Family Holidays: Lanzarote with Kids

If you're planning a relaxing and adventurous family getaway, Lanzarote is the perfect destination. The contrast between the volcanic landscapes and idyllic beaches will captivate both adults and children. Traveling from one place to another is easy, allowing you to enjoy your vacation without missing a single detail. Its mild climate year-round and the tranquility found throughout the island make it an ideal destination for families. We suggest some must-see attractions where the whole family will have a fantastic time.

In this National Park, one of the most visited in Spain, we can admire the incredible volcanic landscape created by the numerous eruptions the area has experienced. We'll arrive by car and tour the park on a bus organized by the park itself. Children, and adults alike, will have a fantastic time with the steam spectacles that rise from the depths when water is poured in, confirming the still-present temperature inside the earth. Completing the visit with a camel ride will make the little ones very happy.

The theme parks in Lanzarote are incredibly diverse. A water park, a Wild West-themed park, a cactus garden, and one of the largest aquariums in the Canary Islands are just some of the ideal options for children. All of them are geared towards family visits, guaranteeing fun and excitement. Choose the one that best suits your needs, or why not visit them all?

This incredible geological wonder was transformed by the artist César Manrique. Created from the collapse of a volcanic tube, it has been transformed by marine seepage into an inland lake. Children will have a wonderful time admiring the reflections in this unique place and, above all, searching for the jameitos, the blind, albino crab species that lives within it.

This bathing area is perfect and very safe for all members of the family. Thanks to lava flows from past eruptions, a natural barrier has formed around it, protecting it from the waves and making this beach a very calm place to enjoy swimming. It will be fun to explore the rocks and snorkel in its crystal-clear waters to discover the marine life so typical of this area. The white sand contrasts with the volcanic landscape, forming a natural pool that will delight everyone.

A ferry trip to La Graciosa will be an unforgettable adventure for children during the holidays. You can buy tickets at the port of Órzola, from where numerous trips depart daily. Once there, all that's left is to enjoy yourself. It's a peaceful and welcoming place where children can play in the unpaved streets or enjoy the sea on the shore of Caleta de Sebo beach. At lunchtime, you can eat at one of the terraces and savor freshly caught fish. The family can also explore the island on a pleasant bike ride and enjoy a swim at the idyllic beaches scattered throughout the rest of the island.

An interesting destination for traveling with children, isn't it? We hope we've helped you decide to travel to Lanzarote as a family. We look forward to seeing you!
