Nestled in the heart of the Canary Islands, Lanzarote is a volcanic jewel offering dramatic landscapes, turquoise waters, and vibrant culture. Staying at Casa MIALMA, a beautifully styled retreat in the middle of the island, provides the perfect base for a 5-day island adventure. Here's how to make the most of your time exploring Lanzarote's diverse natural beauty, from sun-drenched beaches to wine-filled valleys.
Day 1: discovering Puerto del Carmen & Wine Tasting in La Geria, a great start to your five days in Lanzarote
Morning: Puerto del Carmen & Its Beaches. Start your first day slowly by heading down from Casa MIALMA Lanzarote to the buzzing town of Puerto del Carmen.
Once a fishing village, it’s now a lively coastal hub with charm and character. Wander the old town’s cobbled streets, then make your way to the beach promenade. Stretching for several kilometers, you'll find multiple sandy coves to enjoy, like Playa Grande or the more tranquil Playa Chica, ideal for a dip in the clear Atlantic waters.
Grab a café con leche at a seafront café and soak in the sun and salty breeze—it’s the perfect introduction to Lanzarote’s relaxed rhythm.
Evening: Wine Tasting in La Geria
In the afternoon, head inland to La Geria, Lanzarote’s unique wine region where vines grow in black volcanic ash. The landscape is surreal—green vines nestled in circular stone pits framed by sweeping lava fields. Visit one of the local bodegas such as Bodega Rubicón or El Grifo, where you can sample Malvasía wines while enjoying views of the vineyards under the golden evening light.
Day 2: Haría, Mirador del Río & a swim in Punta Mujeres
Morning: Exploring Haría & Mirador del Río
The second day of your five days in Lanzarote begins with a beautiful visit to the north.
Drive north to the lush Valley of a Thousand Palms and discover Haría, a serene village surrounded by palm groves and mountains. Stroll through its artisan market or visit the former home of artist César Manrique.
Continue to the Mirador del Río, one of Manrique’s architectural masterpieces, perched high above the cliffs. From here, enjoy breathtaking views over the Chinijo Archipelago, especially La Graciosa, a small untouched island just off the coast.
Afternoon: Punta Mujeres & Jameo del Agua
On your way back down, stop for a swim in Punta Mujeres, a peaceful fishing village known for its natural lava rock pools. The crystal-clear water is perfect for a refreshing dip, and the calm atmosphere makes it ideal for unwinding after a full morning of exploration. And after a nice refreshing bath, end your day with another of Manrique's masterpieces: Jameo del Agua..
Day 3: Surf & Serenity in Famara
The third day is all about embracing the raw energy of Famara on the island's northwest coast. This windswept beach is famed for its dramatic cliffs and Atlantic waves, making it a hotspot for surfers and photographers alike.
Whether you're catching a surf lesson, walking barefoot along the endless sandy shore, or simply sitting and watching the kite surfers glide across the water, Famara delivers a different kind of beach experience—wild, free, and unforgettable.
Grab lunch in the laid-back village of Caleta de Famara, where you'll find a surf-town vibe and fresh seafood served with ocean views.
Day 4: coastal Walk from Puerto Calero to Playa Quemada
Lace up your walking shoes for a gentle coastal hike from Puerto Calero to Playa Quemada. This scenic path hugs the shoreline, offering uninterrupted views of the sea and the island’s volcanic terrain.
Start from the chic marina of Puerto Calero, dotted with boutique shops and cafés. As you walk, the landscape becomes more rugged, with black rock cliffs plunging into deep blue waters. After about an hour, you’ll arrive in Playa Quemada, a quiet beach town where time seems to slow down.
Enjoy a long lunch at a beachfront restaurant like El Pescador - Casa MIalma love it - known for its fresh fish and local charm.
Day 5: Relax on the Beaches of Papagayo
Save the best for last: Playa de Papagayo, a collection of golden sand beaches tucked within the Los Ajaches Natural Park. Protected and pristine, these beaches are some of the most beautiful in all of Lanzarote.
Arrive early to beat the crowds and choose your perfect spot—whether it’s the iconic crescent of Playa Papagayo or the quieter neighboring coves like Playa Mujeres or Playa del Pozo. Spend the day sunbathing, snorkeling, or simply doing nothing at all.
The soft sand, clear turquoise water, and silence broken only by the gentle waves make it the ultimate place to reflect on your island adventure.
Five days at Casa MIALMA Lanzarote offers more than just a holiday—it’s a deep dive into the essence of Lanzarote. From volcanic wine regions and hidden beaches to artisan villages and surf-swept shores, every day uncovers a new side of the island. Whether you're seeking adventure, tranquility, or a bit of both, Lanzarote delivers—and Casa MIALMA is the perfect place to call home while you discover it all.
