    Holidays to Lanzarote in Spain introduce you to some of the best beaches in the Canary Islands and a landscape that’s unlike anything you’ll see in Britain.

    First-class beaches

    Lanzarote has been in the business of sun, sea and sand breaks since the Seventies. In fact, as one of Europe’s first mainstream holiday destinations, it helped to invent the classic beach break. Take one look at the place and you’ll see what made it the perfect prototype. The main resorts of Puerto del Carmen, Playa de los Pocillos, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca are hemmed by long ribbons of sand, and their shores are top spots for watersports.

    Lunar landscapes

    Away from the coast, Lanzarote’s landscape is unique. In fact, UNESCO has given the island World Biosphere Reserve status, in order to protect it. Stand among the silver mountain peaks and black rock formations in the island’s interior and you’d be forgiven for thinking you were on the surface of the moon. The landscape in Timanfaya National Park deserves a special mention. It’s pockmarked by the craters of more than a hundred volcanoes, known as the Fire Mountains.

    The legacy of Cesar Manrique

    You can’t visit Lanzarote without seeing at least one art installation by the famous artist, Cesar Manrique. The island is covered with his off-the-wall creations. Head to the Jameos del Agua, on the north coast, to explore the underground caves he converted into a chic bar and a concert hall.

    Top Destinations

    • Costa Teguise

      Canary Island holidays to Costa Teguise offer up sandy beaches and a coast that's tailor-made for windsurfing. A double dose of bars and restaurants tops things off.

    • Matagorda

      Holidays to Matagorda take you to a little seaside town at the centre of Lanzarote’s bustling hub – there are restaurants and bars here, plus shopping malls and clubs just a few minutes’ drive away.

    • Playa Blanca

      Holidays to Playa Blanca serve up huge streaks of sand, plus nightlife that offers a generous quota of beach-facing bars and restaurants.

    • Playa de los Pocillos

      Canary Islands holidays to Playa de los Pocillos take you to a laid-back Lanzarote town, and put you in easy reach of bustling markets, volcanic scenery – and a very lively neighbour.

    • Puerto del Carmen

      Holidays to Puerto del Carmen take you to Lanzarote for up-tempo evenings along the waterfront – and 3 different beaches to relax on. Not only that, the capital Arrecife is only half-an-hour away.

    • Puerto Calero

      Holidays to Puerto Calero give you a smart harbour where boutique shopping meets elegant dining.

    • Beaches for all seasons

      Lanzarote’s beaches come in more varieties than Heinz soup. You’ve got the busy band of sand in Puerto del Carmen, the Blue Flag bay in Playa Blanca, and the bucket-and-spade affairs in Costa Teguise. What’s more, thanks to Lanzarote’s proximity to Africa, the island’s beaches stay warm all year round.

    • The big beach

      Playa Grande runs the length of Puerto del Carmen’s main road, which is packed full of restaurants and bars. The beach itself is really long and wide, and there’s a generous helping of sunloungers, which you can hire for the day for just a few euros. If you fancy a break from sunbathing, rent a pedalo and head out to sea – you’ll get great views of Lanzarote’s volcanic landscape.

    • The secret beach

      Bookended by cliffs, the beaches at El Papagayo, on Lanzarote’s most southern tip, are completely unspoilt and protected by national park status. There are two ways to access them – hire a car and drive along the rugged mountain access road, or take a water taxi from the harbour in Playa Blanca.

    • Bargain Buys

      Lanzarote’s markets are hallowed ground for bargain hunters. You can pick up everything from lace and hand-made jewellery to fake designer watches and small Canarian guitars called timples. The largest market takes place in Teguise – a 10-minute drive from Costa Teguise – on Sundays. There’s also one near the Church of San Gines in Arrecife on Saturday, and one at Marina Rubicon in Playa Blanca on Wednesdays.

    • Mid-Range Buys

      High street fashion and international-brand cosmetics come thick and fast in Lanzarote. You’ll find shops like Zara, Mango and The Body Shop corralled inside big malls like the Biosfera in Puerto del Carmen and Deiland in Playa Honda, which is just a short bus journey from Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise.

    • Designer Buys

      Plenty of shops in Lanzarote sell designer labels, but Puerto Calero near Puerto del Carmen has the best portfolio. In this quiet harbour town you can shop for Armani, DKNY and Ralph Lauren. You’ll find a good selection of high-end fashion stores on Calle Real in Arrecife and Marina Rubicon in Playa Blanca, too.

    • Laid-back evenings

      Just 20 minutes from Playa Blanca, the quaint fishing village of El Golfo has a reputation for having the best fish restaurants in the Canary Islands. Don’t expect a menu though – in some of the eateries you simply choose ‘meat’ or ‘fish’ and leave your dinner the hands of the chefs. If you’re staying in Costa Teguise, a 20-minute drive north will take you to Los Jameos del Agua – an underground bar and concert hall designed by Cesar Manrique. In Playa de los Pocillos, evenings tend to be played out in the town’s family-friendly restaurants and bars.

    • Lively evenings

      Puerto del Carmen is the leader of Lanzarote’s nightlife pack. The Avinda de las Playas is home to a long line of bars and clubs offering everything from R&B music to karaoke. In Playa Blanca, the liveliest areas are the Centro Commercial Papagayo near Playa Dorada, and the Centro Commercial Punto Limones, near the port. Costa Teguise takes a back seat as far as nightlife is concerned, but there are a few karaoke and cocktail bars around Playa de las Cucharas and Calle las Olas.

    • Papas arrugdas

      You can’t escape papas arrugadas in the Canary Islands. These miniature jacket potatoes have crunchy skins and hot fluffy centres. Traditionally, they are served as a tapas dish, drizzled in a terracotta-coloured spicy pepper sauce.

    • Caldo de millo y garbanzos

      This soup is one of Lanzarote’s number one hunger busters. It’s made from corn, garlic, water, paprika, parsley, chickpeas and bacon, and it’s so chunky you sometimes need a knife and fork to cut up the ingredients. The best way to eat it is with slices of freshly-baked bread.

    • Tollos

      This dish has a similar polarising effect to Marmite – you either love it or you hate it. In short, it’s a traditional recipe made from dogfish. The fish is soaked overnight to soften it, then it’s fried with vinegar, crushed garlic, cumin, saffron, paprika and red peppers.

    • Frangollo

      This dish falls into the like-momma-used-to-make category. It’s produced by heating together milk, maize flour, lemon, eggs, sugar, raisins and cinnamon. The finished product looks like a cross between bread and butter pudding and custard. In Lanzarote, it’s traditional to pour hot milk and sugar over the top to serve.

    • Malmsey wine

      In Lanzarote, grapes are cultivated in an unusual way. Vines are grown in small man-made craters in the ground rather than on trellises. The most popular wine on the island is Malmsey, which has a rich, sweet taste and tends to be brought out after dinner.
