If you have a fascination for the sun and the sea, go for a holiday in Lanzarote. This sunny island in the Canaries is an excellent destination for windsurfing. The fourth largest of the Canary Islands with its volcanic landscape lies at a distance of 60 miles off the African coast.

Come to Lanzarote, the place will welcome you both with open arms. Yes, in this case, your wife will love the calm ambience of the Papagayo peninsula, and you will enjoy the happening nightlife of the Puerto del Carmen area.

The four chief resorts in the island are the Costa Teguise or the oldest holiday resort, Arrecife the capital, the fastest growing Playa Blanca and the busiest Puerto del Carmen.
