Hidden within a volcanic tunnel on Lanzarote’s northern coast, Jameos del Agua is one of the island’s most remarkable attractions. Transformed by César Manrique, this unique space combines nature, art and architecture within a series of lava caves formed thousands of years ago by volcanic activity. Whitewashed walls, tropical gardens and a striking turquoise pool create a setting that feels both natural and carefully designed.
As you explore, you can wander through volcanic chambers, admire the underground lagoon and learn about the geological forces that shaped the island. The site is also home to a rare species of tiny blind albino crab found nowhere else in the world. Despite its inviting appearance, the iconic pool was designed as a work of art and swimming is not permitted.
