Make Memories That Will Last a Lifetime With A Lanzarote Holiday

Looking for an exotic vacation? A Lanzarote Holiday may be just the thing for you. Lanzarote is the easternmost island in the Canary island chain.  I also like the Maldives but that is for another day.  The beaches of Lanzarote are some of the best in the world and the volcanic landscape is captivating and mysterious.

The island is located about 100 km from the African coast and enjoys the strong African sun over 200 days per year. The Atlantic keeps the beaches relatively cool in the summer and the sun keeps them warm during the winter. Lanzarote is a great place to visit almost anytime of year.

Aside from the beaches the Timanfaya National Park is one of the top attractions of the area. In the park you can catch glimpses of the islands fiery volcanic past and as well as its present. From the native succulent plants, the Canary pine, and the wild olive trees there is a reason Lanzarote is a UNESCO biosphere reserve.

Along with the fabulous scenery you can also engage in all forms of adrenaline activities, like kite surfing or spend your days at one of the local wineries.

Some of the more popular Lanzarote holiday areas include:

The Eastern Canary Best Beaches, Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca

Costa Teguise: close to Arrecife and the historic inland town of Teguise, this part of the island has sandy bays and coves backed by volcanic peaks. It’s a famous destination for windsurfing, kitesurfing, golf and there is a water fun park for the kids.

Puerto del Carmen is the most popular holiday destination in Lanzarote with a gleaming beach, a wide harbor offering site seeing trips and a long sleepy boulevard lined with some of the best seafood restaurants and shopping on the island.

Playa Blanca has is one of the newest developments on the island and with its golden beaches it is a jewel on the southern coast. It has managed to retain that intimate away from it all feeling.

Nearby the sands of Papagayo beckon with tropical allure, calling from secluded coves bordered by inviting calm beaches.

One of the best ways to see the island is on a Green Lanzarote Vacation. And if getting there is a concern travel from Europe is a short flight compared with other common travel destinations. Because of the numerous days of sun Lanzarote has been a quick convert to Solar Panels, which can be seen regularly on the island. If golfing is your forte you can rest assured knowing that the islands 2 golf courses use recycled water to to reduce impact.

If you travel to the island another popular tourist attraction and source of much island pride are the creations of César Manrique. The internationally recognized architect has constructed seven centers of culture and art to share the magic, mystery, and history of Lanzarote with visitors. The centers were designed in César Manrique fashion to be in harmony with the environment.

Manrique’s wisdom after returning from a stint in New York City lead him to work with the government of Lanzarote to protect many of the islands natural habitats and keep development in check. He saw the promise of tourism and the potential that it has to reshape an economy but he also witnessed the scarring effect that too much development can have on a beautiful landscape.

These previously mentioned factors along with the laundry list of fabulous outdoor activities make a Lanzarote holiday high on the list for the environmentally conscious. There are many environmentally friendly guest houses and hostels on the island.

So, if you are looking for the trip of a lifetime a Lanzarote holiday could be right up your alley. With so many things to see and do book your ticket today.
