The UK's Premium Holiday Report Guide

The latest edition of the free Lanzarote tourist guide, Lanzarote Guidebook, is out now.  Offering readers the chance to win a villa holiday on the island in an easy to enter competition.

Lanzarote is the third most popular of the Canary Islands, after Tenerife and Gran Canaria.  Welcoming around 1.4 million foreign visitors every year – the majority from the UK, Eire and Germany.  And offers high standards of accommodation – encompassing good value hotels and plenty of self catering options.  As well as fantastic beaches and excellent year round weather. Another great accommodation option for families looking to enjoy the beach and the countryside is the option of staying in holidays parks. Holiday parks have become highly popular in the UK and Lanzarote in recent years due to the increasing number of families looking for extra activities.

The new spring edition of Lanzarote Guidebook provides visitors with all of the information they need to make the most of their holiday on the island.  Including in depth guides to all of the main resorts and attractions, along with detailed maps and tips on places to eat and visit.

Readers can also enter a competition to win a week’s stay in one of the finest holiday villas in Lanzarote.  Courtesy of local villa specialists Lanzarote1, who have been organising holidays on the island since 1988.  The competition can also be entered online – just visit the Lanzarote Guidebook website for more details.

Villa Holidays on the island have grown hugely in popularity over the last decade – in tandem with the growth of the internet.  Which enables visitors to book their own flights to Lanzarote and accommodation direct online without resorting to the services of travel agents or tour operators.  Creating an increase in demand for good quality rental properties.  Whilst the island also offers visitors much more than just lazy days by the pool alone.

The best known and most popular attraction is the Timanfaya National Park – home to over 300 volcanoes which burst from the earth during the 18th century and which now dominate the interior of the island.  Fear not – as these are all now dormant – but the temperatures beneath the surface of the ground here still reach up to 400 degrees.  And the park attracts huge numbers of tourists – with around one million visitors a year touring Timanfaya.

The many creations of a local artist called César Manrique also top many itineraries – as this locally born artist did much to shape the development of tourism on the island whilst also saving Lanzarote from the worst ravages of over development.  He also created unique visitor attractions such as the Jameos del Agua and the Mirador del Rio – which remain amongst the most popular sights on the island to this day.
