Best things to do in Lanzarote to get you off the the resort helenabradbury.com

I will be the first to admit that I thought Lanzarote was all about all-inclusive resorts and package holiday trips.

But we went to Lanzarote on a family trip to celebrate my parents turning 60 and honestly? I was so pleasantly surprised by the number of things to do in Lanzarote that meant we could not only enjoy our resort, but also we could go out exploring and see what the island had to offer.

The stunning black volcanic terrain and lunar-like landscapes are some of the most dramatic and unique landscapes I’ve ever seen. Contrasted with the white-washed houses and rolling hills, the scenery per mile really gives you a bang for your buck!

We did hire a car for 3 days of our trip, but this is a testament to how small and drivable the island is – we saw everything in this Lanzarote guide by car during those 3 days. Everything else we could reach on foot from our hotel in Playa Blanca.

So if you’re looking to escape your Lanzarote resort and get some inspiration for what to do in Lanzarote and things to see in Lanzarote around the island, here’s everything you need to plan your trip.
