There are plenty of reasons to select Lanzarote for your summer holiday this year. As the third most popular Canary Island not only offers great weather and unique scenery but also represents great value for money by comparison with many other Spanish holiday hot spots.
The Canaries collectively welcome close to 9 million tourists every year – making them the second most popular region in Spain after Catalonia. And Lanzarote is visited by about 1.4 million of these visitors annually. The bulk of them arriving on flights from the UK, Germany and Eire.
Holidays in Lanzarote have long been a fixture in the brochures of most leading travel agents and tour operators. With big names such as Thomas Cook, Thomson’s and First Choice all offering a variety of packages on the island. Whilst flights to Lanzarote have never been cheaper thanks to increased competition on the route between budget airlines such as Ryanair and easyJet. With returns now available from as little as €100.
Whilst around 50% of all visitors opt to stay in hotels or apartment complexes the remainder book private rental accommodation. As Lanzarote villas are much cheaper to rent than comparable properties on other holiday islands such as Mallorca and Ibiza. Due largely to the fact that Lanzarote has a year round season whereas on other island this is restricted to just a few months of the year. Either way though this still helps to reduce the cost of a break on the island considerably – with standard villa with pools available from as little as €400 per week.
Aside from offering excellent value for money and great weather Lanzarote also provides visitors with loads of things to do and see. There are close to one hundreds great beaches to explore, along with picturesque villages and towns such as Yaiza and Teguise. The latter being the former island capital and home to hundreds of historic buildings.
Lanzarote´s real star attraction though is the Timanfaya National Park, home to hundreds of spent volcanoes, which were first created by eruptions in the 18th century. The scenery here is so surreal and dramatic that it provides the perfect location for moviemakers. And most recently Warner’s new release Clash of the Titans was partly filmed here. The island is also easy to explore as car hire in Lanzarote is very cheap and the roads are quiet and safe.
