Holidays to Puerto Calero

For a good pinch of Canary Island glamour, a hefty dollop of Lanzarote sunshine, dramatic volcanic scenery and endless Atlantic adventures, look no further than a Puerto Calero holiday in 2025.

Smooth sailing

With a top selection of boat trips to sign up to, from exciting catamaran rides to glam outings on a luxury yacht (yes please!), holidays to Puerto Calero are made for wannabe sailors. Spend your days cruising along the coast, keeping your eyes peeled for dolphins, or crank up the adrenaline with jet skiing and parasailing.

When you’re not on the water, you’re likely to be by the water in Millionaire’s Harbour, the luxury resort’s swish marina. Think gleaming superyachts, palm-fringed promenades and tempting restaurants and shops in which to while away a gloriously lazy afternoon. Eat, drink, shop, and soak up the fancy marina vibes – no captain’s licence required.

Drama, lava and volcanic caves

For a little more adventure, swap your boat shoes for sturdier footwear and head inland to explore Lanzarote’s eye-popping, out-of-this-world scenery. Think volcanic craters, fiery lava fields and amazing rock formations that look more like manmade sculptures.

A couple of highlights here include Timanfaya National Park’s otherworldly, Mars-like terrain and Cueva de los Verdes, a stupendously long lava tube that has a fascinating history to go with its stunning features (pirates pop up!).

Sunshine on tap

Puerto Calero is always in holiday mode, so whether you’re the sort who has their suitcase packed months in advance, or more of a last-minute kind of traveller, the upmarket resort has you covered all year round.

Whatever you’re into – soaking up rays poolside, exploring architectural gems (especially by the late, great local artist César Manrique) or hitting the water – there’s a Puerto Calero holiday for you and your crew anytime you feel like getting away.

Time for action

You want action-packed days and heart-pumping fun? You got it. From your cosy base in Puerto Calero, you can hike, bike, dive and splash your way around the scenic playground that is Lanzarote.

Gems include treks to the summit of Hacha Grande, cycling through the bright red Montañas del Fuego (which literally translates as Fire Mountains!) and whale and dolphin spotting off the island’s coast (Sea Safaris Lanzarote is one of the local providers).

Things to explore

Family Friendly: Sandy beaches, submarines and camels

Puerto Calero holidays are very family-friendly, with attractions and experiences that range from the epic (like a bright yellow submarine deep dive into Lanzarote’s kaleidoscopic marine world) to classic, fuss-free winners. And here we’re talking about beaches. You’ll find Puerto del Carmen’s sands a short hop away, with Playa Chica’s clear, calm waters perfect for little snorkelers. Elsewhere, for a volcanic family adventure with a twist, take a Canarian camel ride at Timanfaya National Park (this isn’t your average family trip!). You and your mini-mes can also get fast and furious behind the wheel of a go-kart at Gran Karting Lanzarote.

Food and drink: Fresh seafood and volcanic vinos

Puerto Calero’s plentiful waterfront cafés and restaurants serve up international dishes (the Bollywood restaurant does curries) and fresh seafood (Amura is Mediterranean-themed). In short, food for everyone! For a real treat, take a wine tour through the breathtaking landscapes of La Geria, where you’ll see vines growing in strange black funnels, and, of course, enjoy a sample of some of Lanzarote’s famous volcanic vinos. Cheers to that!

Culture and history: César takes centre stage

Lanzarote packs a cultural punch like no other Canary Island – and you can largely thank César Manrique for that. The island is peppered with outstanding contributions by the artist, architect and sculptor. See what we’re talking about at the Fundación César Manrique and Jameos del Agua, an art/culture centre that has been built into and around a volcanic cave (home to an underground lake, lush gardens and acoustic magic!). For a taste of history with killer views, check out Castillo de San José, a fortress-turned-art museum in Arrecife. And don’t miss the lively Sunday market in Teguise, where the historic centre buzzes with stalls and live music.

When to go to Puerto Calero

Whenever you want. No, really. Thanks to Lanzarote’s brilliant Canary Island climate, Puerto Calero is blessed with gorgeous weather throughout the year.

If you’re looking for budget-friendly deals, then low season is your season (November to March). It’s also a milder and quieter time to visit the resort. For the best beach weather minus the crowds, plan your Puerto Calero holiday for late spring (April-May) for temperatures close to the mid-20s or early autumn (September-October) to enjoy weather in the late-20s.

The summer months, of course, are a no-brainer, especially if you like your sunshine extra hot and your backdrops extra lively. This is peak season, so expect higher prices and more fellow travellers.
