Tourists in Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the third island by arrival volume, with remarkably stable demand throughout the year. In August 2026, Lanzarote received 313,051 tourists, 6.8% above the same month of 2025. That figure represents 20.0% of the 1,566,954 arrivals recorded across the Canary Islands that month.

The best month in the available series is July 2026, with 316,835 arrivals. So far in 2026 (January–August), Lanzarote totals 2,268,886 tourists. In 2025, Lanzarote received 3,326,221 tourists over the full year.

ISTAC's island-level breakdown for Lanzarote is available from September 2024. The series is updated every month with each FRONTUR release; the latest data point is August 2026.

Across the available ISTAC series, winter months (November–March) average 284,200 tourists per month in Lanzarote, against 279,888 in the summer months (June–September): 1.5% above. The strongest month in the series is July 2026 (316,835 arrivals) and the weakest is September 2025 (251,000).

If you are looking for fewer crowds, the quieter months are those below that average; if you want the season with the widest choice and air connectivity, winter concentrates peak demand.

Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise hold most tourist accommodation, on an island whose model is shaped by the building-height and design rules championed by César Manrique.

The United Kingdom and Ireland are the dominant markets, with a significant German presence. The year-round stability of that demand explains why Lanzarote has the flattest series among the larger islands.

Note: annual per-island totals combine exact ISTAC figures with rounded estimates for the months where the source publishes only each island's percentage share.
