Lanzarote’s great claim to fame is that it guarantees the steadiest climate of all the Canary Islands, with over 300 days of sunshine a year. Add plenty of beautiful beaches, exhilarating water sports and some of the Canary Islands’ most dramatic volcanic landscapes and stunning architecture, and you can see why it appeals to so many people. Many people no longer simply want a resort experience, they're looking for something altogether more personal. Our pick of the best guesthouses and B&Bs on Lanzarote offers a guide to just such properties.

It is possible to find places to stay that offer authentic Canarian character whether in the architecture, furnishings and food or in the warmth of the welcome. Often these are family-run affairs, sometimes on a working farm or vineyard, sometimes in a traditional village house. Usually they offer a peaceful retreat; certainly they offer an individual style and charm. And almost always they offer great value for money. We have selected some of the best guesthouses and B&Bs on Lanzarote for you to make your choice.
