Also known as ‘Fire Island’ or the island of ‘Red Mountains’, Lanzarote sits off the coast of Africa in the Canary Islands archipelago and has been receiving visitors for over 3,000 years. The Phoenicians were the first to settle there, in relatively modest numbers, but now over 5.5 million people flock to the island each year. It’s not just the diverse flora and fauna or the intriguing volcanic countryside that attracts people to this captivating isle; a romantic ambiance permeates both the landscape and culture.

The temperate rarely drops below 20°C, so guests can expect to find great weather all year round. Those looking to soak up the sun in some privacy will not find it difficult to find the perfect secluded spot on the beach.

The northern region of the island is covered with lush palm valleys, while in the south a volcanic wonderland awaits. The island has been protected by local authorities, who have imposed strict planning and building regulations, allow Lanzarote to retain its natural beauty. The booming tourist trade is still supported by the island’s infrastructure, though.
