Lanzarote has a long tradition of providing luxury holidays with a year-round good climate without the need for a long-haul flight. Lanzarote is a perfect year round holiday destination with average daily temperatures ranging from 21°C in January to 29°C in August. Lanzarote is volcanic in origin and due to more recent eruptions the scenery often takes on the appearance of a lunar landscape. Despite the volcanic appearance Lanzarote is blessed with stunning white sand beaches such as those at Playa Blanca and Papagayo.
