After a four-year break, the winter destination Lanzarote is returning to the program of the tour operator Tui Austria.
From December 21, 2024, Tui will again offer non-stop flights from Vienna to the fascinating Canary Island, which is particularly popular with nature and art lovers due to its mild climate, unique landscape and diverse leisure opportunities. Lanzarote combines impressive volcanic landscapes, breathtaking beaches and a rich cultural influence from the famous artist and environmentalist César Manrique. For travelers who want to escape the cold European winter, Lanzarote is an ideal destination.
Lanzarote: An island full of natural treasures
Lanzarote, the most north-eastern island of the Canaries, is characterized by its extraordinary volcanic landscapes and a mild climate with temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius, even in the winter months. These weather conditions make the island an ideal destination for active holidaymakers who want to go hiking, surfing or simply enjoy the breathtaking nature. Particularly impressive is the Timanfaya National Park, also known as the "Fire Mountains", which is a popular destination for visitors with its rugged volcanic landscape.
Another highlight are the lava caves of Jameos del Agua and the Cueva de los Verdes, which were created by underground lava tunnels and impressively demonstrate the volcanic origins of the island. At the same time, these natural wonders are closely linked to the artistic vision of César Manrique, who enriched the natural beauty of the island with unique architectural projects and art installations.
Cultural Heritage of César Manrique
Lanzarote is not only known for its natural beauty, but also for the legacy of the famous artist and environmentalist César Manrique, who left a lasting mark on the island. Manrique was committed to developing tourism on Lanzarote in harmony with nature. His influence can be seen in many of the sights that are among the island's most important attractions.
The Jameos del Agua cultural centre is a perfect example of how Manrique harmoniously merged art and nature. This unique complex, set in a former lava cave, houses an auditorium, an underground lake and an open-air bar, among other things, offering visitors an extraordinary experience.
Another of Manrique's masterpieces is the Mirador del Río viewpoint in the north of the island. From there, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the neighboring island of La Graciosa. These artistic and architectural projects show how Manrique managed to combine the natural beauty of Lanzarote with modern art.
Sports and Leisure on Lanzarote
In addition to the fascinating nature and cultural diversity, Lanzarote offers numerous opportunities for sporting activities. The winter months are ideal for hiking on the island's well-developed hiking trails, which lead through volcanic craters, bizarre rock formations and barren landscapes. A particularly popular route is the climb up the Montaña Blanca volcano, from whose summit you can enjoy an impressive view of the island.
Lanzarote also offers ideal conditions for surfers. Famara beach is a mecca for surfers, both beginners and professionals, who benefit from the consistent waves all year round. For experienced surfers looking for a challenge, La Santa beach offers particularly powerful waves. Windsurfers will enjoy the coastal areas around Jameos del Agua, where the strong winds create ideal conditions for the sport.
Wide range of hotels and apartment complexes
Tui offers a wide range of accommodation on Lanzarote, tailored to the needs of a wide variety of travelers. The Tui Blue Flamingo Beach, for example, is located in the south of the island and is particularly family-friendly. It offers comfortable apartments in the immediate vicinity of a sandy bay, while numerous restaurants and bars in the area provide culinary variety.
For holidaymakers looking for a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, the new apartment complex "Time to Smile Guinate Club" in Puerto del Carmen is ideal. The complex is just a few minutes' walk from the beach and offers modern apartments arranged around an outdoor pool - perfect for relaxing hours in the sun.
The Riu Paraiso Lanzarote is an excellent choice for active guests. In addition to two tennis courts and a beach volleyball court, there is also the option to rent e-bikes. The adults-only hotel Hipotels Natura Palace, on the other hand, is located directly on the beach promenade with a picturesque view of Fuerteventura. It is the ideal starting point for diving and golf adventures.
Lanzarote: A dream destination for every taste
The resumption of Lanzarote flights from Vienna is a welcome step for Austrian holidaymakers who want to escape the winter cold and spend an unforgettable holiday on the "island of eternal spring". With Ryanair as its flight partner, Tui will offer direct flights from Vienna to Lanzarote every Saturday from December 21, 2024 and also on Wednesdays from January 29, 2025. This connection makes it even easier for travelers to discover the unique natural wonders, the art of César Manrique and the numerous leisure opportunities on the island.
