Lanzarote is an ideal all year destination warmed by the shifting sands of the Sahara 60 miles away.

Lanzarote is the most easterly of the seven larger islands in the Canary Islands (Isla Canarias). With sandy beaches, bathed in sunshine and lapped by the crystal clear Atlantic, it is an all year round holiday destination. Lanzarote, known as “Conejera” by the islanders, is also known as the island with 100 volcanos.

Lanzarote – including the small islands of La Graciosa, Alegranza, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este y del Oeste – covers an area of 900 sq.km.

Situated on Lanzarote’s sun-drenched southwest tip Playa Blanca has a long stretch of golden sand and  is lined with sunbeds, showers and an attractive paved walkway at the back.and is home to a number of top beaches.

Puerto del Carmen is Lanzarote’s biggest and most popular holiday resort. Puerto del Carmen has a lovely sandy beach stretching for 12km, from the upmarket area of Matagorda through to the Old Town.

Costa Teguise is a modern resort but built in traditional Canarian style. It is perhaps best-known for its water sports and draws windsurfing aficionados from around the world. Playa de las Cucharas is the longest beach (600m long) in Costa Teguise

Lanzarote is a lot more than soft golden sands. Lanzarote was born out of fiery eruptions. It’s volcanic to the extreme -with dramatic peaks, solidified lava streams and bizarre rock formations.

Bathed all year round in sunshine and boasting glorious beaches, Lanzarote is considered by many to be the most beautiful of the Canaries. Swirling multi-coloured rock strata, soaring purple volcanic peaks and jet black solidified lava streams punctuate Lanzarote’s stark, moon-like landscape giving it a hauntingly beautiful, otherworldly magnificence.

If you haven’t heard of Cesar Manrique before your visit to Lanzarote, you’ll certainly remember him afterwards. Wherever you go you will come across his name and influence time and time again. A contemporary of Picasso and Dali, Manrique was a skilled artist and designer. With the advent of mass tourism, he was eager to preserve Lanzarote’s unique beauty and campaigned to protect the island’s stunning scenery and local traditions.

Playa Blanca is one of Lanzarote’s most popular resorts. Tucked on Lanzarote’s sun-drenched southwest tip, this quiet resort is home to a number of top beaches. The white sandy sweep in the heart of town – from which Playa Blanca gets its name – is the proud owner of a coveted Blue Flag, as is neighbouring Playa Dorada beach. Go just a little further and you’ve got the dreamy Papagayo sands.

From Playa Blanca you can hop on a ferry over to Fuerteventura and Lanzarote’s famous Timanfaya National Park isn’t far away, either.

In Puerto del Carmen people tend to spend their time flopping on the beach during the day – a golden sandy sweep that runs virtually unbroken for about 6kms.The old town’s harbour stands in total contrast to the main resort strip. There are enticing little tapas bars, waterside fish restaurants and narrow winding backstreets. Not far away there is a very chic shopping mall called the Biosphere that’s jammed packed with smart boutiques.

A long, narrow resort, Puerto del Carmen stretches for four kilometres along the main coastal road lined with dozens of shops, restaurants and bars and only about 5 kilometres from Lanzarote’s capital, Arrecife. The volcanic backdrop to the south and views out towards Fuerteventura are attractive and the harbour in the old town is home to some great fish restaurants in a nice, relaxing environment, although between July and August some vibrant local fiestas take place with a fairground atmosphere.

Costa Teguise boasts beaches, golf courses and water sports – a modern resort but built in traditional Canarian style. It is perhaps best-known for its watersports and draws windsurfing aficionados from around the world to its shores to experience the surf. If riding the crest of a wave isn’t your thing though, there’s plenty of other activities on offer like scuba diving, sailing and deep sea fishing. Of course, you might just prefer to spectate from the comfort of your beach towel as the neon sails of windsurfers flash across the sea. In which case, you’ve come to the right place…

There are three key beaches to choose from. The biggest, and arguably the best, is Las Cucharas. Made up of soft white sand, it really hits the spot if sunbathing tops your holiday to do list. Smaller El Jabillo beach is a bit pebbly while Los Charcos boasts an enticing sandy strip.

An 18-hole golf course can be found just two kilometres away from the resort centre.

Although custom-built, Costa Teguise has been lovingly planned and constructed in the typical Lanzarote style – whitewashed buildings are adorned with brightly painted green or blue window shutters and a short bus journey takes you from the resort to the island’s capital city, Arrecife, while just inland from Costa Teguise is the quaint little town of Tahiche. Best-known for its association with Lanzarote’s most famous son, the local landscape artist Cesar Manrique.

Tahiche is the location of the Manrique Foundation which is housed in the artist’s former home. Here you can view his work and collection pieces by Picasso. The house itself is well-worth a look as it is half submerged below ground, forming part of a network of underground caves and lava bubbles. The Cactus Garden at Guatiza is another popular attraction on the north-east of the island, not far from Costa Teguise. Designed by Manrique, it fuses nature with art and boasts well over 1000 cacti of different shapes and sizes.

Not to be confused with Costa Teguise, the island’s former capital is called Teguise. Today it is hardly more than a small village but boasts some of Lanzarote’s most elegant landmarks – the colonial-style buildings which surround the main square retain a bygone charm. Once a week a large market is held in the centre of Teguise selling everything from leather work to lace.
