The best Airbnbs in Lanzarote
Lanzarote, the easternmost Canary Island, has long been one of its most beloved. The undulating rugged hillsides give it an almost otherworldly feel, thanks to a mix of over 300 volcanoes that punctuate the horizons, inky lava fields, palm-filled valleys and a pretty jumble of idyllic white villages. For every golden beach, there’s another with jet black sands, and then there’s the dramatic Timanfaya National Park, and the striking La Geria wine region, where typical vineyards are usurped by alienlike vines growing in craters.
But for all its eclecticism, the island maintains a calm, collected atmosphere beloved by all that return each year. This is half due to its manageable size, which can be traversed in its entirety in a weekend should you please, but also in no small part down to local artist and architect César Manrique. This influential character has stamped his mark all over the island – it’s his influence we have to thank for its blissful lack of overdevelopment.
Naturally, there’s no shortage of lovely hotels to check into, but the best Airbnbs in Lanzarote are also doing a sterling job of leaning into the locale’s easy charms – without the inevitable crowds drawn in high season. From bohemian cottages to rural fincas and smart apartments right on the edge of the sands, this clutch of excellent homestays offer a luxuriant simplicity in every corner of Lanzarote, for a perfect weekend slipping onto Spanish island time.
