Situated in the Atlantic Ocean and only some 100 km (60 miles) from the coast of Africa and 1,000 km from the Iberian Peninsula, Lanzarote is the most easterly of the seven major Canary Islands.

Lanzarote has an ideal climate all year round, with an average temperature of 23 degrees centigrade and up to 11 sunshine hours in June

Lanzarote really has something for everyone. With a host of water sports such as snorkelling, swimming or scuba-diving in the cool Atlantic Ocean, you'll find no end of things to enjoy.

Explore the beautiful and enchanting bays of Playa de Papagayo and discover the wonderful beaches that Lanzarote has to offer.

The famous lunar landscape, which is the subject of many Hollywood movies, gently absorbs the traditional white-washed buildings which sympathetically blend in.

Discover the underground caves at Jameos del Agua and experience the 'son et lumière' in the tunnels of the Cueva de los Verdes. How about a camel ride to the Fire Mountain in Timanfaya National Park?

Take in the amazing sunset against the rugged landscape and then prepare to enjoy your evening.

Playa Blanca offers a friendly, relaxing, yet vibrant nightlife with a range of bars, restaurants and night clubs to cater for all tastes. Perhaps you would prefer to visit Costa Teguise which has a selection of shops and sports facilities.

You must visit the Sunday market to take in the atmosphere and buy lace, leather and other crafts.

Then try the excellent seafood restaurants around the old harbour at Puerto del Carmen where you can enjoy a selection of traditional dishes, washed down by a generous serving of wine.

Top it all by returning to your luxury villa where you can sleep off all of that glorious food and awake refreshed to start all over again.
