The fourth largest of Spain's Canary Islands, this strange paradise is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It's curious and beautiful geology results from its volcanic origins. This landscape of volcanic mountains, rocks and extraordinary colors gives much of the terrain an rather otherworldly feel' and has been compared to a Martian landscape. Since the distance from north to south takes a little under forty minutes by car, and even less time from east to west' those who stay in the 5 star Lanzarote hotels can easily venture to these amazing sites. The Timanfaya National Park covers about a quarter of the land area of the whole island and it is a remarkable landscape resulting from the last volcanic eruptions in the early 18th century. It is within this park that visitors can see the 'Mountains of Fire' as well as enjoy the novelty of eating a meal which has been roasted by heat emanating from the ground. While there are many similar sights and activities for those who want to explore the largely untouched and empty terrain, much of the local activity revolves around the sandy beaches. Since only about 16 kilometres of the 200 kilometre coastline offers beaches' there is a concentration around these prized sections of golden beauty. On the southern tip of the island you'll find Playa Blanca, a small fishing village. This area has some of the best beaches in all of Europe. It is here that many of the best 5 Star Lanzarote hotels have created a veritable demi-paradise of sun and sea leisure and pleasure. Playa Papagayo is one of the most famous local beaches and, looking out over, it is the Dream Hotel Gran Castillo. Guests can enjoy the prestigious location as well as the relaxed atmosphere of the 5 star Lanzarote hotels with a distinctly Mediterranean feel. When not dipping into the inviting waters of the Atlantic, guests can enjoy the Gran Castillo's three pools or take some time to revitalize lazy limbs at the large wellness center or perhaps spend a few energetic hours on the squash or tennis courts. Luxury and indulgence are the order of the day, certainly at meal times when ravenous diners can sample the varied delights from one of the Gran Castillo's three restaurants. Even though this archipelago is a province of Spain which has its own culinary tradition, the cuisine of the Canary Islands is unlike the rest of the country's and a real pleasure to taste. Most of the resorts have more than one restaurant and amongst the fine international dishes, you're sure to be able enjoy the local fare at its best. The tapas is also to be savored. The 5 Star Lanzarote Hotels each have their own feel and attributes, some with lovely gardens while others embrace the beach atmosphere and provide a range of sporting activities from windsurfing to diving. Wherever you stay, you can rest assured that every comfort and convenience will be provided for you while you enjoy the idyllic beauty and renowned hospitality of this special place. All you really need is a healthy appetite for fun and relaxation and a good supply of sunscreen. |
