Lanzarote Airport Transfer to Famara: Bus, Taxi, Car Hire or Private Transfer

If you are looking for a transfer from Lanzarote Airport to Famara , there are several ways to reach Caleta de Famara , including public transport, taxi, car hire and a pre-booked private transfer. Located on Lanzarote's north-west coast,  Caleta de Famara  is very different from the island's main holiday resorts. Here, the Atlantic Ocean, the immense Famara beach and the dramatic cliffs of the  Risco de Famara  dominate the landscape. Famara is particularly well known for surfing and other water sports, but there is much more to this small coastal village than waves. Its sandy streets, relaxed atmosphere, local restaurants and extraordinary natural surroundings make it an appealing destination even for visitors who have no intention of getting on a surfboard. In this guide, we explain how to travel from  Lanzarote Airport to Famara  by public transport, taxi, hire car or private transfer, as well as what to expect once you arrive.

If you are looking for a transfer from Lanzarote Airport to Arrecife , there are several ways to reach the island's capital, including bus, taxi, car hire and a pre-booked private transfer. Arrecife offers a very different experience from Lanzarote's main holiday resorts. Rather than being centred around hotels and tourist beaches, it is a working island capital with a historic seafront, local neighbourhoods, shops, restaurants and some of the city's most characteristic places, including  Charco de San Ginés and Castillo de San Gabriel . Its proximity to César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport also makes Arrecife a convenient base for a short stay or for travellers who prefer a more urban and local atmosphere. In this guide, we explain how to travel from Lanzarote Airport to Arrecife by  bus, taxi, hire car or private transfer , as well as what you can discover once you arrive.

Lanzarote Airport Transfer to Puerto Calero: Bus, Taxi, Car Hire or Private Transfer

If you are looking for a transfer from Lanzarote Airport to Puerto Calero , there are several ways to reach your accommodation, including bus, taxi, car hire and a pre-booked private transfer. Located on Lanzarote's south-east coast, Puerto Calero offers a very different atmosphere from the larger resorts of Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca or Costa Teguise. Its marina, waterfront restaurants and relaxed surroundings make it particularly attractive to travellers looking for a quieter base by the sea. Puerto Calero can be reached from Lanzarote Airport by several different means of transport, including  public bus, taxi, hire car and pre-booked private transfer . In this guide, we explain the different options and provide some useful information for enjoying Puerto Calero once you arrive.

Lanzarote Airport Transfer to Órzola & La Graciosa: Bus, Ferry and Travel Guide

If you are looking for a transfer from Lanzarote Airport to Órzola or La Graciosa , the journey to La Graciosa has two stages: first to Órzola harbour and then by ferry to Caleta de Sebo. Órzola is a small fishing village at the northern tip of Lanzarote and, most importantly for many visitors,  the departure point for the ferries to La Graciosa .  So if your final destination is La Graciosa, your journey has two stages: Lanzarote Airport → Órzola → ferry to La Graciosa. In this guide, we explain the different ways to get from  Lanzarote Airport (ACE) to Órzola , how to connect with the ferry, what to consider when travelling with luggage and what you can discover around Órzola if you have some extra time.

Lanzarote Airport Transfer to La Santa & Club La Santa: Bus, Bikes and Sports Travel

If you are looking for a transfer from Lanzarote Airport to La Santa or Club La Santa , there are several ways to reach the area, including bus, taxi, car hire and a pre-booked private transfer. Located on Lanzarote's rugged north-west coast, La Santa is very different from the island's larger beach resorts. This is a landscape of volcanic coastline, Atlantic waves and open roads — and it has become closely associated with sport and endurance training. Many international athletes travel here specifically to train at  Club La Santa , while others choose the area for cycling, surfing or simply a quieter base from which to explore Lanzarote. In this guide, we explain how to get from  Lanzarote Airport (ACE) to La Santa and Club La Santa , including public transport, taxi, car hire and private transfers — with some particularly useful information if you are travelling with your own bicycle.

Lanzarote Airport Transfer to Costa Teguise: Bus, Taxi, Car Hire or Private Transfer

If you are looking for a transfer from Lanzarote Airport to Costa Teguise , there are several ways to reach your accommodation, including bus, taxi, car hire and a pre-booked private transfer. Located on Lanzarote's east coast, north of Arrecife, Costa Teguise is one of the island's main holiday resorts. Its beaches, long seafront promenade and relaxed atmosphere make it particularly popular with couples and families, while  Las Cucharas Beach is also one of Lanzarote's best-known windsurfing spots . Unlike Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise does not have the same straightforward direct airport bus connection, so it is useful to understand the different transport options before you arrive. In this guide, we explain how to travel from Lanzarote Airport to Costa Teguise by public transport, taxi, hire car or private transfer, as well as what you can expect once you arrive.

Lanzarote Airport Transfer to Puerto del Carmen: Bus, Taxi, Car Hire or Private Transfer

If you are looking for a transfer from Lanzarote Airport to Puerto del Carmen, there are several ways to reach your accommodation, including bus, taxi, car hire and a pre-booked private transfer. Puerto del Carmen is located only a short distance from César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, making it particularly convenient for visitors who want to start their holiday without a long journey after their flight. However, Puerto del Carmen stretches for several kilometres along the coast. Staying in Matagorda or Los Pocillos is quite different from staying near Playa Grande, Playa Chica or the Old Town , so knowing exactly where your accommodation is located can make a difference when choosing your transport. In this guide, we look at the different ways to travel from Lanzarote Airport to Puerto del Carmen, as well as the main areas of the resort, beaches, diving, shopping and a few local recommendations for your stay.

Things to Do in Lanzarote: The Ultimate Guide to César Manrique’s Masterpieces

There are very few artists in the world who have given as much back to their homeland as César Manrique. The visionary artist from Lanzarote set out to transform his native island into a fascinating destination, creating unique landmarks that enhanced the volcanic landscape rather than destroying it.By blending art with local infrastructure, Manrique designed architectural works that pioneered what we now call sustainable urbanism and eco-tourism. "I don't think architecture should speak too much. It should remain silent and let nature, guided by light and wind, speak." – Tadao Ando.

Timanfaya National Park Guide: Tickets, Prices & Tips

If there is one place in Lanzarote that truly represents the island’s volcanic origins, it is Timanfaya National Park. Located mainly in the municipality of Yaiza , in the southwest of Lanzarote, Timanfaya protects more than 5,000 hectares of volcanoes, lava fields and volcanic ash, largely formed during the eruptions that transformed this part of the island between 1730 and 1736.

As this is a highly protected environment, visits are regulated.
