[2025 Las Palmas Attraction] Travel Guide for Lanzarote (Updated May)

Location: Lanzarote is situated off of mainland Africa and is part of the Spanish Canary Islands, not named from the bird, but from the Latin word for dogs. Due to it's geographical location, the island receives beautiful sunny days with gusts of wind to cool you down. Things to do: whilst lounging by the pool may be on your to do list on such a sunny island, there are also many activities you can do outside of your hotel, like hiking mountains and volcanoes, scuba diving in the shallow waters off the beach, snorkelling, boat rides and experiencing local culture such as dancing. I highly recommend this island if you want sun and adventure. #beachlife #summervacation #awesomepic

villa Amonita, Lanzarote One of the joys of traveling is experiencing unique "homes" in different places, homes I could likely never own. I've always enjoyed staying by the sea when visiting islands, but this time I chose a guesthouse by the volcano. The owners are a Czech architect couple, and the decorative posters in their home showcase their photography📸 from their travels around the world. The guesthouse is located in the small town of Tiagua⛰️ in central Lanzarote, within easy driving distance of all the attractions. Feel free to pick and enjoy the fruits and vegetables growing in the yard. On our first day, we were surprised to find a little hedgehog already enjoying the beautiful pool. Not far from the house is a small supermarket run by locals. On evenings when we didn't want to eat out, we'd walk over and, despite the language barrier, manage to buy a pack of freshly sliced Iberico ham. Back at the guesthouse, we'd enjoy it with melon and the white wine gifted by the owners, watching the summer evening breeze carry the sunset🌄 down behind the volcano.

Puerto del Carmen, nestled on the sun-soaked island of Lanzarote, is an absolute gem that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by its charm, stunning landscapes, and the warm hospitality of its people. The beaches are, without a doubt, the highlight of this vibrant destination. Playa Grande, with its golden sands and crystal-clear waters, is perfect for relaxing or swimming. For those seeking adventure, Playa Chica offers excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities, revealing a mesmerizing underwater world. The Avenida de las Playas promenade is another standout feature. Stretching along the coastline, it is dotted with an array of cafes, restaurants, and shops. Whether you’re enjoying fresh seafood with an ocean view or picking up a unique souvenir, there’s something for everyone. The nightlife here is equally lively, with bars and clubs offering a fun yet laid-back atmosphere. What truly sets Puerto del Carmen apart is its blend of natural beauty and accessibility. You can explore the nearby Timanfaya National Park to witness the otherworldly volcanic landscapes or take a stroll through the quaint Old Town harbor, where traditional fishing boats bob alongside stylish yachts. The town is also incredibly welcoming to families, couples, and solo travelers alike. The locals are friendly, the streets are clean, and there’s a great sense of safety throughout. Plus, the weather is glorious year-round, making it a perfect escape any time. In short, Puerto del Carmen offers the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and culture. Whether you’re there for the beaches, the food, or the stunning scenery, you’re bound to leave with unforgettable memories. I can’t wait to return to this magical place!

#europetrip Lanzarote, the easternmost gem of Spain’s Canary Islands, is a place where nature flaunts its raw, untamed beauty. With its volcanic origins and unique terrain, the island offers landscapes that feel more like a journey to another planet than a simple vacation. At the heart of Lanzarote is Timanfaya National Park, a surreal expanse of volcanic craters, lava fields, and blackened rock formations. This “Fire Mountains” area was shaped by eruptions in the 18th century, and its dramatic, barren beauty is nothing short of mesmerizing. Visitors can explore this Martian-like environment via guided bus tours or camel rides, marveling at the vivid reds, oranges, and blacks of the volcanic earth. Another natural wonder is Jameos del Agua, a stunning cave system formed from ancient lava flows. With its underground lake, lush greenery, and artistic touches by local architect César Manrique, it’s a perfect blend of geology and creativity. Lanzarote’s coastlines are equally breathtaking. The turquoise waters of Papagayo Beach contrast sharply with the surrounding golden cliffs, creating a picture-perfect retreat. El Golfo, a striking green lagoon set in a volcanic crater, is another must-see—its vibrant hue is almost too surreal to believe. With its dramatic contrasts, endless natural wonders, and unspoiled beauty, Lanzarote feels like stepping into a living masterpiece. Whether you’re hiking through volcanic terrain or relaxing on a pristine beach, the island’s landscapes are sure to leave you in awe.
