Luxury Holidays to Lanzarote

Sun-drenched and gold-lined, Lanzarote knows all about luxury holidays

Flight times from England to Lanzarote will have you in the air just over four hours, that means you’ll be living the high life in no time.

Year-round warmth means that every luxury Lanzarote holiday here is served with a side of sunshine. With secluded volcanic beaches and staggering mountain ranges, the entire island itself is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and forms the kind of gorgeous backdrop every indulgent holiday deserves.

The island’s coasts are sprinkled with 4* and 5* hotels, glitzy marinas and promenades decked with designer shops. At the area’s hotels, spas and slick pool scenes come as standard. Over in Playa Blanca you’ll find sophisticated beach cocktails and the modern-meets-stylish Marina Rubicon, while Puerto del Carmen is your go-to for star-studded restaurants – Michelin stars, of course. Everything in Lanzarote looks better in its sun-drenched weather, so if you think you know the Canary Islands, Lanzarote will make you think again.

Living the high life in Lanzarote

The scenery alone makes it’s hard not to feel spoiled in Lanzarote, yet upscale hotels and palm-lined waterfronts make it that much more luxurious.

Windswept and laid-back by nature, Costa Teguise is the holiday destination of choice for former Spanish royalty and politicians, so you can expect the royal treatment in this resort, deemed one of the most popular on the island. Puerto Calero on the other hand is loud and proud about its luxurious amenities, boasting a swanky marina nicknamed the ‘Millionaire’s Harbour’. Here you can expect to find yachts, ritzy restaurants and designer boutiques along a gold-plated coastline.
