Cannabis Social Club Puerto del Carmen & Costa Teguise: A Visitor’s Guide
Puerto del Carmen is Lanzarote’s biggest tourist resort, and its cannabis social club scene is the deepest on the island — while Costa Teguise, a shorter drive north, offers a calmer alternative with clubs of its own. Same membership rules apply either way, since Spain doesn’t vary that by island or town.
Membership Comes First
Clubs here run as private, non-profit associations, not shops — see our cannabis law guide for the background. To join, you’ll need to:
- Be 18 or older (check each club’s specific minimum)
- Carry valid ID or a passport
- Get a referral from an existing member, or apply directly and wait for approval
- Wait for that approval before visiting — there’s no walk-in access anywhere in Spain
Guaranteed Access with Green-Key
Most Lanzarote trips are a single week, and a slow or rejected club application can eat into that fast. The Green-Key Cannabis Club Membership Pass pre-confirms your access with partner clubs across Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise before you travel.
Club Etiquette
- No photography inside without asking first
- Don’t buy on behalf of non-members — it’s against the association’s own rules
- Expect a member allocation limit rather than unrestricted access
- Cash is the safest payment method to bring
Puerto del Carmen vs. Costa Teguise
Puerto del Carmen is Lanzarote’s main resort strip, built along the Avenida de las Playas — miles of beachfront packed with bars, restaurants and the island’s biggest concentration of cannabis social clubs. Costa Teguise, a purpose-built resort town north of Arrecife, is quieter and more spread out, known locally for steady winds that make it a windsurfing spot as much as a beach one. If you want nightlife and choice, stay in Puerto del Carmen; if you want a calmer base with clubs still a short drive away, Costa Teguise works.
Getting Around
Puerto del Carmen itself is walkable — the resort strip runs along one road, and most clubs sit within a 15–20 minute walk of any hotel on it. Getting to Costa Teguise is a different matter: it’s roughly 25–30 minutes by car or bus, with Arrecidbus running local routes between the two via Arrecife, though a rental car is the easier option if you’re planning to visit clubs in both areas.
