Lanzarote - a land shaped by volcanic forces

The ancient volcanic island of Lanzarote, easternmost of the Canaries, was reshaped nearly three centuries ago by the largest eruption in recent history, and the landscape it has left behind is truly extraordinary. 32 new volcanoes were created, covering a quarter of the island with lava, and today you can still see the solidified lava streams.

Successively home to the Phoenicians, the Greeks, the Portuguese and the Ottoman Empire, Lanzarote has a fascinating cultural history to go with its unique geology. The island is also home to a spectacular variety of plant life.

Where we stay
Set in Playa Blanca, in the south of the island, this apartment styled hotel is a departure from our usual style. All apartments are one-bed roomed, and have a lounge and bathroom. Single guests have sole occupancy of an apartment. Playa Blanca is well located for the majority of our locations, and using a hotel of this style enables us to offer these holidays at a very competitive price.
