Of all the Canary Islands, Lanzarote has the steadiest climate, offering over 300 days of sunshine a year. Not surprisingly, it is a hugely popular holiday destination, especially for families or anyone wanting a quick sunshine fix. Add in beautiful beaches, fantastic water sports and a steady control over high-rise developments, and it makes a perfect fly-and-flop holiday choice, and the best beach hotels on Lanzarote cater for exactly this type of visit.

The island’s west coast is wilder and rockier - great for surfers keen to catch the swells - while the best beach hotels on Lanzarote tend to be on the eastern and southern coasts. Here you’ll find long stretches of pale-white or sunshine-gold sand and generally shallow waters; perfect for swimming and sunbathing.
