Villa Quema | 4-Bedroom Villa in Tias Puerto del Carmen

Tías sits quietly on Lanzarote’s eastern coast, away from the clamour of mass tourism yet positioned perfectly for guests who want both tranquility and access to vibrant resort amenities. Villa Quema occupies a cul-de-sac position within the residential Los Mojones enclave, offering the kind of seclusion that families and friend groups actively seek—the sort of place where you can hear the Atlantic on certain wind directions but still walk to dinner within minutes. This luxury villa rental in Tías sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, each with private en-suite facilities and direct terrace access.

Inside Villa Quema

The villa’s floor plan rewards the way modern holiday groups actually live together: separately enough to have privacy, closely enough to congregate without effort. Villa Quema sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.

Ground Floor: An entrance hall flows into the beating heart of the property—a living room where high ceilings and an open layout create genuine breathing room. Substantial leather seating, a flat-screen television, DVD player, and iPod docking station occupy one zone; floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto the terrace where afternoon light floods in. A spiral staircase with metal railings climbs toward the roof terrace—note this if young children will be present, as the design requires attentiveness. The fully equipped kitchen features substantial bench and counter space, a centre island that doubles as informal breakfast seating, and appliances suited to preparing proper meals rather than just reheating takeaway. The dining table seats 8 comfortably. One bedroom occupies the ground floor with twin single beds, wall-mounted air conditioning, an en-suite shower room, and direct access to the elevated pool terrace—ideal for guests with mobility considerations or parents who want to monitor the pool area.

First Floor: Three additional bedrooms, each climate-controlled, each with private en-suite bathrooms and independent terrace access. The first contains twin single beds. Two further bedrooms each feature double beds. Every bedroom provides wardrobe storage scaled to actual holiday needs—not the symbolic shelving found in lesser properties.

Throughout: Air conditioning operates independently in each bedroom and living space. Washing machines, dishwashers, safety deposit boxes, hairdryers, and ironing facilities ensure the practical side of a week away doesn’t intrude on the enjoyment. A pool table provides evening entertainment when the weather turns.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The exterior at Villa Quema is where the property reveals its genuine strength. A substantial covered terrace—the kind of structure you’ll find yourself using even in the brightest midday heat—provides shaded outdoor dining. Garden furniture is substantial and comfortable rather than perfunctory. Steps descend to the heated pool terrace, which measures 9 metres by 4.5 metres with depth variation from 1.4 to 2.2 metres. Roman steps ease entry. The pool itself receives heating from November through April, extending the swimming season well beyond what outdoor air temperature might suggest. Sun loungers positioned around the pool area catch whatever breeze the location provides. A barbecue area occupies one corner of the grounds, allowing for evening cooking that feels like entertainment rather than labour. Off-street parking ensures guests aren’t hunting for spaces on neighbourhood streets. The small garden provides greenery and screens between this villa and its neighbours, creating genuine privacy despite the residential setting.

A roof terrace accessed via the spiral staircase within the living room offers panoramic perspective over Los Mojones and toward the Atlantic. The sunset colours here shift through unexpected shades—rust, amber, deep orange—before fading to deep blue. This is the space where guests congregate to debrief their day or simply exist in companionable silence.

Location: Tías and the Surrounding Area

Tías functions as Lanzarote’s gateway to Puerto del Carmen, positioned 3km inland from the main resort strip. This separation provides the quiet essential for genuine relaxation while keeping commercial services within immediate reach. Puerto del Carmen itself—2km southwest—developed from a fishing village into a cosmopolitan seaside town with infrastructure serving multiple generations and travel styles.

The primary beach, Playa de Puerto del Carmen, stretches for 2km with golden sand, lifeguard cover, and rental facilities for sunbeds and parasols. This is the Mediterranean-style beach experience: warm water from May through October, crowded on summer weekends, quieter in shoulder seasons. Just north, Playa Chica offers a more intimate cove environment with slightly rougher character. For something different, Playa Pozo offers sheltered swimming 4km south.

The Old Town of Puerto del Carmen—centred on Calle Varadero—contains the working harbour where fishing boats still operate. Restaurants here serve fresh seafood daily: try the gambas ajillo at Casa Africana or the pulpo a la gallega at El Navío. Market days (Thursday and Saturday mornings) at the Puerto del Carmen market bring local produce, crafts, and the rhythm of genuine island commerce. Supermarkets including Carrefour and local shops supply self-catering needs.

Three kilometres south, Puerto Calero marina offers a different character—sleeker yachts, upmarket restaurants with European pricing, and boat trip operators offering island tours and deep-sea fishing excursions. The taxi boat service connecting Puerto del Carmen to Puerto Calero operates hourly and costs €2 per journey—a scenic alternative to driving.

Parque Natural de Los Ajaches—8km south—protects the southern headland with walking trails, dramatic sea cliffs, and viewpoints toward Fuerteventura. Timanfaya National Park, 35km southwest, showcases Lanzarote’s volcanic geology through coach tours and the acclaimed El Diablo restaurant built atop geothermal vents. Arrecife, the island capital, lies 15km north with colonial architecture, museums, and the Castle of San Gabriel dominating the harbour. Canary Islander wine country around La Geria (25km south) produces surprisingly excellent reds and whites from volcanic soil vineyards; several offer visits and tastings.

Water activities cluster around Puerto del Carmen: windsurfing on Playa Pozo when Atlantic swells push in, diving operations accessing reefs 5-15 minutes by boat, and kayaking through calm inshore waters. Cycling routes follow coastal and inland terrain. Golf at Puerto del Carmen Golf Club (3km) occupies a 9-hole layout beside the marina development. Go-kart racing, mini-golf, bowling, and theme parks (Aqua Park, Rancho Texas) provide entertainment for groups with younger members.

Best visiting windows: April through June when temperatures hover around 22-25°C with minimal rain and before summer crowds intensify. September through November offers similar conditions after summer heats. Winter (December-February) brings mild daytime temperatures of 18-20°C with occasional rainfall, but pools remain heated and tourism densities drop significantly.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multi-generational families benefit from Villa Quema’s bedroom distribution—four separate sleeping spaces allow teenagers and grandparents to maintain independent schedules while still sharing meals and pool time. The ground-floor bedroom serves guests with mobility limitations or parents wanting proximity to young children.

Friend groups of 6-8 find the open-plan living and dining spaces encourage collective time while private en-suite bedrooms prevent the friction of shared bathrooms. The pool table, roof terrace, and barbecue area naturally distribute evening activity.

Professional couples or small families seeking genuine privacy will appreciate the cul-de-sac position and the distance from nightlife areas. This isn’t a party villa; it’s a place for actual rest.

Groups planning a cooking holiday will use the fully equipped kitchen genuinely—the island’s fresh seafood markets, local wines, and seasonal produce reward even amateur cooks. The dining table for eight and covered outdoor dining area make meals feel like social occasions.
