Cheap Lanzarote Holidays

Lanzarote is one of the most popular of the Canary Islands; lying to the north of the island of Fuerteventura and close to the coast of Africa, thanks to the location it enjoys a fantastic climate all year round. Lanzarote holidays are very popular all year round thanks to the good sunshine record, where you will find hot summers and warm winters. Lanzarote has a good range of resorts, some of the best beaches in the Canary Islands and there is something to suit everyone whether you are looking for a family orientated, laid back or lively holiday resort.

This sun soaked island is renowned as having some of the best beaches in the Canaries, including black sand bays such as El Golfo or the golden sands of Playa de las Conchas and they are always a good choice through the day where you can lie back and enjoy the warm sunshine or try your hand at one of the many watersports on offer. Lanzarote is a popular choice for windsurfers who take advantage of the off shore breeze and offer some of the best conditions in Europe. Diver’s have started exploring the sea, Lanzarote is the home to Europe’s first underwater museum where artist Jason de Caires Taylor has submerged sculptures 12m below the sea attracting a wide range of sea life.

Most people enjoy holidays in the major resorts of Puerto Del Carmen, Playa Blanca and Costa Tequise all of which have their own charms. Puerto Del Carmen is the largest and most popular resort with abundance shops, bars, restaurants and plenty of night life. Playa Blanca is a traditional resort where the night life is very low key and proves a popular place with couples. Costa Teguise is ideal for a family holiday as many of the hotels offer kids clubs and it is a fairly laid back resort with a number of bars and restaurants but nothing too rowdy. Holidays to Lanzarote are usually based in excellent resorts that have thankfully avoided inappropriate high rise development.

As well as being famous for great beaches, Lanzarote is home to an extraordinarily beautiful lunar landscape, with ancient volcanoes and colourful rock formations. Wherever you decide to stay, you won’t be too far away from fun-filled theme parks and waterparks, which make an excellent day out with the family. You’ll love getting out and about in nature at Timanfaya National Park, too. All these areas can be visited on excursions from the main resorts. Other popular excursions on Lanzarote include the fascinating lava caves at Cuerva de los Verdes and Los Jameos del Agua, Guatiza with its cactus garden, the northern fishing villages of Orzola and Arrieta, and charming whitewashed inland villages like Yaiza and Tias with their typical Canarian bars and restaurants. There are many walking and hiking trails on the island and public transport is very good. Many holidaymakers like to hire a car in order to explore at their own pace.

But if relaxation is your thing and you would rather lie back and enjoy the sunshine, Lanzarote’s beaches are the place to be. While the main resorts on the island host beautiful sandy coastlines, should definitely make time for a visit to the Papagayo beaches for something special. Located just outside of Playa Blanca visit, this seemingly secluded area is abundant in natural beauty and evokes a feeling of desert island escape worth savouring.
