About Lanzarote

Text
On the one hand, unique-looking Lanzarote lines stunning shorelines that call for lazy days in the sun. While on the other hand, stacks of natural wonders are waiting to be explored in this UNESCO-protected biosphere reserve, from lime-green lagoons to quirky caves. Spend your days hopping between classic resorts like Playa Blanca and Puerto Del Carmen to tick off their roll call of attractions. Or check out the artisan markets and tour the volcanic vineyards. All sorts of water sports are popular here too, and the terrain makes it brilliant to explore by bike. For an adventure to remember, trek to the top of ‘fire mountain’ for a volcanic barbecue feast. The island’s only 60km long and 30km wide, so it’s easy to get around!

A volcanic island

The origins of Lanzarote are still on show, with dark mountain ranges and solid lava fields spanning the island. The dramatic volcanoes of Timanfaya National Park give way to sandy beaches around the edges. Calm waters, soft shores and superb weather make these parts popular with families and couples alike.

Lanzarote's modern beach resorts

From Costa Teguise in the north to Playa Blanca in the south, resort towns are centred on their strip of beach. Take your pick from lively water sports-based areas to quieter spots perfect for children. Up and down the island, there are secluded coves – you might be the only one there!

Grand architecture

All over, you’ll find Lanzarote dotted with César Manrique-designed attractions. There’s the Mirador del Rio lookout, plus his ultra-stylish house that’s been converted into a museum to honour the man himself. Various pieces of history and culture fill the streets, so check out what this easternmost Canary Island is all about.

Resorts

Beaches

Lanzarote is flush with beaches, from the clear waters of the seaside spots in the north, to the serene bronze stretches on the southern tip of the island. Resort towns all boast their own beaches. If you’re after the best waves on the island, head to the north-west.

Sights

Take a tour of the world-famous volcanoes at Timanfaya National Park. A bus through the Mars-like terrain takes you along the craters’ edges. Look across to the island of La Graciosa from the vast lookout point or drive up the verdant valleys to get a feel for rural life in Lanzarote.
3

Activities

See the work of the island’s most famous artist, César Manrique, and various other museums and galleries of pure inspiration scattered all around. For something a little livelier, head to Costa Teguise – there’s a waterpark on the outskirts of town, plus windsurfing, snorkelling and diving at the beach.

Eating and drinking (beaches)

Try out Canarian cuisine at authentic local restaurants, both in rural towns and resort hotspots. Seafood is often on the menu, as well as staples like papas arrugadas with mojo sauce. Otherwise, you’ve got a choice of international cuisine, plus home favourites served in Brit bars around the island.
3

Shopping (beaches)

Make your way to the capital, Arrecife, for full-throttle high-street shopping. There are pedestrian-only streets fully lined with boutiques, tech stores, and duty-free shops. You can fill your suitcases with household brands like Zara, Bershka and Timberland too, so make sure you set aside some time at the mall.

Nightlife

Whether you’re after a quiet drink or clubbing till dawn, Lanzarote has got you covered. Puerto del Carmen is the nightlife centre, with a main strip boasting family-friendly bars plus bass-filled clubs. But in the smaller resorts, you can keep things simple with a couple of cold ones in the pubs.
