Why Choose Lanzarote for Your Next Holiday?
Lanzarote stands apart from other Canary Islands destinations thanks to its unique volcanic terrain and commitment to preserving natural beauty. The island boasts no traffic lights or major roads, creating a tranquil atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding from daily life.
The island's three main resorts each offer something different. Puerto del Carmen provides lively nightlife and excellent beaches, Costa Teguise appeals to families with its calm waters and water sports, while Playa Blanca offers a more sophisticated atmosphere with upscale restaurants and shopping.
Lanzarote's volcanic heritage creates extraordinary attractions you won't find elsewhere. The Cueva de los Verdes, a 7km-long lava tunnel with an underground auditorium, offers a truly magical experience.
As Nicole Mullally from her recent trip report notes: "My favourite things about the trip were the Cuevo de los Verdes, I can't explain how magical the experience was! And also the tour around Timanfaya, that was awesome."
The island enjoys roughly 350 days of sunshine per year, making it an ideal year-round destination. Even winter temperatures rarely drop below 20 degrees, ensuring comfortable weather whenever you choose to visit.

Practical Information for Your Lanzarote Holiday
Best Time to Visit
Lanzarote enjoys pleasant weather year-round, but spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) offer ideal temperatures with fewer crowds. Summer brings the warmest weather but higher prices and busier attractions.
Local Culture and Customs
Lanzarote people embrace a relaxed lifestyle - they don't rush things. Many establishments close on Sundays, and siesta time (2-5 PM) is still observed. This slower pace becomes part of the holiday charm once you adjust.
Currency and Costs
The Euro is used throughout Lanzarote. Prices generally remain reasonable compared to mainland Spain, though tourist areas command premium rates. Budget approximately €30-50 per person daily for meals and drinks outside all inclusive resorts.
Getting Around
Rental cars offer the most flexibility for exploring, though public buses connect major resorts and attractions. Many package holidays include airport transfers, eliminating immediate transport concerns.
