Lanzarote holidays
On the one hand, unique-looking Lanzarote lines up stunning shorelines that call for lazy days in the sun. While on the other, 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, visit the ‘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.
Lanzarote resorts
Playa Blanca
Literally meaning ‘white beach’, you’re in for a sun-kissed getaway here. With its pristine, soft-textured beaches, yachting marina and immaculate villas, Playa Blanca is a tourist magnet that’s retained its village charm.
Costa Teguise
A beautiful town square and some glittering beaches on the doorstep make this small town a family favourite in lush Lanzarote.
Puerto Del Carmen
Island lovers and eager sun-tanners flock to the sands of this popular Lanzarote resort year after year.
Playa De Los Pocillos
Enjoying a blessed south coast spot, this resort is one for all ages.
Matagorda
The understated character of this resort makes it a great hideout for chilling out.
Puerto Calero
Along the warm south coast there’s a serene sailing spot going by the name of Puerto Calero.
Arrecife
The name of Lanzarote’s capital reflects the black volcanic reefs sitting below the sea.
Playa del Cable
Right by Arrecife, this resort combines the best blend of beach and city.
Macher
Welcome to Macher: a relaxed retreat away from the bustle and buzz of busier resorts.
Tias
Lanzarote’s second-largest town, Tias sits pretty in the south of the island.
Beaches
Each resort has its own patch of beautiful beachfront. They don’t tend to get too touristy either, unless you’re around the old town of Chania. Prepare to chill out or even watch in awe as locals take on water sports. Fancy setting sail on a boat trip too? No problem. See all beaches (17)
Papagayo Beaches
Playa Blanca, Lanzarote
Not just one beach but a whole series of sandy spots separated by cliffs, this is one of the best-known places on the island. It's actually a national park - unspoilt and beautiful, and is free of shops, bars...
Famara Beach

Sights
Chania’s known for its historic sites and old churches. The Venetian Harbour is a great place to start, with its lighthouse and old walls to tick off the list. Ancient Aptera Theatre is a knockout excavation in Kalyves. Keep your eyes peeled for Theodorou Island, and go underground to discover fascinating caves. See all sights (13)
Activities
Museums are in their masses. Get nautical and learn about the area’s maritime history, or even dig into its Venetian past. If you’re less fussed about culture and just fancy full-on fun, there’s a water park for an all-thrills day out. The botanical gardens make for an enchanting walk, too. See all activities (16)

Mouth-wateringly tasty Greek food? Check. Whether you’re staying in a quieter resort or Chania old town itself, you’ll find handfuls of great Greek tavernas.

Nightlife
Expect casual nights out. The general vibe is low-key – a couple of beers or glasses of wine in local restaurants is the done thing. If DJ sets in hip bars is the only kind of evening out you’re after, then hit Chania old town and keep an ear out for loud-and-proud venues. See all nightlife (4)
