Lanzarote's sights

The island is brimming with amazing sights. Discover César Manrique's creations, like his last big project on the island: Jardin de Cactus. The name says it all, but between Lanzarote's volcanic landscape you'll find at least 500 different species of cacti in this garden. Or, immerse yourself in the surroundings at the Mirador del Río viewpoint. Here, you'll be amazed by the spectacular landscape and the Atlantic Ocean. You can even see La Graciosa, the 8th Canary Island. Are you into art? Then visit the enormous artwork that is Monumento al Campesino. Many of the sights are located a short distance away from the hotels that Transavia Holidays offers, making it easy to explore all the hotspots.

The loveliest places in Lanzarote are out of this world!

The fact that Lanzarote is a volcanic island is reflected in the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya. You'll find over 50 square kilometres of dried-up lava in this incredible place, which makes it look like a black moon landscape. Here, you'll marvel at the volcano cones and sputtering geysers. A truly out-of-world experience! Fun fact: the accompanying restaurants uses the volcano's heat to prepare vegetables, meat, and fish.

Deep underground hides Cuave de los verdes. This imposing cave system has arisen from the volcanic eruptions from over 3,000 years ago. Unique shapes and colours created by lava appear here.

Lanzarote's beaches: a unique mix

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 from your hotel to Playa Caleton Blanco or Playa de las Cucharas. The sunbeds, cosy bars, and swaying palm trees complete the tropical picture. We also highly recommend Puerto del Carmen. Not only is the beach fantastic here, but you will also find a bustling harbour, a lively promenade, and the old town centre. Perfect for a night out. Haven't seen the a black volcanic beach? The El Golfo fishers' village will treat you to spectacular views.

What is there to do in Lanzarote?

There is so much to experience in Lanzarote! Wander between the many volcano craters or hop in a buggy for an off-road tour. You can't miss the Museo Atlantico during your holiday in Lanzarote. This is a unique experience, because this museum is located under water, surprisingly enough! Here, you'll venture into a snorkelling discovery of the many amazing statues. Think you've seen everything in Lanzarote? Grab a boat from Playa Blanca in southern Lanzarote and head to Corralejo in the north of the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. The tour only lasts half an hour. Admire the enormous sand dunes of El Jable or discover the caves by the Ajuy fishers' village. Looking for more action? Try a new water sport. Thanks to the many lava cliffs, sand flats, and shipwrecks around the island, diving is a real adventure here.

The weather in Lanzarote: always sunny

Looking for a sunny destination? Lanzarote is the place to be! Lanzarote has a very dry climate compared to the other Canary Islands. Because of this, rain in summer is almost non-existent and it rains only occasionally in winter.

Thanks to this island's good location, you can enjoy pleasant temperatures and sun all year round. The temperature rises from June onwards to at least 25°C every day. In the peak months of August and September, the temperature often climbs to 30°C.

In the winter months, the afternoon temperature ranges between 22°C and 26°C. These temperatures and the delightful winter sun make it suitable for an active exploration of the island. The water temperature is quite chilly during this period, but fortunately, most hotels have a heated swimming pool.
