Volcanoes and beaches to explore

Lanzarote is full of family adventures, from dramatic lava fields and Timanfaya’s volcanoes to soft sandy beaches perfect for paddling. Kids will love spotting craggy rocks and exploring nature trails, while parents relax in the sunshine. Calm waters, gentle shores and year-round weather make it ideal for family fun.

Beach resorts for every family

From Costa Teguise in the north to Playa Blanca in the south, Lanzarote’s tailormade for families. Splash in the waves, try out beginner-friendly water sports or just build sandcastles. For quieter days, hidden coves offer peaceful beach time where little ones can run free, away from the crowds.

Fun, art and history together

Families can enjoy Lanzarote’s culture thanks to César Manrique’s colourful creations. Explore the Mirador del Rio lookout for amazing views, visit his stylish home-turned-museum, or wander the streets discovering quirky sculptures and local history.

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.
3

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.
3

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.
