And as if that wasn’t enough, and because we love this Canarian paradise so much, we’re going to give you a few tips to help you make the most of your stay here. Let’s turn this somewhat worn-out (sometimes reviled) term on its head, and make coming to Lanzarote as a tourist one of the most unforgettable experiences you’ve ever had. Either way, the island alone will captivate you.
1. Plan your schedule and book in advance.
The Canary Islands, in general, are a highly acclaimed tourist destination at any time of the year. And the same is true of Lanzarote in particular. A place to fall in love with for its otherworldly beauty, its exuberant nature, its dream beaches, its traditions, its people… In short, every corner has its charm. That’s why it’s important to plan your agenda well if you want to get to know everything and enjoy your favourite activities. For the latter, it is highly advisable to book in advance, to avoid unnecessary waiting or even to avoid running out of space. Bear in mind that many of these activities (guided tours, boat trips, water sports, etc.) tend to be very popular, especially in summer.
On the other hand, to have the freedom to explore the island at your own pace, a good option is to hire a car. This will allow you to reach remote places and give you more flexibility during your trip. If you do it in advance, you can also find more variety and better prices.
2. Explore the geographical contrasts of Lanzarote
It is clear that one of the reasons for tourism in Lanzarote is to enjoy its unique landscapes. And when we say ‘unique’, it is because we mean just that. Its variety of contrasts is almost as enormous as its scenic beauty. From golden sandy beaches to volcanic trails, magical caves to picturesque vineyards. Be sure to explore both the coast and the interior of the island. Don’t miss emblematic places such as the Timanfaya National Park, the Jameos del Agua, the Cueva de los Verdes or the César Manrique Foundation. And of course, we advise you to discover the lesser-known beaches, such as Playa de Papagayo and Playa Famara Explore the lesser-known beaches. Yes, the most popular beaches such as Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen are very beautiful, but the others also have an undeniable charm. By the way, at Sabbia Suites we have accommodation to suit you in different parts of the island. So that you can choose your favourite and start your island adventure.
3. Don’t miss the local gastronomy
One of the attractions of tourism in Lanzarote is to try its delicious gastronomy. Peculiar, exquisite, authentic, local and local. Enjoy Canarian cuisine in all its essence, including such emblematic dishes as mojo picón, papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) and irresistible fresh fish. In addition, you can’t miss the Lanzarote wine, a unique wine due to the genuine methods of cultivation in volcanic ash.
4. Enjoy the wide variety of outdoor activities available.
Lanzarote is perfect for activities such as hiking, cycling, and everything to do with nature and active tourism. Of course, the variety of water sports is also remarkable. Sport fishing, boat trips, diving, kitesurfing, surfing… The latter often attracts surfers from all over the world, impressed by the beauty of the island and the marvellous waves on beaches as beautiful as Famara or La Santa. We can’t forget the annual Ironman, for the most daring. So, make the most of the warm climate and the breathtaking views of this Canarian paradise.
5. Immerse yourself in the picturesque local markets.
The charm of local markets almost everywhere is unquestionable. Just imagine what they are like in Lanzarote. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit these places, a portrait of local culture and traditions. We highlight, for example, the Teguise Market, where you can find fresh produce, handicrafts and unique souvenirs. Visit the local businesses as well; it is a unique opportunity to interact with the locals. You will learn about their culture and lifestyle and enjoy your stay on the island even more.
6. Take advantage of cultural events
It is true that the way to do tourism in Lanzarote depends a lot on the tastes of each person. But if you are one of those who like to immerse yourself in the culture of the place (apart from relaxing and having fun) we have to recommend that you try to attend a local event or celebration. You’ll get more out of your holiday on the island. Of course, you will have to plan ahead, as we said at the beginning. So that you can fit in your agenda. Lanzarote hosts numerous fiestas and festivals throughout the year, from traditional celebrations to musical and sporting events to suit all tastes. A small recommendation: as in any tourist destination, it is important to respect the local rules and traditions of Lanzarote at all times. Regardless of whether we like them more or less. This way you will always have a better time.
7. Respect the environment
Finally, and with regard to this particular point, we cannot leave behind another piece of advice, which we already know, but on which we must insist relentlessly. Take care of and respect the environment. And leave it as you found it, or even better if possible. This island is a protected place because of its unquestionable natural beauty. So, when you come to Lanzarote as a tourist, do everything you can to preserve the island for future generations, and you win too. You gain from it too. Are you coming to Lanzarote as a tourist?
