The Island of Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the ideal choice if you’re on the lookout for a holiday that involves the holy trinity of sun, sea and sand.

125 kilometres west of the coast of Africa, the island of Lanzarote is one of the Canary Islands. Its close proximity to the equator ensures that the island gets hot weather all year and thanks to the island’s volcanic origins, there’s no shortage of sandy beaches and dramatic landscapes. From the lively nightlife of Puerto del Carmen and Arrecife to the spectacular Timanfaya National Park, Lanzarote has it all.

Arrecife

The island’s main city of Arrecife, home to half the island’s inhabitants, has a wealth of shops and a bustling nightlife too. Approximately 45 minutes from the airport, Playa Blanca is the newest and fastest growing resort on the island. The town has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere with plenty of shops, bars, restaurants, and, of course, beaches! You can even hop over to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura using the regular ferries that leave from the harbour. Costa Teguise is one of Lanzarote’s oldest and most established resorts with plenty of things to do including golf, windsurfing or just lazing on the beach. If you’re looking for something a bit more upmarket, then Puerto Calero, with its splendid marina, is definitely for you.

Whichever part of Lanzarote tickles your fancy, don’t forget to make sure you take out holiday insurance before you leave.
