Lanzarote is the fourth largest of the Canary Islands and sits just 79 kilometres off the coast of Africa and the edge of the Sahara desert. It is because of its location that it enjoys year round warmth and sunshine and is a favourite holiday destination for europeans all your round.
Lanzarote is a location of choice for many families.
Not only does the weather attract families, looking for a warm, relaxing vacation but also the relative safeness of the island and resorts. There is also plenty to do on Lanzarote, for all ages. There are many sports complexes for kids that are competitive by nature and the hotels and aparthotels all cater for children of all ages with their selection of activities, from swimming pools to tennis courts. Many hotels also have their own ‘kids club’ where the children can spend their days taking part in supervised activities with other kids.
Outside of the hotels, there are many safe and sandy beaches on Lanzarote, and despite rumours they are not all black sand. In fact some of the golden coastline of Lanzarote has some of the clearest waters you may have seen for a while and it is really easy to spot schools of fish swimming around, especially nearer rocky areas.
For the children of a more academic nature, there is plenty to find out about the history of the island - for example take a visit to the famous Timanfaya National Park or visit some of the natural attractions created by the late Caesar Manrique.
For families that like a more extreme holiday you can take a trip up to the North of the Island to Famara. Famara is famous for its kite surfing and wind surfing. Sometimes, under the large cliffs at Famara, the weather may be a little darker and wetter up on the coast, but that doesn’t stop people donning a wet suite and taking to the waters!
If you want to slow the pace of your holiday down a little, then why not sample some of the many bars and restaurants on the island. The majority are family friendly and welcome children and if you opt for a restaurant on the sea front you can enjoy the views and sounds of the ocean whilst you eat.
Lanzarote really has something for everyone - from adults, to teenagers to younger children and makes for the ideal location for a family holiday.
