Lanzarote is one of those destinations whose reputation, not always favourable, often

precedes it. However, scratch the surface and this Canary Island off the coast of Africa

has so much more to offer outside of the popular touristy resorts of Puerto del Carmen

and Costa Teguise. The dramatic volcanic scenery of the Timanfaya National Park –

protected as part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve – and the unique artwork from the

island’s famous son César Manrique are attracting a new type of holidaymaker. Throw

in several luxe new hotels and a cool surf scene and there’s lots to shout about...

WHERECANISTAY?

If you wish to combine sightseeing with a luxury

family holiday, then look no further than the

Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort in the family

friendly resort of Playa Blanca on the island’s

south west tip. This 385-room low-rise hotel is set

in lovely landscaped grounds overflowing with

olive trees, fragrant flowers and water features.

Channel 4’s A Place In The Sun presenter Laura

Hamilton stayed at the five-star hotel with her

young kids recently and said they loved the chefs

doing culinary tricks in the Japanese Teppanyaki

restaurant Kampai, one of the hotel’s eight dining

choices. Couples should book a sea view suite

so they can sit on the balcony and admire the

views across to the island of Fuerteventura. Those

travelling with kids should opt for Royal Kiko family

suites which feature two bedrooms and come with

a PlayStation, DVD player and kids’ mini bar!
