Holidays to Lanzarote

Staggering volcanic landscapes, glorious year-round sun, beaches for days… if there’s one thing a Lanzarote holiday has got, it’s personality! Visit with the fam, with friends or with your better half – there’s something to appeal to everyone.

Lava nice scenery

Known as the Island of Volcanoes, Lanzarote is wild and rugged, with dramatic peaks and craters all over the shop. Visit Timanfaya National Park to see the epically named Montañas del Fuego (Mountains of Fire) in all their glory – a bus tour will get you up close to the lava flows and moon-like landscape.

And here’s a pleasant surprise: there’s a winery up here, with vines that grow out of volcanic ash! It would be rude not to stop for a glass or three, wouldn’t it?

Sandy shores

Black volcanic sand or long, golden beaches? The choice is yours on a Lanzarote holiday!

There’s a whole lot of fun to be had at the popular Playa de las Cucharas, which boasts golden sand and plenty of watersports. If you have the fam in tow, little ’uns will love Playa Flamingo in Playa Blanca. Cute name. Safe swimming. Win-win.

Just the two of you? The loooong Playa de Famara in the northwest is perfect for romantic barefoot strolls, with killer sunsets and views to boot! Or book a whale or dolphin watching tour for some flippin’ fun.

Sporty spice

Sticking to a sun-lounger for your whole holiday is obviously bang on, but you can also turn up the action if you want.

Lanzarote is a cyclists’ haven, with lush long rides and epic views. Hire a bike to pedal around the coast or up into the hills.

Meanwhile, surf’s up at Famara – one of the best surfing spots in Europe. Then strap on a tank and dive to the Museo Atlántico, an underwater sculpture museum (it beats the pants off a stuffy exhibition!).
