The Royal Residence of La Mareta is a Spanish royal family residence located in the municipality of Teguise, in the island of Lanzarote. The residence has also been used as a holiday residence by some Spanish prime ministers.
The palace-house was commanded to build by King Hussein of Jordan in the late 1970s and was designed by Spanish architect César Manrique. Its name is due to the fact that in the same place there was a mareta, that is to say, a cistern that served to collect rainwater and as an animal drinker.
