Lanzarote for solo travelers

For the solo traveler, Playa Blanca is an excellent choice, known for its tranquility and beautiful seaside promenade, perfect for safe strolls with unmatched panoramic views. 

Here, interacting with the local community is easy and rewarding, especially in restaurants that draw both locals and tourists in perfect harmony. 

The Marina Rubicón area, with its bi-weekly market and ample leisure options, is also very appealing. 

For those seeking a more private retreat, the coves of Papagayo offer an idyllic escape with opportunities for nudism at Playa de los Pozos. 

Additionally, the Charcones, natural pools near Faro Pechiguera, are perfect for a refreshing dip away from the crowds. Playa Blanca also serves as a starting point for exploring coastal trails, such as the route along Papagayo coast or the climb up Montaña Roja, and is well connected to Arrecife, Puerto del Carmen, and the airport via public transport. (Bus lines 60 and 161)

Puerto del Carmen offers a vibrant atmosphere ideal for solo travelers who seek both excitement and moments of calm. 

Unlike Playa Blanca, this area is known for its lively nightlife with a wide variety of pubs and bars to suit all tastes. However, it's also possible to find peace and contact with nature. 

The beaches, Grande and Chica, though popular, are spacious enough to not feel overwhelmed by crowds. The beach avenue is not only perfect for strolling but also features lanes adapted for skating or biking. 

The Varadero area connects you with the maritime past of Puerto del Carmen: you can visit the fish market and watch fishermen return with their catch at dawn. 

Moreover, from here starts a trail leading you towards Puerto Calero or to the secluded cove of Barranco del Quiquere, perfect for a solitary getaway.

Discover Lanzarote’s artistic and cultural soul at your own pace. 

Renting a car gives you the freedom to explore the island’s unique spaces connected to César Manrique and beyond, allowing you to plan your journey exactly as you feel it.

Spend a day touring the vineyards of La Geria, with recommended visits to Bodega El Grifo or an experience at Finca Testeina. 

Each of these activities offers a unique way to experience the island, blending relaxation, adventure, and cultural enrichment. Combine your visit to the wineries with a hike, either in La Geria or in Masdache.

Our recommended restaurants are: La Cepa (Bodega La Geria Tapas Bar) and the restaurant at Finca La Florida in Masdache.
