Your Next Family Holiday: Ibiza Vs Lanzarote

Despite the typical images of fun fuelled adult holidays, can Ibiza and Lanzarote family holidays offer more than meets the eye?

Ibiza – The Lowdown

First and foremost Ibiza holiday deals usually come hand-in-hand with the island’s world famous nightlife. In recent years, the government in Ibiza have instructed significant alterations to the island to make it more child friendly.

Located in the Balearic Islands, just less than two hours away from the UK, Ibiza holiday deals could be your ticket to quality family time in the sun.

Ibiza – Activities

Although Ibiza lacks the amount of family friendly attractions that its sister island Majorca boasts, there’s plenty to do around and about the main tourist areas.

Thanks to recent improvements, streets are now lined with parks, trampolines and other activities to keep the kids entertained.

Aguarmar waterpark in Playa d'en Bossa is fun for all the family, while Karting San Antonio and Smuggler's Cave sealife centre are alternative options.

Lanzarote – The Low Down

Located in the Canary Islands, off the west coast of Africa, Lanzarote boasts scorching summer temperatures and a year round sunny climate.  Flights here take a little longer than to Ibiza, lasting approximately three hours.

Although often seen as an adult’s escape, Lanzarote has been welcoming families to its safe shores for decades, with plenty of diehard Lanzarote holiday broods returning year after year to prove it.

Lanzarote – Activities

One of the most popular attractions in Lanzarote is the Rancho Texas Park in Puerto del Carmen. Expect Wild, Wild West themed action with crocs, saloons and goldmines to boot.

Other days out include Aquapark in Costa Teguise and Guinate Tropical Park, an extraordinary wildlife park to the north of the island.
