Lanzarote is a year-round destination, but the experience shifts with the wind and the school holidays. If you want one simple answer: late spring and early autumn are the sweet spots. For a home base that handles every season well, Selectum Lanza in Costa Teguise is sheltered from the strongest gusts and a short walk from the beach.
January: Quiet Winter Days
Daytime temperatures sit around 20–21 °C and nights drop to 14 °C. Rain is possible but short-lived. The island feels empty, prices are low, and hiking Timanfaya’s trails is comfortable.
February: Spring-Like Warmth
Similar to January but slowly warming. Almond trees bloom in the interior. It is a great month for walking, cycling and volcano tours without the summer heat.
March: Ideal for Active Trips
Temperatures reach 22 °C and the wind is still moderate. March is perfect for hiking, photography and exploring the vineyards of La Geria before the busy season begins.
April: Calm and Warming Up
Easter can bring a short spike in visitors, but the rest of the month is peaceful. Days are warm enough for the beach, and the sea is refreshing rather than cold.
May: One of the Best Months
Daytime highs of 24–25 °C, little rain, light winds and warm water make May a top choice for beaches, snorkelling and coastal walks. Crowds arrive later in the month.
June: Peak Beach Weather
Long sunny days, temperatures around 26–27 °C and the trade winds keep the heat pleasant. June is excellent for families and anyone who wants reliable beach weather before the July rush.
July: Hot and Breezy
Temperatures climb to 28–29 °C and the north-east trade wind is more noticeable — great for windsurfers, occasionally challenging for sunbathers on exposed west beaches. Costa Teguise is calmer thanks to its sheltered position.
August: Hottest and Busiest
August is the warmest month, often above 30 °C, and the busiest with European families. Book restaurants and accommodation early. Mornings and evenings are the most comfortable times to explore.
September: Warm Water, Fewer Crowds
The sea is at its warmest after a summer of sun, air temperatures stay around 27 °C, and visitor numbers drop after the first week. September is arguably the best all-round month for a beach-and-explore holiday.
October: Late-Summer Feel
Days are still 25–26 °C and the water remains swimmable. October is excellent for hiking, surfing and winery visits, though occasional showers can appear toward the end of the month.
November: Tranquil and Mild
Temperatures settle around 23 °C and the island quiets down. It is a favourite month for long-stay visitors and hikers who want clear skies without the heat.
December: Christmas Sun
Days average 20–21 °C, with cool evenings. Christmas and New Year draw a small festive crowd. It is a reliable escape for winter sun and volcano walks.
Why Costa Teguise Works Year-Round
Costa Teguise sits on the east coast, partly sheltered from the strongest Atlantic winds that hit Famara and the west. That makes it more comfortable in July and August, while still offering easy access to surf beaches, Timanfaya and the island’s top attractions.
Selectum Lanza is a 2-bedroom oceanfront apartment with a sun terrace, fast Wi-Fi and free parking — a practical base for any season. Booking direct avoids platform fees and often saves up to 15%.
