The island offers a variety of beautiful beaches for holidaymakers to enjoy the sunshine. Playa Flamingo provides lush white sand and calm waters and is popular with families, whereas Playa de Famara is a great beach for water sports and air sports like parasailing.

As well as the beaches, Lanzarote offers a range of natural wonders. A top attraction is the incredible Timanfaya National Park, often referred to as the ‘Fire Mountains’. The park’s unique landscape is often compared to the moon or planet Mars and was created by more than 100 volcanoes erupting over many years.

If you love all things nature, you cannot miss the Jardin de Cactus (Cactus Garden). The unique garden was designed by celebrated local artist César Manrique. There are over 4,500 plants, plus an interesting cactus sculpture to admire.

With Aqua parks, water sports, movies under the stars and much more, Lanzarote is a great destination for families. A must-see is the Rancho Texas Park with its animal park, sea lion shows, cowboy lasso displays and pony rides. The park also offers the opportunity to interact with dolphins – an experience that you will never forget!

Costa Teguise offers a more laid-back evening, its cobbled streets are dotted with attractive pubs and wine bars where you can enjoy fine wine and refreshing cocktails while listening to local bands.

The majority of hotels in Lanzarote are in the three big resorts of Puero del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca. All feature family-friendly and adult-only properties that span the star system from value to ultra luxury.
