Lanzarote Holidays

Lanzarote, the fourth-largest of the Canary Islands, is a stunning island of volcanic origins, featuring striking landscapes and pristine beaches. 139,000 people live in Lanzarote, and it is part of Spain and the European Union.

The official language in Lanzarote is Spanish, though English is widely understood as it is a major tourist destination for Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Lanzarote is the perfect destination to soak up the sun in both winter and summer as it boasts year-round warm weather, it’s within the same timezone as Ireland and you don’t have to worry about currency exchange.

Lanzarote was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1993, so its natural wonders draw millions of tourists each year. From its rugged, volcanic mountains to its powdery white-sand beaches to its crystal clear waters, Lanzarote features some of the most diverse and beautiful scenery in the world.
