Dramatic Landscapes, a year round warm climate and just a few hours from the UK. Its easy to see why Lanzarote is so appealing when it comes to getting away from it all. Lanzarote is one of the Spanish Canary Islands. The archipelago is made up of 13 small (and not so small) Islands that sit just off the west coast of Africa. Although governed by European Spain, they are physically part of the African Continent.

Tourism is very important to Lanzarote. Its weather, landscape and natural attractions, including the Timanfaya National Park, bring hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Over the last 12 months we have seen airlines increase the number of flights scheduled to Lanzarote to help with the demand of tourists wanting to visit the island.

Holiday makers who come to Lanzarote have a wide selection of accommodation to chose from. From private villas to luxury 5 star hotels there is accommodation to fit every budget.

All Inclusive Holidays are popular in Lanzarote. In the three main resorts of Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise there are a number of large hotels that line the sea front. However, in the interest of the islands legacy created by the late Cesar Manrique these hotels are very tastefully built and they fit reasonably well within the architecture of the island.

All Inclusive holidays are great for people who go on holiday to relax. Both hotels and apartment complexes offer All Inclusive packages which means that all your food and drink is supplied as part of the cost of the holiday. The only down side of this is that you have to eat at set meal times so you do lose a degree of flexibility that so many people enjoy whilst they are on holiday, but it terms of budgeting you know where you stand from the moment you have booked your vacation. Another issue is that if you are staying in a hotel where the food isnt quite up to your own standards you may find yourself having to dine out incurring extra costs.

At night, you might find that only locally produced alcoholic drinks are provided as part of your package, so if you fancy a more mainstream beer you may have to dig out a few Euros to cover the cost. Generally soft drinks and coffee / tea are provided free of charge for all inclusive guests all day every day - ideal if you have a family with small children who find the heat a little too much to deal with and needing regular refreshment.

All Inclusive Holidays in Lanzarote are not for everyone, but they are definitely popular packages and here to stay. They are a great way to simply relax and not have to worry about anything apart from what time the next meal is!
