Casas de las Hoyas suits couples on Lanzarote who want volcanic scenery and wine country within a drive. Most homes sleep two, though a few take larger groups and some have a pool. They are scattered rather than grouped in one village, so a car is essential.
Casas de las Hoyas is the name these homes are listed under, and they are spread over several kilometres rather than sitting in one street. Every home has a garden and most sleep two. In Yaiza, the largest place in the south of the island, flat-roofed white houses stand against black and ochre lava from the 18th-century eruptions. Uga, a small wine-producing village of about 1,000 people, breeds the dromedaries that carry visitors through Timanfaya, and La Geria's vineyards sit in hollows dug up to 2 metres into volcanic ash. Playa Blanca, in the far south, is the island's most developed resort and the place for an evening out.
Lava-field park explored by camel caravan or by bus from the summit visitor centre; parking is scarce.
The island's inland wine region, with vines planted in volcanic-ash hollows sheltered from the north-east trade winds.
Half-collapsed crater on the west coast with a green lagoon, the Charco de los Clicos, where swimming is not allowed.
Lanzarote's largest salt pans still in operation, near Yaiza and now a protected natural area.
Fly to Lanzarote's airport, a few kilometres south of Arrecife, and hire a car. Reff buses link the airport and Playa Blanca with Arrecife, and Fred Olsen ferries cross from Playa Blanca to Corralejo on Fuerteventura in about 45 minutes.
Lanzarote lies in the trade-wind zone, so a north-east wind blows for much of the year, and most rain falls in the north-western half of the island. Timanfaya closes earlier between mid-July and mid-September, so plan high-summer visits for the morning.
Timanfaya National Park is the big one, explored by camel caravan or by bus from the summit visitor centre. Yaiza is a base for trips to El Golfo's green lagoon, and the Salinas de Janubio salt pans are close to Yaiza too.
Often. Lanzarote sits in the trade-wind zone and the wind blows mostly from the north-east, which is why vines in La Geria grow in sheltered hollows. Most rain falls in the north-western half of the island.
Easily, via Playa Blanca. Fred Olsen ferries cross from there to Corralejo in about 45 minutes, so a day trip works if you drive to the port first.
A few. Most homes here sleep two with one bedroom, but some suit bigger groups and the largest sleeps more than eight. All have a garden and some have a private pool.
