Browse the latest deals on Lanzarote holidays at The Co-operative Travel.  Lanzarote is one of the larger Canary Islands and benefits from all-year round sun. Showing clear signs of its volcanic, red-hot origins the Lanzarote landscape is more like a moonscape! Jagged, weather-beaten lava flows give way to eroded black soil and on the beaches dark sands. However, it’s the climate not the terrain that draws the majority of visitors to this gorgeous isle.

Holidays to Lanzarote are devoted to enjoying the sun. This is not a place to visit if you wish to undertake serious sightseeing. Beach, pool, bar and restaurant are orders of the day and rest and relaxation take prominence. However, if you do feel the urge to omit sun-bathing for a day or two of your Lanzarote holidays the Timanfaya National Park offers on the west coast offers a glimpse at one of the most bizarre, desolate and eye-popping landscapes that you will witness on earth.

Other options for spending a day away from sun-bathing include shopping or getting a bit sporty. Alternative retail therapy is in plentiful supply in the capital Arrecife or any of the numerous malls in the main resorts where bargains abound, especially on leather goods. Even luxurious all-inclusive breaks can be converted to cheap holidays to Lanzarote when you calculate all the savings from your shopping!

When it comes to sporting options the recent completion of a brand new golf course just outside Puerto Calero has instantly doubled the number available on the island. There’s also the chance to indulge in a spot of deep-sea fishing as boats with rods for hire operate out of most of the ports along the east coast.

Package holidays to Lanzarote tend to focus on three locations. Costa Teguise on the north-east of the island just to the north of Arrecife which has a well-developed tourist infrastructure including trendy bars, clubs and a range of restaurants. To the south of Arrecife also on the east coast is the cluster of resorts around Puerto Del Carmen including Playa De Las Pocillos, Tias and Puerto Calero. Playa Blanca at the southern tip of the island is the other prominent destination for Lanzarote sun seekers.
