Explore Lanzarote
Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family holiday or an adventure packed escape, we have put together our recommendations so you can create amazing memories whilst you are here.
Visit Papagayo Beach
A short drive from Playa Blanca is one of the most popular beaches of the island, Papagayo, a cove of white sand, reduced size and great beauty. In the shape of a bay or shell (some locals prefer to call it the latter), Papagayo wins you over with its crystal clear, emerald green water which remains still all day long just like in a swimming pool. It’s perfect for taking up snorkeling and for enjoying the beauty of its depths or for letting the children splash about without having to worry.
Climb Mount Roja
The walk up the 'Red Mountain' is a must when you're on holiday in Playa Blanca, and it's not just for hikers.
Montana Roja, an old volcano, isn't as high as it looks when you're in Playa Blanca but the views from the top are absolutely beautiful. You can look down on the resort and beaches and out across the sea to the island of Fuerteventura. It's your reward for following the rough, steadily climbing path up the mountainside, which takes most people about half an hour.
Timanfayo National Park
A visit Timanfaya is a 'must do' when visiting Lanzarote
The dramatic volcanic landscape covers a quarter of the island. It was created over a six year period of continuous volcanic eruptions, taking place between 1730 and 1736. The landscape stretches for miles, it is like being on another planet.
You can book an excursion and be collected by coach from one of several local hotels, or take the short drive yourself, be sure to arrive early as queues to get in the National Park get very long.
Experience the Island´s finest Volcanic Vineyards and Craft Breweries. Daily Wine Tours include a walk in the vineyards (max. 8 guests) and are led by a WSET qualified professional. Get immersed in the process of caring for a vine, throughout the yearly cycle, understanding first hand some of the equipment and techniques used.
