Often we explain that London is closer to Madrid than we are, Lanzarote is located approx 100 km (62 miles) from the Western Sahara, we are nowhere near Spain. Why do we explain that… Well, we get 330 days a year of sunshine, and we have never had snow here on Lanzarote. Our average daytime temperatures are 19–21 degrees in the winter. Our daytime temperatures in the summer are often in the mid to high 30’s.

We have very little crime here and you can safely holiday as a family or as a solo traveller. We have flights every day of the week, all year round from many European destinations and have several budget airlines to choose from for a flight which suits your travel requirements.

Our island has a unique and stark natural beauty, the volcanic terrain is often compared to the luna landscape, while to the north there’s a gentle greenness. The south is home to some of the best beaches, while throughout the island the influence from César Manrique demonstrates how man can work with nature with extraordinary results. In fact, UNESCO has given the island World Biosphere Reserve status, in order to protect it.

Despite the Volcanic nature of the island, Lanzarote has several beautiful white beaches which are natural. We also have the black volcanic sand beaches which are mainly in the south west of the island. The island offers great surf at Famara which is an all-round activity and is not restricted to seasons. We also have windsurfing at Costa Teguise and world-class sports training facilities at Club La Santa. Local authority regulations restrict and monitor the style of development which is allowed, which also means that there are no billboard advertising and no high-rise buildings on Lanzarote (with the exception of the Gran Hotel in Arrecife).
