Lanzarote Airport is close to Arrecife and Puerto del Carmen, but reaching Playa Blanca or Costa Teguise requires a different plan. Direct intercity buses cover several popular routes, while a taxi, rental car or pre-booked transfer can be more practical for late arrivals, family luggage and accommodation away from the main stops.
| Option | Best for | Check before choosing |
|---|---|---|
| Private transfer | Families, groups, late arrivals and direct resort drop-off | Book ahead and confirm the address, vehicle capacity and luggage allowance |
| Official airport taxi | Travellers who want to leave immediately without pre-booking | The metered fare depends on distance, time and applicable supplements |
| Intercity bus | Solo travellers and couples staying near a direct route | Some resorts require a change or onward walk, and service windows vary |
| Rental car | Visitors planning to explore Timanfaya, La Geria and the island independently | Allow time for collection and check parking at your accommodation |

Lanzarote
Pre-book a private vehicle from Lanzarote Airport (ACE) to your accommodation, with the route and pickup arranged before arrival.
Puerto del Carmen has one of the simplest resort connections from the airport. Line 161 serves the resort on its route towards Playa Blanca, with additional late services on lines 61 and 162 at the times listed by Aena. Check the stop nearest your accommodation: a private transfer or taxi may still be easier for villas, substantial luggage or a late flight.
Line 161 connects the airport with Playa Blanca via Puerto del Carmen, Puerto Calero and Yaiza. Because Playa Blanca is farther south, compare the complete bus journey and final walk with a direct vehicle. Aena also lists specific later departures on lines 61 and 162, but these are limited services rather than an all-night frequency.
Aena does not list a direct airport-to-Costa Teguise line on its airport bus page. The public-transport journey normally involves travelling towards Arrecife and changing to an onward service, so verify both legs on the current IntercityBus timetable. A taxi or pre-booked transfer avoids the connection.
Line 22 links the airport and Arrecife on working weekdays, while line 23 covers the airport, Arrecife and Playa Honda at weekends. Aena describes these as short journeys, but their frequencies differ. Check which line applies on your arrival day and whether the final city stop is convenient for your accommodation.
The standard resort line does not run throughout the night. Aena lists one later line 61 departure and two line 162 departures towards Playa Blanca, but exact times and operating conditions can change. Confirm the current timetable for your travel date; otherwise reserve a transfer or use the official taxi rank.
Provide the flight number and complete accommodation address, count passengers and every large bag, and request child seats or accessibility support before payment. Verify the pickup location, waiting-time policy, cancellation rules and destination zone on the partner checkout, then keep the confirmation accessible offline.
Compare the total duration, pickup location, included extras and available languages—not only the headline price. Open the experience page to check who it suits, then use the booking partner for live availability and the final total.
Availability and prices can change by date. Review the cancellation terms, meeting point and accessibility details on the partner site before payment. Some links are affiliate links, which may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.
Read our affiliate disclosureYes. Aena lists line 161 between the airport, Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca. Lines 61 and 162 provide additional limited late departures. Check the current timetable and your nearest stop before travelling.
Line 161 is the main direct public-bus route listed by Aena. A taxi or pre-booked transfer provides a direct hotel drop-off and may suit families, groups or arrivals outside the practical bus window.
Aena's airport page does not list a direct Costa Teguise route. The bus journey generally requires a change towards Arrecife, so confirm both services with IntercityBus or choose a direct taxi or transfer.
Line 22 operates the Arrecife-airport route on working weekdays, while line 23 serves Arrecife, the airport and Playa Honda at weekends. Always verify the timetable for the exact day.
It is most useful for late arrivals, families, groups, special luggage and accommodation requiring a bus change or long final walk. Confirm the vehicle, luggage capacity, extras and cancellation conditions before paying.
