With guaranteed sunshine over 300 days of the year - and the steadiest climate of all the Canary Islands - wonderful beaches and just a four-hour flight, Lanzarote is a firm family-favourite holiday destination. Not as brash as some of its neighbouring islands, with generally low-rise resorts, also makes it a family-friendly hot-spot. Many resorts are specifically geared up with child-friendly activities and these are where you will find some of the best family hotels on Lanzarote.
