Charco del Palo

Charco del Palo is a coastal settlement on the northeastern shore of Lanzarote, stretching along rocky formations shaped by volcanic activity. The village features natural pools and numerous residential properties that owners rent to visitors.

A German entrepreneur founded this settlement in 1970, creating the first officially authorized naturist community in the Canary Islands. This founding made it a pioneer of organized naturism in Spain.

The settlement operates on naturist principles where visitors and residents practice nudity across all public spaces including restaurants and recreational areas. This lifestyle shapes daily interactions and creates an open, relaxed community atmosphere.

Visitors find a range of accommodations from apartments to villas, mostly rented by owners when not in residence. The location is accessible via the coastal road and offers access to three distinct bathing areas.

The settlement features three distinct bathing areas where natural pools change water levels with tides or provide access to open sea. These varied water access points create different experiences depending on timing.
