The fabulous Puerto Calero Marina was one man’s dream come true. José Calero, known as Pepe, first dreamed of building a Marina that was the last word in luxury more than thirty years ago, and he chose the site between Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca as the ideal place for it. His Marina opened in 1989, and ten years later doubled in size.
Today it has 450 berths, some big enough for 75 metre super yachts, some of the world’s most opulent vessels have moored here over the years. Who needs James Bond? If you love looking at fabulous yachts in the sunshine whilst dining in style, followed by browsing the finest designer shops, Puerto Calero is worth a visit.
Puerto Calero
Marina
Puerto Calero is all about the Marina; a small number of luxury hotels; boutique shops; waterfront restaurants. Puerto Calero is on the outskirts of the dynamic town of Puerto del Carmen with its interesting shops, three impressive Blue Flag beaches, harbour, restaurants and famous nightlife just a short cab ride away.
You are a forty-minute bus ride away from the island’s cosmopolitan capital, Arrecife, where half the population of Lanzarote live. The name of the town (meaning reef) refers to the remarkable coastline, studded with reefs, islets and little natural harbours. The town has an attractive central sandy beach, and a long, inviting promenade.
