From the touristy south to the authentic north: everything you need to know to choose the perfect place to stay in Lanzarote.
Lanzarote’s Areas and What Each One Offers
Lanzarote has a varied geography. Choosing the right area makes the difference between an ordinary holiday and a memorable experience.
Why Is the North of Lanzarote the Best Place to Stay?
No Overcrowding
The north of Lanzarote is home to the island’s most spectacular landscapes —the Famara Cliff, the volcanoes of the Natural Park, the vineyards of La Geria— without the mass tourism of the south. Here, silence is the real luxury.
Nature and Volcanic Landscapes
From the north, in under 30 minutes you can reach Timanfaya National Park, the unspoiled beaches of Famara and the island’s most breathtaking viewpoints. The perfect base for exploring the real Lanzarote.
Genuine Quality Accommodation
There are no large hotel complexes in the north. What you’ll find instead are boutique stays and rural guesthouses full of character, where every detail matters. Hotels where you feel the island, not just sleep on it.
Authentic Food and Culture
The north has the island’s highest concentration of restaurants serving local produce, craft markets and street art. The influence of César Manrique can be felt in every corner.
