Hiring a car is the best way to explore Lanzarote’s dramatic landscapes and hidden beaches. The island is relatively small, so most destinations are within an hour’s drive.

Lanzarote Travel Guide

Striking, sun-drenched and wonderfully otherworldly, Lanzarote is one of the most distinctive islands in Spain’s Canary Islands. Sculpted by volcanic eruptions and shaped by Atlantic winds, the island’s landscapes feel almost lunar. Yet alongside this rugged beauty you’ll find golden beaches, charming whitewashed villages and stylish seaside homes perfect for relaxed days in the sun.
Staying in one of our villas with pools offers the perfect way to experience Lanzarote. Spend mornings exploring the island’s natural wonders, from the fiery landscapes of Timanfaya National Park to the underground caves of Jameos del Agua, before returning to your private terrace for sunset views over the Atlantic. Whether you’re travelling with family or friends, our villas provide space, privacy and beautiful surroundings. You can also explore more island escapes across the Canary Islands, including Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, or browse our full collection of villas in Spain.

Lanzarote offers a travel experience unlike anywhere else in Spain. The island’s volcanic origins have shaped a landscape of dramatic contrasts, where black lava fields meet bright white villages and turquoise Atlantic waters.
Nature lovers will find plenty to explore. Timanfaya National Park showcases Lanzarote’s volcanic power with steaming geysers, lava flows and surreal red and black terrain. Along the coast, beaches vary from golden sands at Playa Blanca to wild, windswept stretches at Famara, a favourite with surfers.
Lanzarote is also famous for the work of visionary local artist César Manrique, who transformed the island into a living gallery. His architectural projects blend art, nature and design – from the lava cave concert hall of Jameos del Agua to the cactus-filled gardens of Jardín de Cactus.
Food in Lanzarote is simple and flavourful, centred around fresh seafood, local goat cheese and volcanic wines grown in the remarkable vineyards of La Geria. Paired with ocean views and warm island evenings, dining here feels wonderfully relaxed.
Lanzarote Airport (Arrecife Airport) connects the island with many major European cities, including frequent flights from the UK and mainland Spain.
