    We were there once in September, the wind was very strong. It was blowing over everything around the pool.

    Going to the other end of the island this year. For the last few years we have been going to Taurito in Gran Canaria, absolutely no issues with the wind there.

    We always stay in playa blanca in lanzarote. Its not normally as windy as teguise. But this Xmas it was extremely windy, it felt gale force at times,lol.
  • Costa Teguise is the windiest of the resorts. The last week in April last year was windy all over the island, but it was a cool wind and it was chilly in the evenings.

    Try a different resort. We spend 4 weeks a year in Playa Blanca, and have been there most months. Never really had problems with the wind, but it can get strong occasionally. The only time it was really strong was during a calima one July. It even blew sunbeds into the pool.

    Generally the wind is very welcome. It can border on unbearable in the summer without it.

    I also would go for the delightful Playa Blanca, could do with a week there right now, great resort, lovely sea front walk and beach, pretty good choice of restaurants.

    Snap! We leave on Sunday for Plays Blanca. We were there the same time last year. It was breezy which made the mornings on the cool side. Ideal for walking and a exploring though.
