Travelling to Lanzarote means volcanic landscapes, endless beaches and sunshine all year round. With scenery that feels almost extraterrestrial, it’s one of the most surprising gems of the Canary Islands.
Lanzarote has a personality all its own. The harmony between nature and architecture, its deep respect for the environment and the warmth of its people make this island truly one of a kind. Here, time seems to slow down, the sea merges with volcanic rock, and every corner invites you to disconnect.
It’s perfect for those seeking tranquillity, natural beauty and authentic experiences—without giving up comfort. Spend just a few days here and you’ll understand why so many people fall in love with Lanzarote… and why so many return.
Getting to Lanzarote is easy thanks to excellent air and ferry connections.
Lanzarote Airport (ACE) is located in Arrecife and welcomes national and international flights every day. There are direct routes from cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia and Seville, as well as frequent connections from many European airports.
If you’re already on another Canary Island, you can travel to Lanzarote comfortably by ferry. The most popular routes connect Corralejo (Fuerteventura) with Playa Blanca in just 30 minutes, or Las Palmas (Gran Canaria) with Arrecife.
Combining Lanzarote with a trip to nearby islands like La Graciosa is a great option for a longer itinerary. If you’re coming from mainland Europe, you’ll find year-round connections with both traditional and low-cost airlines.
Lanzarote enjoys warm, dry weather all year long. The average annual temperature is around 21 °C, with little rainfall and plenty of sunshine.
Don’t be fooled by its size—Lanzarote is a place best enjoyed slowly.
Lanzarote is much more than just beaches. Its volcanic soul is present in every corner, and its cultural legacy—deeply shaped by the artist César Manrique—can be felt throughout the island.
A lunar landscape formed by 18th-century eruptions, making it one of the most breathtaking places in Europe. The park is home to over 25 volcanoes, lava fields and Fire Mountains that look like they belong on another planet.
You can explore it by bus, walk along restricted trails, or dine in its volcanic restaurant, where food is cooked using the heat of the earth. A must-see that connects you directly with the raw power of nature.
A natural and artistic masterpiece transformed by César Manrique into a one-of-a-kind cultural space. This volcanic cave houses an underground lake with a unique species of albino crab, an auditorium with incredible acoustics, and a restaurant carved into the volcanic rock.
In short, it’s a place where art, nature and magic exist in perfect harmony.
An underground experience that will leave you speechless. This vast cave, formed after an eruption of the La Corona volcano, lets you walk over a kilometre through the inside of a volcanic tunnel.
Dim lighting, total silence and a final surprise (which we won’t spoil) make this one of Lanzarote’s most unforgettable visits.
The winegrowing heart of Lanzarote. Here, vines are planted in pits dug into volcanic ash, each protected by a semicircle of stone. The result: vineyards among black sands, a surreal landscape and unexpectedly excellent wines.
You can visit wineries like El Grifo or Rubicón, sample unique Malvasía wines, and enjoy the volcanic silence with a glass in hand.
Situated over 400 metres above sea level, this viewpoint—designed by Manrique—is built organically into the Famara cliffs.
Las vistas sobre la isla de La Graciosa y el archipiélago Chinijo son sobrecogedoras, especialmente al atardecer. El espacio incluye una cafetería y grandes ventanales panorámicos que te harán sentir suspendido en el cielo.
A tribute to design and botanical biodiversity. This garden is a former quarry transformed into a living sculpture, home to over 4,500 cactus species from all over the world.
The contrast between the green plants, red earth and blue sky creates an atmosphere of total peace. There’s also a traditional windmill and a café with a terrace.
More than a house-museum—it’s a declaration of love for art, sustainability and Lanzarote itself.
Located in the artist’s former home, built over five volcanic bubbles, this foundation showcases his artwork, sketches, original furniture and gardens designed in perfect balance between architecture and lava. A must to understand the island’s identity.
