Lanzarote is not an island which attracts the visitor only by its spectacular architecture with unusual features, it impacts the holiday-makers as well with a fascinating
nature coulisse from
volcanic origin.
Fuerteventura's neighbouring island
Lanzarote is the most dry of the Canary Islands.
Already attaining the
airport in the capital
Arrecife you can contemplate the
drought landscape similar to the Sahara desert and the
cliffy coast.
The white sanded
beaches are the real jewel of Lanzarotes, situated over all in the south near the tourist areas as
Playa del Carmen,
Playa Blanca and
Costa Teguise. These quite recent tourist places allocate mass tourism although no building was allowed to higher than two storeys to protect the landscape.
A
hotel which meets your expectacions is possible in any price range. Choose beteween
hotels like
San Antonio or
Corbeta.
As well the
Adlon, Palace, Maritime or
Four Seasons hotel on Lanzarote are recommended. The
accomodations in the area of
Puerto del Carmen are frequented a lot because of the
lively night life and the number of
restaurants and
bars you can find along the seaside.
The area of
Costa Teguise is very suitable for
families, there many
hotels offer a good
animation programme and
child care, while parents can find their peace and relax.
The holiday-maker who prefers to eavesdrop the silence will find an adequate accomodation in a finca or
holiday cottage. These are scattered all over the isle so that the perfect ambiance can be found enjoying the sunset with a good glass of the local wine.
Of course the advantage of a
private residence is obvious - the kind contact to the local culture and people and the calmness compared with touristic complexes.
