Parque Marítimo César Manrique - Essential Visitor Info

Parque Marítimo César Manrique runs on two seasonal schedules.

The summer schedule for 2026 began on June 13 and runs with the park open from 10:00 to 19:00, though the pools themselves close earlier, at 18:45, giving you a 15-minute window to dry off and head out after your last swim.

The winter schedule then takes over from September 9, 2026 through June 19, 2027, with the park open from 10:00 to 18:00 and the pools closing at 17:45.

Why Visit Parque Marítimo César Manrique?

César Manrique's final work

Parque Marítimo César Manrique was the last project the celebrated Lanzarote-born artist completed before his death, opening in 1995. His signature style runs through the whole site, from black volcanic rock to his trademark wind toys, making a visit as much about seeing his design language as it is about the pools.

Three saltwater pools built into the coastline

The complex holds three separate pools filled with crystal-clear seawater, including a main pool with artificial islands and a waterfall pool fed by cascades falling from more than 25 meters up. It's a different feel from a standard swimming pool, closer to a designed lagoon.

Right on the Santa Cruz waterfront

The park sits on the city's southern coast with views over the Auditorio de Tenerife and the Palmetum botanical garden next door, and it's easy to reach by car or public transport with parking on-site. That makes it simple to fold into a wider day of sightseeing in the capital.

Genuinely set up for families

Between the children's pool, the ludoteca playroom, and the seasonal Club de Manri programme of games, minigolf, and water and land "castles" for kids aged 3 to 13, there's structured entertainment for younger visitors, not just a paddling area.

Built for a full day out, not just a swim

Between the sunbed and umbrella rental, changing rooms and showers, gym, restaurant and buffet options, and a small shop for last-minute essentials, most of what you'd want for a day at the park is available on-site.

César Manrique Maritime Park - Additional Info

Dining at the park spans a range of options rather than a single restaurant. There are casual counters serving burgers, sandwiches, and hot dogs, alongside options that go up to a full à la carte menu for those wanting a proper sit-down meal.

There's also a buffet service offering individual, family, and children's menus, which suits groups or families who want more variety without ordering separately. Between the casual and buffet options, most visitors should find something that fits whether they're stopping for a quick bite or settling in for longer.
