There is something magical about Lanzarote. Its moon-like volcanic landscape, black beaches and clear blue waters sometimes make you feel like you’re on another planet. Lanzarote is one of the Canary Islands and here you can relax and enjoy the sun all year round. But there is more to the island! Architect and artist César Manrique is not only the brains behind the special attractions on the island, he has also personally ensured that high-rise buildings are prohibited on the island. So you can count on white houses with a background of volcanic landscape. Plan the perfect sun-drenched holiday to Lanzarote with Transavia Holidays.

Planning a holiday to Lanzarote? In addition to a wonderful climate, you will find incredibly beautiful sights on the island. Discover the most stunning creations of César Manrique, such as Jardin de Cactus, the viewpoint Mirador del Río and the majestic architectural ensemble Monumento al Campesino. The fact that Lanzarote is a volcanic island can clearly be seen in the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya. In this extraordinary place you will find more than 50 square kilometres of dried-up lava and black lunar landscape. Fun fact: the on-site restaurant uses the natural heat of the volcano to cook vegetables, meat and fish.
Are you a beach lover? Then Lanzarote is your perfect holiday destination. To find a beautiful stretch of white-sand beach and crystal clear waters, head to Playa Caleton Blanco. Another beach where you can easily entertain yourself all day is Playa de las Cucharas; here, the sunbeds, cosy bars and swaying palm trees complete the tropical picture. If you’re looking for a more vibrant atmosphere, visit Puerto del Carmen: not only is the beach fantastic here, but you will also find a bustling harbour, a lively boulevard and the old town centre.

And of course, if you haven’t yet seen a black volcanic beach, your visit to Lanzarote is incomplete: the view from El Golfo beach is definitely worth checking out.
Venture out of Lanzarote for a day to visit the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. Take the boat from Playa Blanca, in the south of Lanzarote, to Corralejo, in the north of Fuerteventura, and you’ll be there within half an hour. Marvel at the huge sand dunes of El Jable or explore the caves near the picturesque fishing village of Ajuy. Looking for more action? How about sailing, surfing, snorkelling or diving? Thanks to the many lava reefs, sandy plateaus and shipwrecks around the island, diving here is a real treat.
