Lanzarote holidays are especially popular with friend groups, as there is a mix of adventure and chill social spots to explore. 

The island’s dramatic geology offers iconic landscapes that can make the group visit feel worth it. A trip to Timanfaya National Park is a must, as you can witness geothermal demonstrations and feel the heat of a dormant volcano beneath your feet.  If you’re looking for a more unique experience, head underground to the Jameos del Agua or Cueva de los Verdes.

Chill at Beaches and Coastal Spots 

The Papagayo beaches are a series of sheltered coves with golden sands and turquoise waters and are widely considered as the island’s crown jewels. These spots are perfect for groups that are looking to dedicate a day of socialising, swimming and snorkelling in calm waters.

If your group is more adventurous and prefers something more rugged, you can explore the hidden coves near Playa Blanca or the wild, windswept sands of Famara. These spots can offer the group a fair chance to sunbathe as well as get involved in water-based activities that are up for offer. This can ensure that everyone in the group feels catered for and can find their own pace.

Take in Views and Cultural Highlights 

For a day trip with a bit of a wow factor, drive up to the Mirador del Río. This viewpoint, carved into a towering cliff, provides breathtaking panoramic views over the sea towards the neighbouring island of La Graciosa – it’s the ultimate spot for group photos. 

For something a bit quirkier, a visit to the Jardín de Cactus is highly recommended. Housing over 4,500 cacti specimens from around the world, set within an old quarry, it’s a bizarre and beautiful botanical stop that highlights the island’s unique relationship with its volcanic environment.

Adventure and Group Activities

For friends who crave more of an adventure filled with adrenaline. Lanzarote is the perfect island that can cater to those who love water sports, particularly surfing and windsurfing around the northern coast. It is also home to one of the largest outdoor go-karting tracks in the Canaries, offering a fun experience for those who want to stir up some friendly competition on their holiday.

Alternatively, if water sports aren’t for you, you can choose to book an off-road buggy tour to explore the rugged volcanic interior or choose to take a group hike along the dramatic coastal cliffs. These types of active experiences often make the highlights of the trip, creating the kind of “remember when” stories that will last a lifetime after you’ve landed back home.
