Dinner at the Jameos del Agua

If you think beaches in Lanzarote are romantic, wait until you see its volcanic caves, they are even more charming and will surprise you completely. In the Jameos del Agua, ancient eruptions of the Corona volcano shaped these volcanic tubes later redesigned by local artist César Manrique. Today, the Jameos del Agua are a must-see for every couple wondering what to do in Lanzarote.

The entrance to the Jameos del Agua, located in the municipality of Haría, is decorated with palm trees and a beautiful blue water pool. Inside, visitors find a space with many plant species (palm trees, fig trees, croton and cactus) illuminated both by sunlight that manages to reach inside and by strategically placed lights. The Jameos del Agua is an even more beautiful place thanks to all the different shades of green, black, brown, blue, yellow and ochre that paint its interior.

A beautiful place by day, the Jameos del Agua is magnificent at night. Surprise your partner with a romantic evening at the Jameos del Agua, which includes a delicious dinner at the restaurant inside the cave and a very special concert in the Jameos del Agua auditorium.

A nice gentle stroll in the Cactus Garden

Do you think cactus are not as romantic as other flowering plants? A visit to the Cactus Garden will change your botanical preference. Located to the north of Lanzarote, in Guatiza, this garden surprises all with its unexpected beauty. A stroll through this garden is one of the romantic things to do as a couple in Lanzarote, even more romantic if done under the sunset of Lanzarote.

The Cactus Garden is home to more than 1400 species of cactus from all over the world, and was the last architectural project done by César Manrique in his native Lanzarote.

An evening of modern art at the César Manrique Foundation

The island of Lanzarote also has plenty of cultural plans to offer, especially those related to the Lanzarote-born artist César Manrique. The César Manrique Foundation is located in Tahiche, in the middle of the island, and consists of a beautiful white house built on top of five volcanic bubbles created when the flowing lava cooled and solidified.

Visitors will get a close look at Manrique’s work, and how it transformed the island of Lanzarote merging architecture, art and a deep, respectful love for nature. Visitors may also admire other contemporary pieces of art belonging to the artist’s personal collection.

Be witness to all the foundation has to offer: the contrast between the color white and the volcanic rock walls so characteristic of Lanzarote, a beautiful garden of canarian plants and a pool, and a mural painted by Manrique in his iconic abstract style.

Both the César Manrique Foundation and the House Museum in Haría are recommended things to do with your loved one in Lanzarote. Don’t miss them when visiting Lanzarote!

Our César Manrique Experience Tour: a man with many talents and his passion for the land provides a fully guided visit to the most symbolic places of Lanzarote related to the genius artist.

A walk around the town of Haría
