Best Supermarkets in Playa Blanca
HiperDino: Variety, Value and a Central Location
In the centre of Playa Blanca, right along the seafront, you’ll find HiperDino, located on the Paseo Marítimo LASAL. This open area with ocean views is where some of the best shops in Playa Blanca are concentrated.
Here, you can do a full shop and choose from a wide variety of products such as meats, drinks, snacks, baked goods, toiletries, cleaning products and much more.
SuperDino: Next to the Bus Station and Convenient for Quick Shops
SuperDino is a smaller version of the HiperDino chain, with fewer products and a more compact space — but it’s very well located at Avenida de Canarias s/n, C/ Corralillo, basement floor, 35580, Yaiza. It’s perfect for quick shopping trips, such as picking up bottled water if you’re unsure about drinking the tap water in Lanzarote. It offers parking, and you can also request home delivery for added convenience.
SPAR Aljibes: Local Products, Improved Deli Section and a Refurbished Store
SPAR is one of the largest food retail groups in Lanzarote and works with local distributors and suppliers. At this branch, you’ll find a wide range of products, good value for money and excellent customer service — all in a newly refurbished shop that’s ideal for families. In Playa Blanca, the store is located at Calle Limones, 3, Yaiza, Las Palmas.
Overseas British Supermarket: British Products for Tourists
On Calle Las Palmas, no. 8, local 1, 35580 — near Avenida Papagayo — you’ll find a small supermarket from the British Overseas chain. It stocks well-known brands imported from the UK, such as Iceland and Waitrose. While prices may be slightly higher than local alternatives, you’ll enjoy browsing and picking up a few familiar favourites while taking a stroll through the area.
ALDI Yaiza (Playa Blanca): New, Spacious and Focused on Local Products
This Spanish supermarket chain has a large store offering a wide range of products of very good quality at the best prices, with a particular emphasis on locally made goods. ALDI also promotes sustainability and healthy lifestyles, offering many ECO-certified products.
Recommended Areas to Shop Based on Where You’re Staying
Town Centre and Seafront
Whether you’re staying in the town centre, near the seafront promenade, or just visiting the area for a beach day, you’ll find several shops nearby. HiperDino Express and SPAR are both close at hand for quick, easy shopping without hassle.
Marina Rubicón and Avenida Papagayo
If your accommodation is near Marina Rubicón or Avenida Papagayo, you’ll also find plenty of supermarket options. There’s a HiperDino in the El Pueblo Shopping Centre, located at Marina Rubicón, and also the Overseas British Supermarket on Avenida Papagayo. Both stock a range of products that will meet your basic and more specific needs.
Montaña Roja
In Montaña Roja, there are fewer supermarket options compared to other areas of Playa Blanca. However, you’ll still find SPAR Aljibes nearby, which offers a good variety of local products. If you’ve hired a car, it’s easy to drive over to Yaiza and shop at Mercadona, which offers free parking and is one of the most affordable supermarkets on the island.
Useful Services and Convenience for Travellers
Free Parking and Accessibility
Most supermarkets in Playa Blanca offer free parking, which is ideal if you’ve rented a car for your holiday. You’ll find parking at places like SuperDino, El Pueblo Shopping Centre, and Mercadona. Additionally, these shops are generally wheelchair accessible and cater to people with reduced mobility.
Home Delivery and Online Shopping
If you’d rather shop from the comfort of your hotel or holiday accommodation — or if you don’t have transport — some supermarkets also offer online shopping with home delivery. For example, HiperDino provides this option through its website.
Extended Opening Hours in Summer and Sunday Opening
Supermarkets in Lanzarote usually open from 08:00 to 21:00 or 22:00, Monday to Saturday. On Sundays, they are generally open from 09:00 to 14:00. However, during the high season, you might find shops like SPAR with extended hours — even on Sundays.
Quick Tips for Smart Shopping
Avoid Queues – When to Shop
Peak hours are typically in the afternoon. For a more relaxed experience, do your shopping in the morning — the best time is between 08:00 and 10:00. Alternatively, shopping after 19:00 can also be quieter.
Keep in mind that weekends tend to be much busier than weekdays.
Best Prices and Local Products Available
Those familiar with the cost of living in Lanzarote know you can find good deals at the local markets at Marina Rubicón on Wednesdays and Saturdays, where vendors offer local, fresh and affordable products.
Supermarkets like HiperDino also release weekly flyers with promotions, which are great for saving money during your stay.
