Welcome to Destination Lanzarote, your online Lanzarote Holiday Guide.

Lanzarote is the fourth largest of the seven Canary Islands and is a popular holiday destination with northern Europeans, especially in winter as people flock to seek the winter sun.

Over two centuries ago the largest volcanic eruption in history took place, forming a unique, countryside in the process. The landscape left behind and still visible today is dominated by volcanoes and fields of rock formed by lava. Lanzarote remains one of the most unspoilt, timeless islands in the Canaries, situated just 79 miles from the coast of Africa. Lanzarote is the most easterly of the Canary Islands. By design, It is the perfect blend of nature and man.

Lanzarote is the ideal year-round holiday destination thanks to its dry climate. The Island enjoys mild climatic conditions all year round, making it an ideal for holidays in both summer and winter. Lanzarote's position, near to the Sahara, makes it the hottest of the Canary Islands. As a result of the low mountain ranges the west side of the island tends to be hotter than the east. The west side (where the Timanfaya national park is situated) is desert-like and has a 'lunar' appearance, where as the eastern side is a little greener.

Lanzarote hosts a stunning natural landscape thanks to its volcanic origin, along with the longest Volcanic tunnel in the world. Despite its harsh landscape Lanzarote has a number of white sand beaches where you can take time out and relax in the year-round sunshine. Lanzarotes natural beauty and local attractions make the perfect discovery holiday for both adults and children.
