Resort Information
THE ISLAND
LANZAROTE, situated
approximately 95kms off the west coast of North Africa, is a volcanic island
rising out of the deep Atlantic Ocean. It is the most northerly of the 7 Canary
Islands and is on the same latitude as Florida and the Red Sea. Lanzarote
benefits from a sub-tropical climate with more days of sunshine and fewer days
of rain than the other Canary Islands.
Being a volcanic island, the landscape is both dramatic and contrasting and
offers the visitor a wide variety of interesting sights by day and night. Only
about 45kms long and around 18kms at its widest point, the island is famous for
its lunar landscape of almost 300 volcanoes. Views of volcanic mountains, picon
covered fields and rocky coastlines are broken up by a large number of golden
sandy beaches and an amazing amount of well attended greenery and agriculture.
The island has been designated by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve.
There are 3 main holiday centres on Lanzarote - Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise
and Playa Blanca. Puerto Calero is a new developing resort based around the
marina complex. Puerto del Carmen is an established resort with a wide variety
of shops, restaurants and entertainment. A number of carefully developed tourist
attractions are located throughout the island, and the beautiful, natural
beaches of golden sand are not to be missed! You will find that Lanzarote is a
holiday destination for the whole family
