Reasons To Visit Lanzarote Next Summer

Winter is firmly upon us and with it comes the wind, rain, and cold weather, leaving many of us in need of a getaway. There’s something about jetting off to sunnier climes when the weather at home’s cold and rainy that just makes it all the more satisfying. But where do you go in December or January if you’re looking for warmth, relaxation and don’t want to break the bank or travel too far? The answer is Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands. A beautiful destination around four hours flight time from the UK, it offers beautiful sunshine, stunning views and a plethora of things to do.

The beautiful volcanic landscape

Lanzarote benefits from a beautiful volcanic landscape that is simply beautiful and great to visit. We recommend heading to the Timanfaya National Park where you can really take in the stunning moon-like earthscape and take some fantastic photos! There are many volcanoes you can climb in the country, including the Volcan El Cuervo, the Caldera Blanca and the Volcán Montaña Colorada. Make sure you wear appropriate clothing and consider heading on a guided tour to get the most from your visit.

It’s not too expensive

Usually when jetting to a hot country in the winter you go to the Caribbean or somewhere similar and this is extremely expensive. Lanzarote is very reasonably priced in most areas, from the food and accommodation to the flights to get there. No matter what it is you’re looking for, you’re guaranteed to get a good deal. We recommend booking attractions ahead of time to save money too. 

There are so many places to stay

Whether you want to stay in a luxury resort hotel, a small boutique accommodation, your own villa or something else, there are a host of fantastic places to stay in Lanzarote. Do your research beforehand and find something that suits your budget, taste and the type of break you’re after.

It has a year round mild climate

Being so close to the equator, Lanzarote experiences a beautiful mild climate all year round. This means it’s the perfect place to go when you want to feel the sun on your skin and forget about the wild and rain battering your windows back home. In the space of four hours you can enter a completely different climate and get that much-needed Vitamin D! 

These are just a few reasons why you should visit Lanzarote this winter and why you’re guaranteed to have a fantastic time. Whether you’re looking to go abroad as a romantic break away with your other half, as a group holiday with friends, or away with your family, there truly is something for everyone here. You can enjoy a range of watersports, visit the beautiful volcanoes and feast on delicious cuisine. What are some reasons you are looking to visit Lanzarote?
