There are many good reasons to book a holiday in Lanzarote. As this little Canary Island offers some of the most reliable weather in the world. Boasting year round sunshine and very low rainfall. Along with a wealth of things to do and see and plenty of good quality accommodation.

Little surprise then that this island has become such a popular holiday destination. Welcoming millions of tourists from across sun starved Northern Europe – as well as plenty of Spanish guests too – every year.

The majority of visitors tend to stay in one of the three main resorts of Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen. Which is also where most of the accommodation in Lanzarote is located.

There are over 200 hotels for visitors to choose from. Along with plenty of apartment complexes. Whilst many tourists prefer to book their own villas in Lanzarote direct online, thanks to the growth in internet usage in recent years. Many of the leading British tour operators such as Thomas Cook and Thomsons also offer a wide variety of holidays in Lanzarote too. Spanning everything from all inclusive breaks through to simple studio apartments.

Lanzarote is a real beach lover’s paradise – with close to 100 fine stretches of sand for visitors to explore. The best of these can be found outside of the main resorts – with the best located at Arrieta, Papagayo and Famara. First time visitors often expect to find black sand beaches here – but unlike the rest of the Canaries most of the playas here are made up of golden grains.

Bus services are limited – so anyone planning to explore is best advised to book car hire in Lanzarote . Unlike some other Spanish holiday islands rental rates here are actually very cheap – staring from as little as €15 per day for a basic model. Whilst the roads are quiet and safe – making it easy to tour and explore.

As well as great beaches Lanzarote is also home to the surreal scenery of the Timanfaya National Park. This is the island’s unique volcanic region – forged during the 18th century by huge eruptions which turned about 200 km square of the interior into a lunar like wasteland.

Ironically, whilst this caused widespread devastation the time and forced many islanders to emigrate this is now the most popular attraction on Lanzarote. And is now widely regarded as one of Spain’s most treasured National Parks.
