The designer has revealed her favourite spot on the island, a pristine jewel of six kilometres of golden sand where stress disappears.
Designer Vicky Martín Berrocal has focused on a destination that is already her best-kept secret in Lanzarote: Famara beach. On her social media, the woman from Huelva has shared images of this enclave in the northwest of the island, describing it as a place where "stress does not exist here". The post has generated a flood of reactions among her followers, many of whom are already planning to visit this volcanic paradise.
Famara is not an ordinary beach. With six kilometres of golden sand washed by the Atlantic, it lacks hotel complexes and sun loungers. Its main hallmark is the Famara cliff, a wall nearly 700 metres high that changes colour at sunset. The constant wind makes it a sanctuary for surfers, whose silhouettes stand out against the horizon.
The beach, however, requires caution. The currents can be strong, so swimming should be done close to the shore and under supervision. Local sources warn that safety is a priority in such a wild environment.
Just a few steps from the sand is Caleta de Famara, a fishing village that retains the charm of yesteryear. Its streets are sandy, and the whitewashed houses with blue or green doors evoke the most authentic Lanzarote. Traditional fishing boats rest on the shore, offering a scene that transports you to another time.
Cuisine is another of the attractions. The Chiringuito de Famara, on the main street, is famous for its grilled fresh fish of the day and its seafood rice dishes, at affordable prices. For a more exclusive experience, the Dunas de Famara restaurant offers high-end Canarian cuisine, with dishes like coastal noodles or the fish of the day. Dining on its terrace, with the mirror effect of the water at sunset, is a luxury for the senses.
The surroundings also invite exploration. A fifteen-minute drive away is Teguise, a historic village with cobbled streets and colonial architecture. If the visit coincides with the traditional market, the experience is complete. The Risco viewpoint offers a spectacular panorama that includes the silhouette of La Graciosa.
However, the influx of visitors is limited by environmental protection. Accommodations in Caleta de Famara are scarce, so planning the visit in advance is recommended. This balance between conservation and tourism is key to maintaining the essence of the place.
Vicky Martín Berrocal's choice does not surprise those who know the island. Lanzarote, with its volcanic landscape and pristine beaches, has been a destination for celebrities seeking disconnection for years. Famara, in particular, offers that refuge away from asphalt and crowds.
For the Canarians, this beach is a local pride. Its natural and scenic value makes it a treasure they share with caution. The designer's visit only reaffirms a corner that many consider the best-kept secret of the archipelago.
