Lanzarote For Solo Travellers and Singles

Countless enterprising people travel to Lanzarote alone every year. There are very different reasons for singles and committed people to go on holiday unaccompanied: simply because you prefer it that way or because your partner, friend or family can't join for professional reasons, for example. Solo travelers have the advantage of being able to make all decisions freely during their vacation. Sleep until noon? No problem! Celebrate into the morning in the disco? Why not! And, which excursions to explore the Canary Island? You choose! You merely enjoy the freedom to do what you want.

Some believe that traveling alone is dangerous. This is certainly true for some regions around the world. However, in no case does this apply to Lanzarote. The Spanish island belongs to the European Union and thus has high standards in security and infrastructure. You can therefore move around freely at any time as a single in Lanzarote, that’s why there is no boredom on the Canary Island. In addition, traveling alone does certainly not mean being lonely. Countless opportunities, new people, many excursions, wide beaches and the lively nightlife of Lanzarote are waiting for you. In this article you will learn the best tips and information about traveling alone to Lanzarote, what to do and what to consider.

Activities For Singles and Solo Travellers in Lanzarote

What Are the Best Trips For Solo Travellers?

Your desires and interests guide your day. You don't have to be considerate of anyone, coordinate with anyone, or compromise. You just decide and off you go. The selection of activities is quite large and you are guaranteed to find what appeals to you one hundred percent. We have a few suggestions here that may interest you. And at the end of this text you will find all the organized excursions that we have on offer.

We love La Graciosa

This beautiful little island is located off the north coast of Lanzarote. Visit La Graciosa and then spend a few relaxing hours on a catamaran off the coast. Bathe in the crystal-clear Atlantic or watch the life under the water while snorkeling. Back on board, there are a few delicacies that the crew has prepared for you. You will have enough opportunity to chat to the other guests on board.

Alone in the Monster Buggy

What is 1,000 cubic centimeters on four wide wheels, without doors or other frills? A tour in a monster buggy. Take a seat in front of the steering wheel. Enjoy the fact that you don't have to share this insane vehicle with anyone else. And above all, there is no one warning you fearfully or demanding to drive sensibly on the passenger’s seat. You can just step on the gas and have a blast.

Tricks on a Flyboard

The flyboard pushes you upwards energetically with two powerful water jets under your feet. Staying in the air and standing straight requires a little getting used to. Once you have that under control, you can also dive head first into the water or try making a little pirouette. If you are in the mood for this animated flying adventure, you should definitely not hold back.

The Flavors of Lanzarote

The connoisseurs among you should not miss this culinary mini bus tour. Taste the excellent wines of the black Canary Island. Find out how delicious and aromatic goat cheese tastes. And at the tapas lunch you are welcome to try out all the typical Canarian dishes.

What Should You Pay Attention to When Booking?

This is how your day of excursions ideally should start: You will be picked up directly at the hotel and this service is included. If you have this in mind, make sure whether and where you can get hotel transfers when booking. It is quite possible that you will not be picked up by operators from the northern part of the island in Playa Blanca or vice versa.
There are conditions for participation on some organized excursions. These can be personal or physical aspects. For example, on the Polaris Slingshot Tour you have to be at least 21 years old and have had a driver's license for two years to be able to drive one of these vehicles yourself.

Please inform yourself carefully in the detailed descriptions of our excursions. Everything you need to know about the requirements for participation can be found under the points “Please Note!” and “Services & Prices”.

Finally, we recommend that you book your preferred excursions on our website before you start your vacation. In summer, activities such as buggy tours and boat trips are extremely popular. While this applies to bike and hiking tours in winter instead. In the high-demand phases, for short-term bookings it can happen that tickets are already sold out.

What Other Activities Are There For Solo Travellers?

Foto Safari

With the various activities on the island, you should definitely take the opportunity to capture the unique and impressive monuments in pictures. The breathtaking landscape of Lanzarote offers countless fantastic photo opportunities. You will find volcanoes, rock massifs, green gorges and quite mountain villages and much more. And your vacation days often end with spectacular sunsets.

Traveling on Your Own in a Rental Car

You can get cheap rental cars on every corner in the tourist resorts. If you go on a discovery journey alone, you have the choice between well-visited places and lonely spots. In the visitor hotspots such as the Cuevas de los Verdes cave or the Lagomar Museum, you will never be alone. If you are looking for some peace and quiet, you are better of visiting the bizarre rock formation Stratified City or the more secluded beaches on the island La Graciosa. In these places you will usually only meet no one else but yourself.

Immerse in the Nightlife

Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca in particular offer a lively nightlife with their wide range of offers. Countless discos, music bars, pubs and restaurants are lined up in the party miles there. Fun and exuberant partying until the wee hours, getting to know new people, flirting and dancing is inevitable here.

Which Hotels Are Suitable For Solo Travellers and Singles?

You won't find pure single hotels in Lanzarote. If you travel solo, however, you have the largest selection of possible vacation rentals. A small studio apartment is basically enough for you. You will find these smaller apartments in particular in the more remote areas of the island. Here you can enjoy the peace and seclusion and fully experience the authentic life of Lanzarote.

However, if you prefer to be right in the middle of everything and don't want to do without good service, the best thing to do is to find a nice hotel on the beach. Many hotels offer their accommodations as single rooms at more favorable conditions than double rooms. If you value a relaxed and quiet time in the hotel, book your solo holiday in an “Adults Only” hotel like the H10 Sentido White Suites Boutique in Playa Blanca. Singles can often go travelling more spontaneously; therefore they can take advantage of cheap last-minute offers.

Is It Worth Spending a Holiday on Lanzarote as a Single Parent?

Children are welcome guests in Lanzarote. If you come to the Canary Island as a single traveller with a child, the existing infrastructure and the numerous activities offer the best conditions for a great holiday. Many of the hotels are geared towards children and offer appropriate services. Some of the most beautiful and impressive adventure parks and fun pools of the entire Canary Islands invite you to eventful days on the island. Most beaches are artificial or of course designed so that there are hardly any currents and waves. This guarantees wonderful bathing days with your child.
