Royal Residence of La Mareta, Royal palace in Costa Teguise, Lanzarote, Spain

La Mareta stands near the coast with white walls and large windows, designed by architect César Manrique to integrate with the surrounding landscape.

King Hussein of Jordan commissioned the construction of this residence in the late 1970s before transferring its ownership to King Juan Carlos I in 1989.

The residence opened its doors to the public for the first time in November 2018 during the 600th anniversary celebration of Teguise's foundation.

The property functions as an official vacation residence for Spanish prime ministers and receives international dignitaries throughout the year.

The palace takes its name from an ancient cistern that collected rainwater and served as a drinking spot for animals in the area.
