When is it a good time to visit Lanzarote?

Airport Landing

We’re quite often asked the question “When is a good time to visit Lanzarote?” The answer depends on what you want from your holiday.

Some like to follow the trend and visit places during the peak season, for others they want to escape the madding crowd and come when it’s quieter. Of course this very much depends upon whether you have children and are tied to visiting during the school holidays. We’ve looked back over the past three years to establish when the most popular time for visitors to Lanzarote.

Our passenger arrival figures show that the island is remarkably consistent throughout the year, illustrating that we’re not a seasonal destination.

Winter is the busiest time of the year here, with February, March, October and December being the busiest months. Depending on when Easter falls, April can replace March. But we also have peaks during UK half term.

The bottom line is that at any time of year, Lanzarote is a busy, bustling tourist destination.

Quietest Time

The summer months have slightly fewer visitors, but the difference isn’t huge, and there really isn’t such a thing as a quiet time here.

Lanzarote genuinely has an all year round “season.”

Weather

Lanzarote has the best climate in the world! It really doesn’t matter when you plan your holiday to Lanzarote as we enjoy average daytime temperatures from 21 to 29 degrees and more than 300 days of sunshine every year. There is an odd chance of rain during the winter months however our annual average rainfall is only 125 – 150 mm, so chances are the showers are interspersed with sunshine.

You can check the weather for any month of the year by using the search facility on this site. Try “March Weather,” for example.

Anytime is a good time to visit Lanzarote!
