Welcome to another world

Step off the plane in Lanzarote and you’ll feel as though you’ve landed on another planet. The landscape is so extraordinary that UNESCO has designated the entire island as a Biosphere Reserve – it’s easy to see why.

Topped with over 300 volcanic cones spread across an endless sea of multi-coloured lava rock, it’s more like a movie set for ‘Planet of the Apes’ than a package holiday destination. Below the surface, you’ll find bubbling geysers and caves created from giant lava tubes, adding even more drama to the scenery.

It’s true what they say about small packages…

Lanzarote is a petite island that packs some serious punches. As diverse as it is dinky, the bizarre lunar landscape is only the beginning.

Between the lonely lava fields, you’ll stumble across traditional white-washed towns tucked away in lush valleys, rolling vineyards and fishing villages forgotten by time. Being so tiny, the whole island is at your fingertips. Scrape yourself off the sun lounger, hop in a hire car and start to explore. 

Say hello to winter sunshine

Lanzarote has long been somewhere for us sun-starved Brits to flee to from winter, so it would be rude not to mention the beaches. The nearest Canary Island to the coast of Africa, Lanzarote is blessed with year-round sunshine and late-spring temperatures, making it pretty darn hard to resist.

The island is edged with natural black, silvery grey and golden beaches, all perfect for soaking up some rays while you sip on a cold beer. Whether you’re after cheap holidays in Lanzarote’s party hotspots, a family holiday in Lanzarote, a hip surfer hangout or a last-minute getaway, you’ll find a Lanzarote package holiday deal that will tick your boxes.

When to go 

Strictly speaking, there’s no bad time for holidays in Lanzarote.

With a total annual rainfall of just 140mm (five inches) per year, you would be seriously – and statistically – unlucky to miss out on the sunshine. However, prices hit the roof over the school holidays, making it more difficult (but not impossible) to find cheap holidays in Lanzarote over Easter and mid-summer.

If you can, book 2018 Lanzarote holidays between January and March or between September and mid-December, when the island is deliciously quiet and holiday deals for all kinds of breaks – from budget package holidays to luxury Lanzarote getaways and all-inclusive Lanzarote holidays – are easy to come by.

Events for your diary

For something truly unforgettable, plan all-inclusive holidays to Lanzarote over Carnival in late February or early March (the dates change every year) and fling yourself into a manic sea of sequins.

Think street parties, outrageous parades, live music and a while fortnight of dancing till dawn. It’s guaranteed to get you high on life. Whatever you do, don’t miss the ritual burial of the giant sardine in the capital, Arrecife. It’s so strange you’ll think you’re seeing things.
