The Island

Lanzarote is situated just 70 miles off the coast of Africa and is the most easterly of the Canary Islands. The island is 37 miles (60km) long and 12 miles (20 km) wide, making it the fourth largest island in the Canaries.

Lanzarote enjoys a mild dry climate with average daytime temperatures ranging from about 21°C in January to 29°C in August. Annual rainfall is just 140mm (5.5 inches). This makes Lanzarote the perfect year-round destination.


As with the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote is Volcanic in origin. Due to the recent eruptions during the 18th and 19th Centuries, many parts of Lanzarote appear to be from another world, often described as 'lunar' or 'Martian', so much so that parts of 'Planet of the Apes' were shot here.
The dry climate (and lack of erosion) means that the Volcanic Landscape appears much as it did just after the eruptions.

Amongst the many stunning Volcanic features of Lanzarote is the longest Volcanic Tunnel in the world, the Atlantida Tunnel, which is over 7 km long and includes the La Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua.

Despite the Volcanic nature of the island, Lanzarote has several beautiful white beaches

 

Costa Teguise

Is one of the main tourist resorts of Lanzarote featuring an excellent selection of shops, bars and restaurants.

Costa Teguise also features a wide range of sporting activities, from the most varied marine activities that can be enjoyed from its incredible beaches (diving, windsurfing, sailing deep sea fishing etc.) to golf and an aquatic park.

The largest white beach, 'Las Cucharas' is well known for its optimal conditions for wind surfers, but also for holiday makers and families who wish to relax in placid surroundings.

The resort also has the only golf course on Lanzarote and a large water park offering a multitude of aquatic rides. Overall it is a great resort for those who just want to get away and relax while at the same time offers a multitude of activities associated with any modern resort.
