If the snow and freezing weather wasn’t enough here’s five good reasons for jetting off on a holiday to the sunshine island of Lanzarote. Which is located in the Canary Islands off the Atlantic coast of Africa.
Weather
If there’s one thing that British holidaymakers want to see most when they arrive at a foreign destination it is usually the sun. As a nation obsessed with the weather this only seems to intensify once abroad. Especially for anyone who has booked a holiday during the winter months to escape the grey and cold of the UK.
The weather in Lanzarote is very good all year round. Thanks to the islands location off the coast of Africa which creates a semi tropical climate. As a result visitors can enjoy days on the beach or by the pool even in December and January.
At the same time Lanzarote is just a four hour flight from the UK. So it is also much closer than any far flung winter sun destinations such as the Caribbean. And consequently offers far better value for money.
Accommodation
This is especially true when it comes to booking accommodation in Lanzarote. As the island offers people the chance to get away without the hefty bill associated with s stay at Sandy Lane in Barbados.
Apartments in lanzarote offer the cheapest option – as these can be booked from as little as £180 per week. Whilst villas and hotels are also much more reasonably priced than in many other holiday destinations.
Beaches
Lanzarote has arguably the best beaches of any of the Canary Islands – and many other holiday islands too come to that.
There are over 90 to explore and some of them are right up there with the best in Europe. Such as the large bay and beach at Famara in the north. Best of all the vast majority of the beaches on Lanzarote are made up of golden sands rather than the black grains common on other Canary Islands.
Attractions
For a small island Lanzarote offers a surprisingly large amount things to do and see. A key reason why so many visitors to the island keep coming back for more.
The creations of César Manrique enchant many tourists – whilst there are few sights as awe inspiring as the Timanfaya National Park. Home to hundreds of volcanoes and mile after mile of lava fields. All of which were forged by massive eruptions some 250 years ago.
