It\u2019s all good-natured fun and even the pilot wishes Jack the best in married life, but I wonder if Michael Palin et al have a point in nicknaming our destination Lanza-grotty.<\/p>\n<p>An hour later, all is serene at Secrets Lanzarote at Puerto Calero in the south-east of the island. At the Preferred club\u2019s pool bar, soft music plays as a breeze stirs the palm trees and my friend and I tuck into a seafood lunch. It\u2019s warm, even out of season \u2014 year-round temperatures are in the 20s.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the kind of all-inclusive where guests wear a wrist band and mop up free booze at the eternal buffet. There\u2019s an Italian restaurant, a grill and a seafood joint on the beach, along with an excellent sushi bar. And while Secrets has 335 rooms, it doesn\u2019t feel anything like that size; it\u2019s limited to just four gleaming white storeys, stepped into the hillside.<\/p>\n<p>Lanzarote\u2019s most famous son, C\u00e9sar Manrique, was responsible for this regulation, which with many others helps retain the island\u2019s wild natural beauty.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/18\/09\/75500003-12525473-Leading_the_way_Jane_Knight_stays_at_the_all_inclusive_Secrets_L-a-4_1695024729524.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"633\"><\/p>\n<p>Leading the way: Jane Knight stays at the all-inclusive Secrets Lanzarote hotel, which lies in the south-east of Lanzarote<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/18\/09\/75547647-12525473-_This_is_not_the_kind_of_all_inclusive_where_guests_wear_a_wrist-a-5_1695024745787.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This is not the kind of all-inclusive where guests wear a wrist band and mop up free booze at the eternal buffet,&#8217; says Jane\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We hire a car for just \u20ac35 for the day, driving through stark volcanic scenery where vines are afforded protection from the wind by quaint half-moon dry stone walls.<\/p>\n<p>It feels about as far as you can get from tacky Tenerife or a conglomeration on the Costas. In fact, it was after seeing the effect of mass tourism in Spain in the 1960s that Manrique instigated Lanzarote\u2019s protective laws.<\/p>\n<p>All buildings must be painted white, only differing in the colour of their trim \u2014 blue at the coast, green in the interior. Set against the dark volcanic soil, they look like sugar cubes. Manrique used this landscape as his canvas to craft gardens, attractions and lookouts, making Lanzarote more like a vast open-air gallery.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/16\/13\/75500007-12525473-Above_is_a_sign_for_Timanfaya_park-a-1_1694866022402.jpg\" height=\"404\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The island\u2019s volcanic past can be seen at the Timanfaya National Park, named after one of the villages that was buried by the angry outpouring of the Montanas del Fuego (fire mountains) in 1730\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We head north to probably the most famous of the artist and architect\u2019s sites, Jameos del Agua. This subterranean restaurant and concert venue was sculpted by Manrique from a lava tube formed thousands of years ago when La Corona volcano erupted into the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s eerily atmospheric sitting in a huge cavern by the lakeside at the bottom of a flight of rocky lava stairs; I only wish I could have attended a concert there.<\/p>\n<p>More of the island\u2019s volcanic past can be seen at the Timanfaya National Park, named after one of the villages that was buried by the angry outpouring of the Monta\u00f1as del Fuego (fire mountains) in 1730.

Back at the hotel, there\u2019s the chance to cool off in a handful of pools. As it\u2019s adults only, they\u2019re all calm, although there are activities at set times in the main pool, including aqua aerobics or yoga on a paddle board. Instead I opt for yoga on land before visiting the hydrotherapy circuit in the spa.<\/p>\n<p>We intersperse our pool time with a couple of other small forays out of the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>A 15-minute walk takes us to the chi-chi marina of Puerto Calero with its posh shops, gin palaces and people watching. A 50-minute hike along the nibbled cliff in the other direction leads to Playa Quemada, with its black sandy beaches and seafood restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good distance to work up an appetite for dinner at the hotel\u2019s sushi bar. In fact, we enjoy the made-to-order sushi so much we order another batch, accompanying it with a deliciously dry ros\u00e9. The bill? Nada \u2014 it\u2019s all included. \u2018I think we\u2019ve just eaten the best part of \u20ac100 of sushi each,\u2019 my friend sighs. We both agree that Jack the lad can\u2019t possibly be enjoying himself this much.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/travel\/article-12525473\/Chic-adults-inclusive-Lanzarote-spain-autumn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Head for this chic, adults-only all-inclusive in Lanzarote and you&#8217;ll be sure to have&#8230;
