This location is very beautiful and stunning highly inappropriate for a family vacation who want to travel.
Lanzarote is situated just 79 miles off the coast of Africa and is the most easterly of the Canary Islands. The island is 37 miles (60km) long and 12 miles (20 km) wide, making it the fourth largest island in the Canaries.
Lanzarote enjoys a mild dry climate with average daytime temperatures ranging from about 21°C in January to 29°C in August. Annual rainfall is just 140mm (5.5 inches). This makes Lanzarote the perfect year-round destination.
As with the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote is Volcanic in origin. Due to the recent eruptions during the 18th and 19th Centuries, many parts of Lanzarote appear to be from another world, often described as 'lunar' or 'Martian'.
The dry climate (and lack of erosion) means that the Volcanic Landscape appears much as it did just after the eruptions.
Amongst the many stunning Volcanic features of Lanzarote is the longest Volcanic Tunnel in the world, the Atlantida Tunnel, which is over 7 km long and includes the La Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua.
Despite the Volcanic nature of the island, Lanzarote has several beautiful white beaches such as at Playa Blanca and Papagayo.
Local authority regulations on the amount and style of development mean that there is no billboard advertising and no high rise buildings in Lanzarote (with the exception of the Grand Hotel in Arrecife).
If you are searching for accommodation, then check out our list of Lanzarote villas, Lanzarote apartments , bungalows or hotels in Lanzarote. If you want to know who flies to Lanzarote, then have a look at our list of Airlines that fly to Lanzarote. Finally if you want to see the island, then renting a car really is a must.
Lanzarote is quite close to Africa and you would expect the climate to be extremely hot but the islands are cooled by the trade winds, which generally make the high temperatures,(20c average, 28-30c mid summer) feel very comfortable. However, you would be wise to consider this when sunbathing as you may not realise the strength of the sun.
Lanzarote Resorts
The main resorts on Lanzarote are, Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen. They are all on the sheltered eastern side of the island and have south facing beaches.
Tourist Attractions
By far the biggest tourist attraction on Lanzarote is the Timanfaya National Park, where cars and coachloads of tourists queue to visit the dormant volcano which still spews out fire and steam in a spectacular display. Most of the other tourist attractions have been developed by exploiting the natural landscape of Lanzarote, using the ideas of César Manrique who wanted to preserve the natural beauty of the Island whilst still allowing it to be attractive to tourists. It was under his guidance that the island's villages all have white houses and that barring the Gran Hotel in Arricefe there are no tall buildings on Lanzarote.It has been said that this was built while he was away.
