Vacation in Lanzarote
Contrasting landscapes and fascinating volcanic islands
The Canary Islands have so much to offer, from subtropical landscapes and lush vegetation to desert landscapes to breathtaking cliffs and golden beaches. There’s Lanzarote, the land of lava and fire, Fuerteventura with its endless beaches, La Palma with its unspoilt nature, Tenerife with its imposing volcano, and Gran Canaria with its majestic dunes reminiscent of the Sahara desert... Each island is different, but they are all bathed by a generous sun and enjoy a mild climate, so you can be sure of a great beach holiday all year round!
Unique landscapes bearing the mark of Cesar Manrique
Lanzarote was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1993, and captivates visitors with its unique volcanic landscape. The island basks under a radiant sun that shines for a good part of the year, and is home to magnificent beaches with crystal clear waters that are perfect for swimming, surfing and diving. Lanzarote is also known for its traditional works of art by the artist César Manrique, – a native of the island – whose works pay tribute to the Canary Islands and celebrate the relationship between man and nature. Lanzarote’s most popular tourist areas are the seaside areas of Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise.

Playa Blanca
The whole area of Playa Blanca is set along a long sea promenade (though only a footpath on some stretches) and is home to two beautiful white sandy beaches – Playa Dorada and Playa Flamingo. The Rubicón marina is also popular for its seaside atmosphere and quaysides lined with small shops, bars and restaurants. Distance from the airport: 35 km.
Puerto Calero
This small seaside resort has a modern marina which is a lovely place for a stroll. It also boasts charming coves with pebbled beaches nestled between steep coastlines. It is a great destination for those in search of peace and quiet, who want to explore the island by car. Distance from the airport: 13 km.
Costa Teguise
This modern seaside town on the eastern coast is named after the island's former capital, Teguise, and features a small seafront promenade. It offers good recreational opportunities and its coastline is a popular place for water sports, especially windsurfing and diving. Las Cucharas beach can be found in the heart of the town. Distance from the airport: 10 km.
Puerto del Carmen
This former fishing village located south of Arrecife has gradually transformed itself into the popular seaside resort it is today. It is dotted with numerous cafes, shops, restaurants and nightclubs, but it has still retained its old-fashioned charm, especially in the narrow streets around the port, which is also an excellent place to stop for seafood. Puerto del Carmen also has a beautiful long promenade and a large, gently sloping sandy beach. Distance to the airport: 7 km.

Must-do
- Discover the island's unique vineyards. Tasting these award-winning wines is always the most enjoyable part of the visit!

Must-see
- The artist César Manrique, an iconic figure of Lanzarote, used his works to advocate for environmental protection – a legacy that still shapes the development of his native island today. His best-known work is a 3-hectare troglodyte house built into the volcanic rock. His last work, the Cactus Garden, is a superb Garden of Eden of over 100 species of cactus spread over 5,000 square metres.
- Pay a visit to the wild paradise of Playa de Papagayo, with its golden sand and emerald waters, as well as the green lagoon of El Golfo, whose colours contrast perfectly with the red and black volcanic earth.
