Lanzarote Holidays

Lanzarote holidays have it all: brilliant weather, volcanic landscapes and tasty cuisine. Relax on one of many stunning sandy beaches, take a dip in the crystal waters, and spend your evenings indulging in Mediterranean dishes and locally produced wine. With carnivals, nightclubs and watersports here really is something for everyone on this beautiful Canary Island.

Beaches
Culture
Like its neighbouring islands, Lanzarote goes all out for Carnival season every February and March with the biggest crowds gathering in Arrecife. Castillo de San Jose, also in Arrecife, is an old fort that was built in 1774 on the orders of King Don Carlos III to try and alleviate the poverty that arose from a series of volcanic eruptions in the 1730s. The fort has since been transformed into the International Contemporary Art Museum, which makes a great day out for art-lovers as it holds the most important collection of modern art in the Canaries.

Food & Drink
Often served with a side of mojos (a sauce made from spices, lemon and chillies), Lanzarote cuisine is packed full of flavour and usually features seafood including sea bream, sea bass, and for the more daring, squid. Costa Teguise is the best place to sample locally produced wines, especially those made from the Malvasia grape.

Nightlife
Those who love to dance until the early hours will find paradise in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote’s most popular resort for nightlife. Explore the lively cocktail bars and lounges and head over to the harbour for late-night drinks. Centro Atlantico and Avenida de las Playas have the most clubs while The Island Bar in Las Palmas offers the perfect setting to enjoy a cosy cocktail alongside live music.
