Lanzarote for nature lovers

Besides its magnificent beaches, Lanzarote has many protected areas that delight nature lovers and active tourism activities. Declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1993, volcanoes, lava seas and farmland make up landscapes of unrivalled beauty. Places as impressive as the Natural Park of the Volcanoes, the Timanfaya National Park, the Chinijo Archipelago National Park, the Cave of the Greens and the Jameos del Agua will leave you breathless. The aloe vera from Lanzarote is considered amongst the best ones. So if you have a private villa in Yaiza, ensure you spend the day at the nature centres.

1. Fall in love with the Cuevas de los Verdes

Admire a hidden gem of nature in the Haria municipality. This grotto, known as the green hole, is a 3.5-mile (5.63 km) tunnel formed after an eruption. The expert guides can take you through it, and you will have the opportunity to admire the interior and the incredible colours lighting up the walls. If you have a holiday rental in Playa Blanca, take the 40 minutes drive to explore the caves.

2. Visit the most famous natural park: Timanfaya

Timanfaya National Park is one of the most visited places in Lanzarote. Its appearance seems to be a reminder of the planet of Mars and leaves you in awe the minute you see it. This volcanic landscape was created due to the longest volcanic eruption in the world, lasted for six years and buried the most fertile farmland on the island. An exotic and totally different place where the power of the enormous eruption that generated it is still present in the steam jets of hot water emanating from holes dug in the Earth. If you have a villa for rent in Lanzorate, you can visit the national park early and spend the day exploring the rare landscape.

3. Visit the blind albino crabs in the Jameos del Agua

If you have a villa in Lanzarote north of the island, Jameos del Agua is one of the main attractions. It is formed by tropical gardens surrounding an underground lagoon, where absolute silence accompanies the blind albino crabs. When leaving the underground space, an extraordinary peace is transmitted to the visitor that helps to purify the soul and the spirit. Every traveller who visits them is amazed by this unique, exclusive and special natural gem.

4. El Golfo y la Laguna Verde

A must-visit place if you have a private villa in Lanzarote is the Gulf, a half-submerged cone of a volcano. Time has passed, and the sea has been eroding this cone, and currently, you can only see the wall of the crater that shows a variety of red tones. At the base of this wall is the Laguna Verde, an aqueous area inhabited by unique microorganisms that give the characteristic emerald green colour of this area. It’s one of the most beautiful areas of Lanzarote that is worth seeing.

5. Visit the Salinas de Janubio

A must-do activity in the southwest of the island is a tour of the Salinas de Janubio. These salt flats produce a special salt from the water pumped into the bay. A stroll along the black sand beach and the lagoon is perfect for a lovely day out. If you have a Lanzarote villa, the Salinas is a short drive away or within walking distance.

6. Make a visit to the Pearl of the Canary Islands

Take a day trip to La Graciosa, a small island north of Lanzarote. Take a ferry to the island and spend a day taking pleasant strolls, relaxing by the shore and enjoying a peaceful time with your dearest ones. Montaña Bermeja is the red mountain that lies as a backdrop in contrast with the azure waters of the ocean.

7. A trip to Costa Teguise

The east of the island is a great destination for families. Get a holiday letting in Costa-Teguise or go on a day trip from Lanzarote. In Costa Teguise, you can enjoy endless day activities for the whole family, including kayaking, SUP, snorkelling, diving, windsurfing, and sailing. Las Cucarachas Beach gives you a wide selection of these activities. For a relaxed day at the beach with the children, Playa Bastián is an ideal spot to build sandcastles. Lie down and read a good book under the Canary sun.
