Being one of the biggest islands in the Canary Islands, Lanzarote has definitely become a firm favourite to visit whilst exploring the archipelago. Which, if I’m totally honest, is made even better by all the best things to do in Lanzarote that are dotted all across the island.
Plus, it’s right next to the other gorgeous islands of Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Fuerteventura, too.
Now, being a pretty popular spot, Lanzarote is often seen as a well-trodden path when it comes to destinations to visit. Though, like any place, they are popular for a reason. Plus, it’s really well connected with the rest of Spain and Europe, too. This all makes it a totally easy island to visit and explore.
Now, I’m not for any snobbery around what holidays you enjoy and I sometimes feel like the Canary Islands get a bad rap as being too ‘touristy’ or visited. Honestly, you don’t have to fall off the edge of the world to enjoy some incredible places and I really think there is so much beauty in Lanzarote that it shouldn’t be ignored.
Anyway, rambling again about all my thoughts! What I really wanted to do was share, with you, the best things to do in Lanzarote on your next trip that I hope you’ll love. Have the best time on the island!

Perched in the south-west of the island, Los Ajaches is easily up there as one of the best things to do in Lanzarote if you love getting out of the towns.
You see, Los Ajaches, is all about nature, with this protected area of the island being totally unique and gorgeous to explore.
This is especially true with it having some of the oldest volcanic structures on the island, as well as some pretty impressive hiking routes through this volcanic and arid area.
Now, the hiking routes through the area can take a few hours to walk, so make sure to take some comfy shoes and plenty of sunblock, too.
If hiking isn’t your thing, you can easily drive towards the El Chiringuito restaurant where there is some offroad parking. from here, you’ll be able to pop to Playa de Papagayo, Caleta del Conger and Playa de la Cera.
They are some gorgeous beaches that can be much less crowded than some within the resorts.
