Holidays in Lanzarote

Lanzarote or the island of 100 volcanoes is part of the Canari Islands and is situation near to the African coast. If you are looking for great weather then this is a destination well worth considering as the climate is generally dry with very little rain. Average temperature in January is 17c rising up to 24c in July and August so expect warm days and lots of sun.

The beaches are gorgeous and the island itself is a Nature Reserve and protected zone so expect lots of unspoilt scenery. No high rise buildings or billboards are allowed which is a relief from the bombardment of advertising usually faced when on holiday.

There are loads of things to see and do throughout the island so if you get fed up of lying on the beach you won't be short of alternative entertainment. The landscape can get quite surreal and has been described as moon like due to its volcanic origins.

The night life is a bit more sedate than some of the other islands but the younger visitor will not be disappointed as there are plenty of bars and clubs in all the main resorts. Lanzarote offers some of the best diving available with numerous species of fish, wrecks, underwater volcanic caves and excellent visibility. Many of the popular dive sites are easily accessible and there are plenty of companies willing to introduce you to the ocean floor.

Overall this is an island well worth a visit for its interesting landscape, beautiful beaches and crystal clear seas. Plenty to see and do for families, couples or singles and lots of sun almost all year round.
