Lanzarote styling - whitewashed walls dotted with black volcanic rocks - plus blue ceiling beams and green timber doors. There’s plenty of wardrobe space and a digital safe. The second bedroom has a double bed that has to be clambered onto as there’s no surrounding floor space. It’s probably too confined for another adult couple but kids would find it fun (so long as they're happy to share a bed). The shared bathroom has a skylight and a walk-in shower.

The bright, open-plan living area offers ocean views through patio doors and has mood lighting, a high-quality sound system and an interesting collection of coffee-table books. The chunky round dining table with Charles Bentley cone chairs is just big enough to seat 4. We particularly liked the fully integrated kitchen with its designer cutlery and crockery.

Outside, an impressive patio and cacti-studded garden provide a covered outdoor dining area, a volcanic stone shower (also with mood lighting!) and a bath tub sunken into a gleaming white sundeck with views of the ocean and cliffs.

Features include:

• Hairdryer
• In-room treatments available
• Safe box
• Washing machine
• WiFi

Eating

The modern kitchen is well-equipped with everything you'd need to whip up a feast. Basic ingredients are provided (tea, coffee, etc) plus there's an honesty bar (Luc can stock you up with beer, wines and spirits; just request in advance). We loved eating out on the terrace with its stunning sea views, or you can retreat indoors if it gets chilly.

A short drive away (or 20-minute walk along the beach), La Caleta de Famara is a traditional Spanish fishing village with a small supermarket, a great oceanfront seafood restaurant (El Risco) their new sister restaurant Dunas de Tamara, and a handful of casual eateries. Families will like La Bartola pizzeria, and Sol, which has a terrace on the sand. Luc will gladly make reservations on your behalf.

Features include:

• Coffee maker
• Fridge
• Restaurants nearby
• Basic ingredients

Activities

• This is a perfect spot for extreme chilling. Otherwise...
  
• Surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing are 3 mins' walk away; there are various surf schools and outlets for hiring equipment
  
• Families will enjoy Playa de las Cucharas in Costa Teguise (30km), which has golden sand and shallow water
  
• Luc can organise bike rental so you can explore the island on 2 wheels
  
• Hike across the lunar landscape of Timanfaya National Park, created by volcanic activity (30km away)
  
• Sample local wines in the nearby wine region La Geria; take a vineyard tour to learn about the unusual practices involved in growing vines in a seemingly inhospitable terrain

Kids

Children are welcome and Luc will provide toys and games. Bear in mind there can be dangerous rip currents off Famara Beach and swimming/bathing is not advised. If you've got young children, it's worth driving to Costa Teguise where the beaches have have fine golden sand shelving gently into the sea and plenty of family-friendly facilities.
