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.

The best beaches are on the south and east coasts, such as Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise, and here you will also find plenty of hotels with children’s clubs, playgrounds and water sports activities - snorkelling, windsurfing, even kitesurfing - as well as beaches with safe swimming.

Lanzarote also has a host of theme and adventure parks such as Baku Water Park on the Costa Teguise, camel rides in the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya, and Kikoland in Playa Blanca.
