Guide to Lanzarote:

Holidays to Lanzarote are perfect for both young and old, whether you’re looking for a all inclusive laid back beach holiday or an action adventure. Swim in warm clear seas, discover amazing national parks and bask in year-round sunshine on this beautiful Spanish island.

With a stark volcanic backdrop and a wealth of beaches to choose from, Lanzarote attractions are focused on the stark beauty of its outdoor areas. This Canary Island boasts endless hidden coves and the distinct architecture of Cesar Manrique which blends into the landscape harmoniously. Visitors can enjoy the unique natural beauty of Timanfaya National Park, formed from volcanic ridges and rock formations. Manrique's home is a top attraction, built into rocky boulders and filled to the brim with artwork.

Whether you fancy a 5-star water-side retreat or a family-friendly resort complete with kids’ clubs, there are some great options to choose from on your holidays to Lanzarote. For those traveling with little ones, Costa Teguise is situated on the south east corner of the island and is a great destination, boasting a sheltered beach and a wealth of family attractions.

If you’re looking for sand between your toes, visit Playa Blanca. Impressive coastlines and a sophisticated marina ensure a stylish destination for your Lanzarote holidays. If you’d rather a lively atmosphere and buzzing nightlife, head down to the bustling harbour town of Puerto Del Carmen – an ideal location for party people.

Shopaholics looking for unique souvenirs must take a trip to Teguise Market – the biggest outdoor market in the Canary Islands. Canarian lacework, hand-crafted leather and locally-made jewellery are all here and available to buy and take home. When you tire of browsing its stalls, take a stroll through Teguise, taking a brief stop-off at one of the many cafes to enjoy the views as well as the delicious local doughnuts.

If you’d rather experience a slice of the action, Puerto del Carmen is the place to be. For those into thrill-seeking sports, try diving or bareback horse riding while those looking for laid-back holidays in Lanzarote will love taking a cool dip in the sea. This area is also popular for anyone looking for evening entertainment, with a wealth of pubs, clubs and disco bars located conveniently on the main strip.

For a brief history lesson, head to the Northern tip of the island where you’ll discover Lanzarote’s traditional side. Begin at the Cueva de Los Verdes, where passages and natural stairways lead to an impressive auditorium, before visiting Cesar Manrique’s legendary Jameos Del Agua - a volcanic cavern with rock gardens, a shimmering lake and a restaurant. For breath-taking views, take a trip to the Mirador Del Rio, an attractively-designed observation point built into a volcanic lava rock cliff.

If you’d rather relax and enjoy the sunshine, Lanzarote’s beaches are the place to be.
