Trends / Unique Itineraries & Tours

Lanzarote, the island of volcanoes in the Canary Islands, offers a wealth of opportunities to get outside and explore. The sheer beauty of the island means you’ll find something spectacular around every corner.

 

The beaches of Lanzarote and the Canary Islands are world-renowned. Playa Blanca is one of the most famous on the island and combines tranquil, clear waters with a shoreline full of restaurants and bars. Lanzarote is also home to Playa Papagayo, Playa Dorada and Playa Flamingo.

 

The volcanic island also houses Timanfaya National Park. The UNESCO World Heritage Biospheric Reserve is made entirely of volcanic soil and is one of the more unique landscapes around. The La Ruta de Los Volcanos winds through the park and passes through beautiful volcanic tubes — you can also ride around on a camel!

 

Another popular activity when visiting Lanzarote is to hop on a sailboat to La Graciosa. The tiny island just off the coast is a 25-minute ride across stunningly crystal blue waters and offers wildlife unseen anywhere else on the Canaries. You can explore it on foot or by bike.

 

Finally, there are few better ways to enjoy the tranquility of the island than during a round of golf. Both Lanzarote Golf and Costa Teguise Golf Club offer 18 rounds of peaceful bliss that allow you to take in the beauty of the island at a leisurely pace.
