Romantic Getaway in Lanzarote

Most people looking for a romantic getaway think of Tuscany, a village in Andalusia with narrow lanes, or a city known for its food. Lanzarote doesn’t automatically make that list. And that’s exactly why it works so well.

Lanzarote has something none of those destinations have: a landscape unlike anything else. Volcanic black, whitewashed white, the deep green of fig trees, the blue of the Atlantic. No wallpaper does justice to what you see when the sun sets over the volcanoes.
The silence of the island’s interior at night, with almost zero light pollution, lets you see the sky in a way that’s no longer possible across most of Europe. It’s not a tourist fact. It’s the experience of standing speechless, looking up for several minutes straight.

The wines of La Geria — the volcanic vineyard 15 minutes from Casona de Tao — are extraordinary. The vines grow in pits dug into the lava, in a landscape that looks like another planet. A tasting at a family-run winery at sunset, with that backdrop, is one of those moments you’ll remember ten years from now.
And the island has an entirely peaceful interior and northern area, with small restaurants where you need to book days ahead because they only have eight tables and the chef decides the menu that morning.
A romantic rural getaway in Lanzarote isn’t the backup plan when you can’t get a flight to Italy. It’s the plan that surprises you both.
