Charco del Palo

A small holiday settlement has been established since the early seventies in the north-east of Lanzarote, directly situated on the rocky lava coast. In the very beginning it was only a handful of apartments provided with own water and electricity and only to be reached by the old famous dirt roads of Lanzarote. Remembering this time and its pioneering spirit some of our guests can still tell a lot of enthusiastical stories.

Castillo de Papagayo

By the time the settlement has developed into a small village and today there is a still manageable size of apartments and bungalows, which offer all holiday amenities. Only Castillo de Papagayo S.L. stayed the same throughout all those 30 years - as a reliable and competent partner in the arrangement of your holiday domicile. As we have played a decisive role in the foundation and development of the village, to many people our name - Castillo de Papagayo - has become synonymous for this absolutely beautiful village.

Naturism

From the beginning Charco del Palo was thought to be a naturist place and therefore one can be naked on all the beaches and on the own terraces and in the apartment complexes. But in the meantime it is custom to enter the restaurants and shops dressed.

Directly situated on the coast we do not have any sandy beaches. The coast is mostly formed by lava rocks where on some days you can enjoy the breakers as an overwhelming act of nature. But we do have three wonderful, differing places where you can either swim in the sea or in a natural sheltered tidal basin which is always filled with fresh water by high tide and low tide, or in a nature-pool which as well allows very untrained people to have a swim.
