the hidden gem of Lanzarote

Charco del Palo

Charco del Palo is located on the rugged northeast coast of Lanzarote and offers a unique and special experience for nature lovers and those seeking peace. This small, charming village is situated right by the sea, but it doesn’t have a traditional sandy beach. Instead, there’s a staircase providing access to the ocean, as well as two beautiful natural swimming pools. In the protected bays, visitors can enjoy swimming and sunbathing while soaking in the refreshing waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The village is surrounded by volcanic landscapes and vast dunes, adding to the unique atmosphere of Charco del Palo. The village is naturist-friendly, and this acceptance creates a relaxed and free atmosphere that is felt everywhere. For daily necessities, visitors can head to the Centro Comercial, where clothing is required. Here, you’ll find a small, well-stocked supermarket, a massage practice, a tapas bar, a café, and a service point: Goodtime Girls. Charco del Palo is somewhat remote, so for those wanting to explore the island, renting a car is recommended. The village is 21 km, or about a 30-minute drive, from the airport. Free parking is available in the village and for the apartments.

Charco del Palo is a unique place on the island of Lanzarote, where nature and the freedom of nudism go hand in hand. This special village is the only one on the island fully accepted as a naturist destination. Here, you can enjoy life in complete freedom and peace, without clothing, in the midst of pristine nature.

It is a place where you can truly be yourself, in an environment that is respectful and open, with nature in its purest form at the center.

The village has a peaceful atmosphere and offers various opportunities to enjoy the sun, the sea, and the landscape, all without the barriers of clothing. Whether you want to hike, swim, or simply relax, Charco del Palo provides the ideal setting to connect with yourself and the nature around you.
