Why Choose Lanzarote Holidays?
Lanzarote is best known for its striking volcanic scenery, protected landscapes and popular resorts that blend into the natural surroundings. Much of the island’s look and feel has been shaped by local artist César Manrique, helping preserve its character while still offering modern facilities. Alongside its beaches, Lanzarote offers walking routes, coastal viewpoints and easy access to natural attractions, making it appealing to both relaxed and active travellers.
Holidays in Lanzarote suit a wide range of travel styles, from family-friendly beach stays to quieter escapes focused on scenery, culture and sunshine throughout the year.
Where to Stay in Lanzarote
Puerto del Carmen
Puerto del Carmen is one of Lanzarote’s most established and lively resorts, offering a strong mix of beaches, activities and evening entertainment. The main beach, Playa Grande, stretches along the coast and is ideal for swimming, paddle boarding and jet skiing. The long promenade, Avenida de las Playas, is perfect for evening strolls and is lined with restaurants, cocktail bars and shops.
Visitors can explore the Old Town Harbour, where traditional Canarian restaurants overlook the water or book boat trips, diving and snorkelling excursions from the marina. Puerto del Carmen suits couples and families who want plenty to do within walking distance.
Costa Teguise
Costa Teguise offers a more relaxed and family friendly atmosphere, with a focus on outdoor activities. Playa de las Cucharas is a popular spot for windsurfing, while nearby beaches such as Playa del Jablillo provide calm, sheltered waters ideal for swimming. The resort is also home to the Lanzarote Aquarium, a popular attraction for younger visitors.
The area features scenic cycling routes, coastal walks and a selection of laid back restaurants and cafes, making Costa Teguise a good choice for travellers seeking a quieter base with easy access to activities.
Playa Blanca
Playa Blanca, located on the southern tip of the island, is known for its peaceful atmosphere and scenic surroundings. The resort is close to attractive beaches including Playa Dorada and Playa Flamingo, both offering sheltered waters and soft sand. A standout feature is Marina Rubicon, where visitors can enjoy seafront dining, boutique shopping and a lively market.
Playa Blanca is also the main gateway to the famous Papagayo Beaches, a collection of unspoilt coves with clear turquoise water, ideal for swimming and snorkelling. This resort suits couples and families looking for a calmer, more polished holiday experience.
