What to Do in Lanzarote on a Rainy Day
Visiting Lanzarote usually means dreaming of sun-soaked beaches and endless blue skies—but sometimes the weather has other plans. Don’t let a rainy day ruin your holiday! Lanzarote has plenty of indoor and weather-proof activities to keep you entertained. Here’s our ultimate guide.
Explore the Island’s Stunning Caves
Head north to discover Lanzarote’s incredible volcanic tunnels: La Cueva de los Verdes and Los Jameos del Agua. These lava formations stretch 6 km above sea level and another 1.5 km beneath the sea (fittingly named Tunnel Atlantida!).
La Cueva de los Verdes: Take a fully guided tour in multiple languages, lasting about an hour.
Los Jameos del Agua: Sip coffee in a cave, spot rare albino crabs in an underground lake, or learn about the island’s volcanic history at the discovery centre.
Immerse Yourself in Culture
Lanzarote is rich in culture, perfect for a rainy day adventure.
Fundación César Manrique: Discover the life and vision of Lanzarote’s famous artist and architect, whose designs transformed the island.
Castillo de San José: This modern art museum in Arrecife features international artwork and a stunning Canarian restaurant overlooking the harbour.
Treat Yourself to a Spa Day
Relax and recharge at one of Lanzarote’s luxurious spas. Many hotels allow day passes even for non-guests (check for kid-friendly hours if traveling with children). Beyond massages and facials, most spas offer hydro-circuits, steam rooms, saunas, and pools to soothe your body and mind.
Go Diving – Rain or Shine
Rain doesn’t matter underwater! Lanzarote’s clear waters are perfect for divers of all levels. Explore vibrant marine life or visit the Museo Atlántico, an underwater sculpture park by Jason deCaires Taylor. Dive centres offer guided dives for certified divers and try dives for first-timers.
