A QUICK GUIDE TO THE CHIC SIDE OF LANZAROTE BY THE MID-60S, Lanzarote’s most famous native, the painter César Manrique, had made his name in New York and was mixing with titans of the art world including Warhol and Pollock. But disillusioned by the rat race of the Big Apple, he returned to the hauntingly beautiful volcanic island of his birth off the west coast of Africa. Horrifi ed by the government’s plans to destroy its dramatic landscapes with high-rise bucket-andspade beach resorts, he decided to dedicate the rest of his life to the sustainable development of his homeland. With a vision and passion that have made him a poster child for responsible tourism, he made sure that development was zoned and all buildings blended with the island’s white, cube-like vernacular style, with all electricity and telephone cables hidden underground. From the moment you arrive at Arrecife airport, you’ll see his artistic touch at every turn, from the Miró-style tourist board logos he designed to the kinetic wind sculptures that grace every bewildering roundabout. But it’s Manrique’s architecture with its James- Bond-meets-the-Flintstones style that is his most enduring legacy. His fi rst project was Jameos del Agua (tel: +34 928 848 020), a spectacular complex built in 1966 in a lava canal with a restaurant, bar and concert hall boasting perfect acoustics. Then over two decades he designed seven cultural centres including Casa-Museo Monumento al Campesino, a museum celebrating the peasants’ struggle to eek out a living from the island’s arid soil; a ruined castle in the capital which he converted into contemporary art museum MIAC (cabildodelanzarote.com); and the Jardín de Cactus (tel: +34 928 529 397), an exotic botanical garden with 10,000 varieties of cacti built on the site of a disused volcanic ash quarry. Manrique’s work inspired droves of artists to move LOCATION El Golfo – Lago de Los Clicos HE WEARS Shirt (£130) from Arnold Zimberg; trousers (£60), leather belt (£18) and Starboard shoes (£30), all from Topman SHE WEARS Origami dress (€66) from littlewoodseurope. com; Grace sandals (£100) from Terra Plana; cowrie shell necklace (£165) from Pebble to the island and the government began to nurture local talent, such as fashion designer Margarita Perez, who creates fabulous frocks for her label Margamod (margamod.com) from her atelier in Mozaga. Legendary Spanish fi lm director Pedro Almodóvar shot his latest fi lm Los Abrazos Rotos (Broken Embraces) on the island, following in the footsteps of bohemian millionaires and movie stars like Omar Sharif, whose ultimate bachelor pad was designed by Manrique and architect Jesús Soto. After Sharif lost it in a poker game, it was christened LagOmar (lag-o-mar.com) and is now a museum with an apartment for rent at €630 a week, an open-air gallery, hip bar La Cueva and one of the best restaurants on the island. ★ GRAN MELIA HOTEL SALINAS For the ultimate César Manrique experience, check into this glamorous fi vestar, which is adorned with his paintings and murals made of volcanic rock. He also designed the volcano-shaped ceiling lights in the lobby, the stylish free-form swimming pool and the extraordinary, tropical garden in the atrium. The stunning one-bedroom master suites recently refurbished by designer Álvaro Sans will set you back around €310 and for the kind of trip to Lanzarote once enjoyed by Omar Sharif, check into one of the super-luxurious, Bali-style garden villas, which have their own private parking, landscaped gardens and separate pool.
