Lanzarote’s Cannabis Social Clubs: Costa Teguise & Puerto del Carmen Guide

If you’re after a cannabis social club Lanzarote visitors can join without a local connection, the scene here is concentrated in two main resort hubs, Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen, with a smaller presence in the capital, Arrecife.

Cannabis Social Club Lanzarote: How Membership Works

As everywhere in Spain, clubs operate as private non-profit associations — legally, Asociaciones Cannábicas, or clubes cannábicos — rather than shops, see our full guide to Spanish cannabis law for the legal background. In practice, joining means:

• Meeting the minimum age requirement (18+, sometimes higher)
• Bringing valid ID — a passport works for international visitors
• Getting a referral from a current member, or applying directly to the club
• Waiting for the club to approve your application before you can visit

A Faster Way In: Green-Key

Because approval isn’t guaranteed and can take time, many visitors on short trips use the Green-Key Cannabis Club Membership Pass instead — access is pre-confirmed with partner clubs across Lanzarote before you arrive.

Club Etiquette

• Photography is typically not allowed inside — check with staff first
• Product stays with members — don’t buy on behalf of friends outside the club
• Most clubs cap how much you can access per visit or per month
• Carry cash, since card payments aren’t guaranteed everywhere

Getting Around Lanzarote

Lanzarote is a small, easy island to get around — Costa Teguise, Arrecife and Puerto del Carmen are all within a 20–30 minute drive of each other. Intercity Bus Lanzarote runs Line 3 directly between Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen via Arrecife several times a day, but a rental car or taxi is the simplest way to combine more than one area in a day, especially outside daytime hours when services thin out.

Finding Clubs Across Lanzarote

See the full Lanzarote cannabis social club directory, or go straight to your area:

• Puerto del Carmen — Lanzarote’s busiest tourist strip, and the island’s biggest concentration of clubs
• Costa Teguise — quieter resort area on the east coast — see our dedicated Puerto del Carmen & Costa Teguise guide
• Arrecife — the island’s capital

The interactive map lets you filter by opening hours and rating across the whole island. Background on the island itself is on Wikipedia.

Arriving in Lanzarote

Lanzarote Airport (ACE) sits just outside Arrecife, roughly 10 minutes from Costa Teguise and 20 minutes from Puerto del Carmen by taxi. Most visitors arrange a rental car at the airport itself, which is generally the easiest way to reach either resort if you’re landing outside daytime bus hours.

FAQ

Is cannabis legal in Lanzarote?

Not for public sale or public use. Spain — Lanzarote included — decriminalises private cultivation and consumption within closed, non-profit Cannabis Social Clubs, but there are no dispensaries, and possession or consumption in public remains a finable offence. See our full Spain cannabis law guide for the complete legal picture.

Which resort has more clubs, Costa Teguise or Puerto del Carmen?

Puerto del Carmen has the larger scene as Lanzarote’s main tourist hub, but both areas have active, welcoming clubs.

Can I visit a club for just a day trip?

Membership doesn’t require residency, but a same-day walk-in without prior approval is unlikely to work. Pre-arranging access, whether through a club directly or via Green-Key, is the reliable option for short stays.

Are there clubs in Arrecife itself?

Yes, though the scene is smaller than in the resort areas — check the full directory for current listings.

How do I get from the airport to Costa Teguise or Puerto del Carmen?

Both resorts are a short taxi ride from Lanzarote Airport (ACE) — around 10 minutes to Costa Teguise and 20 minutes to Puerto del Carmen. Renting a car at the airport is worth considering if you plan to visit clubs in more than one area during your stay.

What currency and language should I expect?

Euros are standard everywhere, and while Spanish is the local language, both Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen see enough international visitors that English is widely understood at most clubs.

A few more members join in the winter months too, when Lanzarote sees a wave of longer-staying visitors escaping colder climates back home.
