Frequently Asked Questions
Lanzarote is one of the very few European destinations that can genuinely be described as a year-round beach holiday. Summer months from June to September bring warm temperatures of around 27°C to 30°C and are perfect for classic sun, sea, and sand breaks. The winter months from October through to April are equally appealing, with mild and comfortable temperatures averaging between 18°C and 22°C that make Lanzarote one of the most popular winter sun destinations for UK travellers. Spring and autumn shoulder seasons offer excellent value alongside very pleasant weather conditions throughout.
Lanzarote has a well-rounded selection of resorts to suit different holiday styles and budgets. Puerto del Carmen is the island's most established resort, offering a long sandy beach, a lively atmosphere, and a wide range of accommodation from all inclusive hotels to self-catering apartments. Playa Blanca in the south is quieter and more upmarket, appealing strongly to couples and luxury travellers. Costa Teguise is a relaxed and family-friendly option with calm beaches and good watersports facilities, while Puerto Calero is a boutique marina village ideal for those seeking a peaceful and sophisticated retreat.
Lanzarote is an excellent family beach holiday destination that consistently delivers on safety, entertainment, and value. The island's southern and eastern beaches offer calm, sheltered waters well suited to young children, and the Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park provides a popular full-day family attraction combining a water park with animal shows and activities. Family all inclusive resorts are widely available across Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise, offering kids' clubs, family pools, and varied entertainment programmes that keep children and parents alike thoroughly engaged throughout the holiday.
Lanzarote offers a strong and varied selection of all inclusive beach resorts catering to families, couples, and solo travellers. Puerto del Carmen has the widest concentration of all inclusive properties, ranging from large resort complexes with multiple pools and entertainment to smaller boutique-style hotels with a more intimate atmosphere.

Johnson Holidays offers a carefully curated range of all inclusive Lanzarote packages including return flights from UK airports, giving you a complete, stress-free, and fully protected holiday at a transparent fixed price.
Lanzarote is a beautifully romantic destination that works exceptionally well for couples breaks and honeymoon holidays. Playa Blanca and Puerto Calero are the standout choices for couples seeking a refined and tranquil setting, with boutique luxury hotels, sunset harbour walks, and intimate seafront restaurants creating a genuinely special atmosphere. Private catamaran cruises, couples spa treatments, scenic drives through the volcanic Timanfaya landscape, and candlelit dinners overlooking the Atlantic all contribute to making Lanzarote a memorable and deeply relaxing romantic escape from the UK.
Lanzarote's volcanic heritage makes it one of the most fascinating islands in the Atlantic for those wanting to venture beyond their sun lounger. Timanfaya National Park is a must-visit, offering surreal lava landscapes and camel treks across the volcanic terrain. The Jameos del Agua and Jameos cave system, designed by the visionary local artist César Manrique, is a stunning blend of natural wonder and architectural creativity. The Mirador del Río viewpoint, the Cactus Garden, and the wine producing region of La Geria, where vines grow in volcanic ash craters, all offer genuinely memorable experiences that elevate a Lanzarote beach holiday into something much richer.
