Trips to Lanzarote

Lanzarote is a sunny destination with an average of only eleven days of rain per year. It's perfect for those who want to enjoy days at the beach and lots of swimming. You can find relatively untouched beaches and dramatic landscapes unlike any other place on earth.

Beautiful Beaches

Lanzarote boasts several high-quality beaches, many of which are family-friendly and located near various hotels. The most family-friendly beaches include those in Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca, and Matagorda. Perhaps the most famous beach is the still unspoiled Papagayo Beach.

Along the beaches, you’ll often find pleasant promenades. Sit at an outdoor café for a relaxing lunch or simply watch as people pass by on their way to enjoy another lovely vacation day.

Finding the Perfect Destination

Matagorda offers good accommodation with a wide range of vacation apartments and hotels, all within walking distance. It's ideal for those seeking a peaceful vacation or families with children.

Puerto del Carmen is more vibrant, with a wide selection of restaurants and nightlife alongside beautiful beaches. Be sure to explore the charming restaurants in the harbor area.

Playa Blanca, meaning “the white beach,” speaks for itself. Originally a fishing village, it has retained its authentic atmosphere.

Lunar Landscapes and Architecture

Lanzarote is home to many attractions worth visiting. The Timanfaya National Park is perhaps the most notable, presenting a landscape unique to the world. Other attractions include the works of world-famous architect Cesar Manrique, such as Jameos del Agua, a spectacular cave complex worth a visit.

From Lanzarote, it's easy to take a short trip to the nearby islands of La Graciosa and Fuerteventura, with boats running multiple times a day.

After a Day at the Beach

In central Puerto del Carmen, there are numerous shops and supermarkets. Playa Blanca offers a more limited shopping experience. Lanzarote’s capital, Arrecife, is known for having the most affordable shopping on the island.

Each destination presents a wide variety of dining options. Don't miss an evening meal in the harbors of both Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca. Matagorda also has a significant number of restaurants around its shopping area.

Authentic Feel

Lanzarote exudes a more authentic and untouched charm than neighboring islands, with buildings harmoniously blending with nature, providing visitors a sense of peace and well-being. The renowned architect Cesar Manrique dedicated himself to preserving the island’s original architectural style and genuine character. High-rises and massive hotel complexes are absent, with all the houses painted white, giving the island a picturesque and authentic feel.
