About Lanzarote

A firm favourite with Irish holidaymakers, Lanzarote is a unique and charming island that is a paradise for watersports enthusiasts and sun worshippers alike. Lying to the east of the Canary Islands and just 60 miles from the African coast, it enjoys glorious sunshine almost all year round. The landscape is a spectacular contrast of volanic rock formations, lush, vibrant plants and pretty whitewashed buildings. There is plenty to see and do for all ages, making it a popular choice with families, couples and single holidaymakers alike.

Why not hire a car and explore some of the countryside and quaint villages inland? Shoppers will love the selection of shops, markets and souvenir stalls, while active types are spoilt for choice with scuba diving, windsurfing, water-skiing and other sports all widely available.

Topflight offers the most sought-after accommodation on this delightful island, renowned for its long, sandy beaches, relaxed and friendly atmosphere, great restaurants and lively nightlife.  

Please note:  Lanzarote Villas do not have an offical star rating, Topflight has allocated a star rating based on knowledge of the property.
