Lanzarote Tourist Information

Welcome to Lanzarote Guidebook – the comprehensive and in-depth Lanzarote tourist guide.

Lanzarote is the eastern most of the seven Spanish owned Canary Islands and is located just 80 miles off the North West coast of Africa. Creating a fantastic, clement climate that is often likened to an eternal spring, with little in the way of rainfall and lots of sunshine all year round. These conditions make Lanzarote the ideal holiday destination whatever the time of year.

Lanzarote is around four hours flying time from the UK and Eire, making it the closest genuine winter sun destination to home. And the island boasts the most amazing volcanic scenery, forged by eruptions during the 1730´s that went on for six years and which left about one quarter of the island submerged beneath a sea of solid black lava. There are also close to 100 beaches – most of which are made up of golden grains rather than the black sands common on other Canary Islands and some of which, such as Famara and Papagayo are regarded as amongst the most beautiful in the archipelago.

Lanzarote has lots more to offer than just great weather, beaches and scenery alone though, as the island is also home to the many creations of the famous local artist and architect Cesar Manrique. Who created six Centres of Art, Culture and Tourism – such as the Jameos del Agua and the Mirador del Rio - which successfully fuse the rugged landscapes of Lanzarote with his own amazing creativity.

There are three main tourist resorts on Lanzarote – Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen. As well as the fast emerging ‘fourth resort’ of Puerto Calero, often referred to as the Millionaires Marina located close to Puerto del Carmen. And you can read in depth guides to each of these to find out which is the right choice for your holiday in Lanzarote. Along with information about all of the towns, villages and resorts. Lanzarote is also an ideal launch pad for island hopping, as both Fuerteventura and La Graciosa are near neighbours and a short ferry ride away.

As well as helping you to catch up on all of the latest island news and events Lanzarote Guidebook can also be downloaded as a free, portable tourist guide and magazine, which is packed with the same in depth information and high quality visuals as you´ll find here online.

Our website has also been created with the independent traveller in mind, so you can search for holiday accommodation and book Lanzarote villas, Lanzarote apartments and hotels in Lanzarote direct online. Or if you are one of the many tourists who fall in love with the island you can also browse our Lanzarote property pages, which feature a selection of thousands of properties for sale across the island.

So come and explore Lanzarote for yourself, it´s an amazing destination and we hope that our guide to Lanzarote helps you get the most out of your holiday here.
