Updated in 2026. Lago Martiánez is one of the most convenient places to swim in Puerto de la Cruz when you want the sea, sunshine, salt-water pools and services without depending so heavily on the swell along the north coast. It is tourist-oriented, certainly, but also very practical: enter, choose an area, put down your towel and spend several hours without complications.
This guide brings together the essential information for organising a visit in 2026: prices, opening hours, what admission includes, whether it is worthwhile with children, where to park and realistic advice so that you do not arrive late, weighed down with useless belongings or holding the wrong expectations.

What is Lago Martiánez?
Lago Martiánez forms part of the Costa Martiánez Tourist Complex in Puerto de la Cruz. It is a collection of salt-water pools, sun terraces, landscaped areas, sculptures, bars and rest areas beside the Atlantic. It does not replace a wild beach; it offers something different: convenience, design, views and easy swimming.
It is a good option if the sea in the north is rough, if you are travelling with children, if you want to spend several hours without moving around too much or if you are staying in Puerto de la Cruz and want a pool plan with a holiday atmosphere.

Is Lago Martiánez worth visiting?
Yes, if you want a convenient day in Puerto de la Cruz. It is particularly worthwhile when the sea is rough, when you are travelling with children, when you want a sunbed and services, or when you feel like resting without worrying about sand, waves and beach parking.
I would not choose it if you want wild nature or a quiet cove without people. There are other options for that. Lago Martiánez is instead a practical classic: you pay admission, have services and enjoy the day without too many variables.
Tips for visiting Lago Martiánez
- Arrive early. On hot days and during high season, it is pleasant to choose your place calmly.
- Take sun protection. Many areas are open to the sun.
- Do not assume you can freely bring in food. The official website states that food may not be brought into the complex.
- Check maintenance and opening hours. Occasional changes can occur.
- If you are with children, agree on a meeting point. The complex is large, and clear landmarks are helpful.
- Do not leave it until closing time. Arriving with time to spare is more worthwhile than paying to rush around for one hour.
Where to park near Lago Martiánez
If you travel by car, parking in Puerto de la Cruz can be tiresome during the middle of the day. The most convenient option is usually to find a nearby car park or park a little farther away and walk. The official Lago Martiánez website provides specific information about nearby parking.
