7 Nights Lanzarote, Canary Islands - 3* Labranda El Dorado Lanzarote

Lanzarote, Canaries Holidays

Lanzarote is the most eastern of the Canary Islands. As with the rest of the Canary Islands, it is volcanic in origin, which gives it an unusual and fascinating landscape. In fact, the island has a UNESCO Biosphere protected status. Local building regulations prohibit any high-rise buildings, so all you’ll find are low-rise white-washed resorts.

Beaches & Nature 

The beaches in Lanzarote offer a mixture of white, golden and black sand, all usually accompanied by a pleasant sea breeze. From large sprawling beaches to small coves, there is plenty to choose from. Water sports, especially windsurfing, are very popular in Lanzarote.

The Timanfaya National Park, including Fire Mountain, is probably the most visited attraction on the island. A 17th-century volcanic eruption destroyed the whole southern region of the island and left an eerie, lunar-like landscape in its place.

Shopping

Lanzarote, as with the rest of the Canary Islands, is free, so plenty of shopping opportunities for you! Electrical goods, tobacco, alcohol and perfumes are the best bargains. There are numerous boutiques, supermarkets, souvenir shops and shopping centres in the island resorts. Local markets are also popular, especially in Costa Teguise, which hosts the island's largest open-air market every Sunday.

Nightlife

While Lanzarote is considered a quieter island in terms of nightlife than its Canarian counterpart, Tenerife, there are still plenty of sports bars and family bars to choose from. With a few discos around too! Irish bars are popular, where you’ll nearly always find live music.
