LANZAROTE:EUROPEANSPORTSDESTINATION

There’s a reason so many athletes and sports enthusiasts choose lanzarote.

Lanzarote’s seas annually play host to major International competitions in windsurfing and kiteboarding and offer unparalleled conditions to surfers and stand up paddle enthusiasts.

lanzarote is a year-round, dream destination for land and sea sports

By land and sea, there’s a reason why Lanzarote is one of Europe’s premier sports destinations.

Warm, crystal waters and some of the best Atlantic dive sites in Europe open a world of 500 different species of fish to divers of all levels.

Around its quiet coastal roads and volcanic hinterland, cyclists take to challenging ascents and exhilarating descents while runners and hikers enjoy trails ranging from 2km to 20km across spectacular landscapes.

The popular, family resort of costa Teguise is in easy reach of lanzarote international Airport and the island’s capital city of Arrecife.

The resort offers world class windsurfing conditions on its Las Cucharas beach; a range of International and traditional Canarian restaurants; sports clothing and equipment hire and shops, and easy access to some of Lanzarote’s best running and cycling routes.

Costa Teguise is perfect for running; there are many roads and trails around the area. The same is true for cycling; you can choose between flat roads or a hill training course and many of the routes are away from busy traffic! Swimming is good here too, there’s the beach with clear water and a 25m swimming pool and also the onsite gym at Sands Beach. The weather is always way better at Costa Teguise than at any other spot on the Island too”

Nicholas Ward Muñoz. Professional Triathlete.

The east coast setting of Sands Beach Resort is a natural sun trap on this Canary Island blessed with all year round sunshine.

The word apartment barely begins to describe the spacious accommodation that looks out onto the swimming pools, the lagoon, the public beachfront and Atlantic Ocean beyond.

From self catering to full board and from single occupancy to three bed comfort and group parties, everyone can enjoy our wide range of on-site facilities. Each apartment has its own terrace and sun loungers, and a spacious layout inside provides a real home from home with a fully equipped kitchen and the option of eating inside or out on the terrace where you can take in the stunning views.

NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES FROM NOW ON

Lanzarote is blessed with year-round temperatures that rarely drop below 14ºC/57ºF even on ‘winter’ nights and are topped at around 29ºC/84ºF by the cooling trade winds at the height of summer.

The sun shines on average 7 to 8 hours a day and the island averages 130mm of rain a year, around 11% of the UK’s average annual rainfall which is around 1166mm.

The surfers’ friend, prevailing NE Trade Winds

fan the island near-constantly, at their lightest during the winter months of November to January and building in strength during the summer to cool the intensity of the sun.
