Lanzarote Holidays

White sands and year-round sunshine on the ‘Island of Fire’ – Lanzarote holidays are one-of-a-kind.

There’s your first glimpse of a breathtaking lava-filled landscape created out of a series of volcanic eruptions, a dive into deliciously dark blue waters and the simplicity of lathering on sun tan lotion and reading a good book on soft golden sands. The fertile but lunar land you’ll find on Lanzarote is not all mysterious; cycle coastal paths under a subtropical climate, lounge poolside in luxurious resorts and discover white sand coves fringed by turquoise waters. Expect deep fried cuttlefish at waterside restaurants overlooking a thundering sea, a world of palm trees and white-washed houses and a mesmerising blue lagoon in the north where indigenous rare species of albino crabs nestle in volcanic rock.

The Atlantic Ocean is your playground on Lanzarote holidays with a huge focus on surfing, windsurfing and cycling. Away from vivid blue waters, Timanfaya National Park takes you to lava badlands and extinct volcanoes where you can experience unique cave dining with dishes fuelled exclusively by geothermal heat. There are two sides to Lanzarote – a lunar landscape waiting to be explored and a beautiful beach holiday of swish hotels and lavish pools. Both make this Canary Island a great choice for families and couples.

Exploring Lanzarote In the resort of Playa Blanca are some of the island’s best Blue Flag beaches. Visit Timanfaya National Park which covers quarter of the island and is home to the ‘Fire Mountains’. Experience geothermal dining and see lava flow up close and personal; bear in mind it’s not possible to roam freely around the park, and a guided tour must be booked in advance. On the south-west coast of the island, the resort of Puerto Calero has a glamorous marina packed with luxury yachts and a glitzy atmosphere filled with boutique shops, gourmet dining, watersports activities, dive centres and unrivalled golf courses.

Getting around Buses and taxis run throughout the island, although bear in mind the bus service doesn’t run to all the main attractions. Car hire is a convenient and affordable way to get around if you want to explore further afield than your chosen resort.

Food & drink Fresh fish overlooking the ocean, an international menu of drinks and plenty of kid-friendly meals; eating out in Lanzarote is easy and breezy. Expect to find traditional Canarian classics including red sea bream and rabbit stew as well as roast Ibérico pork, paella and lots of vegetarian dishes too. Look out for sanchoco – a salted sea bream stew that is somewhat a tradition. Waterside dining is the star of the show, whether you’re overlooking the island of Fuerteventura or dining at El Golfo’s volcanic beach. At your hotel you’ll find Spanish, Asian and Italian restaurants as well as late-night bars and poolside eateries.
