Holidays in Lanzarote, Canary Islands: Your Essential Guide

Lanzarote, Canary Islands

Lanzarote remains a firm favourite for holidaymakers from the UK, offering that reliable combination of year-round sunshine and a flight time that makes it accessible for a week or a fortnight away. Whether you are flying from Manchester or Liverpool, the promise of the Canary Islands is hard to beat for those seeking a straightforward, hassle-free escape.

The island strikes a balance between vibrant coastal resorts and quieter, more relaxed corners. It is the kind of place where you can spend your morning by the pool or on the sand and your evening enjoying a relaxed meal as the sun sets over the Atlantic. It is little wonder that many visitors find themselves returning time and time again to soak up the unique charm of the region.

Where to Stay: Handpicked Hotels

Finding the right base is essential for a great holiday. Lanzarote offers a range of options, whether you are travelling as a couple or taking the family away for the school break. Here are some of the options available for your next package holiday:

  • Barcelo Lanzarote Royal Level: An upscale hotel section located in Costa Teguise, Lanzarote, perfect for those looking for a touch of extra comfort.
  • BLUESEA Alyssa Suite Hotel: This is an apart-hotel located in the residential area of Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, which works well for families wanting a bit more space.

Getting There and When to Go

With frequent connections from airports like Manchester and Liverpool, getting to Lanzarote is simple. The flight time is manageable, making it an excellent choice for families with children who prefer not to spend too long in the air. As part of the Canary Islands, the destination benefits from a mild climate that rarely dips into the cold, meaning you can enjoy a break here at almost any time of year.

While summer is popular for those seeking the hottest temperatures, the winter months are increasingly favoured by Brits looking to escape the grey weather back home. Shoulder seasons often provide the best balance of warm, pleasant weather and quieter resorts.

Beaches, Resorts and Coastal Charm

The coastline is the main event in Lanzarote. Depending on the resort you choose, you will find everything from sweeping stretches of golden sand to more intimate, quiet coves. The towns in the Canaries are well-adapted to visitors, with promenades that are perfect for a gentle stroll after dinner. If you enjoy watersports, the island's coastal geography often provides excellent conditions for swimming, snorkelling, and windsurfing, particularly in the northern resorts.

Food and Local Lifestyle

One of the joys of a holiday in Lanzarote is the simplicity of the food. You can expect plenty of fresh seafood and local ingredients, often served in relaxed, family-run restaurants. Whether you are looking for a quick lunch of tapas or a long, leisurely dinner overlooking the harbour, the dining scene is designed for comfort. The pace of life here is slower than at home, encouraging you to step away from your digital devices and enjoy the company of your travel companions.

Who Does Lanzarote Suit?

This destination is truly versatile. It suits families who need the convenience of well-equipped hotels with kids' clubs and pools, as well as couples seeking a quiet retreat by the ocean. Because many of the resorts are purpose-built for leisure, the infrastructure is excellent, taking the stress out of your holiday from the moment you land. If you want a getaway that combines reliability, ease of travel, and a welcoming atmosphere, this island is a fantastic choice.
