Learn to surf in the crystal clear warm waters of Lanzarote

Join a Finca Malvasia surf lesson

While staying with us, why not spent a few days getting to grips with surfing Atlantic swells.

Lanzarote has a wealth of options for surfing from pure beginner to expert. We're surrounded by beach breaks and reef breaks offering up gentle long boarding waves to gnarly hollow reef breaks for some tube time. As well as stand up surfing, you can also get involved in bodyboarding, stand up paddle (SUP) and the new kid on the block is wing foiling.

Paul, our surf coaching partner, is an expert in getting beginners to progress from just standing up to trimming an unbroken wave like a pro. Lessons take place at the stunning Famara beach, home to the small surf town of Caleta De Famara and just 10 minutes from Finca Malvasia.

The Influence of César Manrique at Finca Malvasia

by Richard Norse Evans • 25 June 2026

No individual has shaped the character of Lanzarote more than César Manrique. His vision was simple yet revolutionary: architecture should never compete with nature, but exist in harmony with it. Across the island, his influence can be seen in the whitewashed buildings, natural materials, volcanic stone and thoughtful integration of architecture into the landscape. His work helped preserve Lanzarote’s unique identity and established a legacy of sustainable design that continues to inspire today. Finca Malvasia shares this philosophy. The estate is a traditional Lanzarote finca, thoughtfully restored to celebrate its heritage while offering contemporary comfort. White walls, timber, volcanic stone and large picture windows reflect the island’s architectural language, allowing the surrounding vineyards and dramatic volcanic landscape to take centre stage. Adding to its unique story, the restoration and architectural vision for Finca Malvasia was guided by an architect who connected to César Manrique, bringing his principles of simplicity, authenticity and respect for place into every detail of the estate. Today, staying at Finca Malvasia is about more than beautiful accommodation. It is an opportunity to experience a piece of Lanzarote’s architectural and cultural heritage—where design, landscape and history come together in one of the island’s most remarkable settings.
