Lanzarote offers a myriad of unforgettable experiences, from sun-soaked beaches to awe-inspiring volcanic panoramas, while its comfortable year-round climate makes it the ideal winter sun destination.
Lanzarote is the easternmost island of Spain's Canary Islands archipelago, situated in the Atlantic Ocean. The island is located approximately 77 miles off the coast of mainland Africa; however, Spain has jurisdiction over Lanzarote, despite its location off the African coast.
Known for its warm climate, exceptional beaches, and UNESCO-protected Timanfaya National Park, Lanzarote effortlessly blends natural beauty with rich cultural heritage, mirroring the influence of the legendary artist César Manrique.
Parque Nacional de Timanfaya, or Timanfaya National Park, is entirely composed of volcanic soil and the product of the major volcanic eruptions. The park encompasses a wide range of geological and volcanic features, including lava fields, ash-covered mountains, and crevices venting geothermal heat. For an incredible view of the park, ascend the Islote de Hilario, where you'll find the symbolic El Diablo statue, a creation of Lanzarote's celebrated artist, César Manrique.
El Golfo - or the Green Lagoon as it’s often known - has taken up residence in a former volcanic crater and shimmers with emerald green as one of nature’s greatest spectacles. Flanked by a tiny seaside village, there are much worse ways to spend an afternoon than with a view over the glittering ocean, gorging on the freshest of seafood knowing your thermals are safely packed away.
Lanzarote boasts a plethora of incredible beaches. Playa Blanca and Papagayo feature pristine white sands and turquoise waters, while the resort of Puerto del Carmen offers large, bathing-friendly beaches. Playa de Famara is popular with surfers and adventure lovers due to its breathtaking landscapes. Costa Teguise is where you'll enjoy windsurfing and family outings. If it's tranquillity you crave, then the untouched black sand beach of Playa Quemada will do the trick.
