Overview
Lanzarote feels unlike anywhere else in Europe: dark volcanic landscapes, whitewashed villages and bright blue sea, with sunshine all year round.
The resorts are low-rise and relaxed, making it a great choice for families with young children and couples who want a calmer pace. Timanfaya National Park, the caves of Jameos del Agua and the work of local artist César Manrique are all worth a day out.
It’s also popular with cyclists, walkers and surfers, and a short ferry ride takes you across to neighbouring Fuerteventura.
