Here you won’t find just postcard-worthy beaches and volcanic landscapes: the island has become a true example of accessible tourism, with modern facilities, dedicated services, and many activities designed for those traveling with special needs.

A small, welcoming island that is easy to navigate: three characteristics that make it perfect for those who want to move around independently and without stress.

Why choose Lanzarote if you have mobility difficulties

If you’re wondering whether Lanzarote is suitable for those in wheelchairs or with other mobility needs, the answer is yes. In recent years, significant strides have been made to make the island increasingly inclusive and welcoming.

Here’s why it’s worth considering:

• Accessible beaches with walkways and amphibious chairs.
• Equipped hotels with spacious rooms and dedicated services.
• Tourist attractions that have eliminated architectural barriers.
• Public and private transport with adapted vehicles.
• You can count on a comprehensive guide by World2Wander, created for those who wish to discover the island’s wonders independently and without obstacles.

Accessible beaches where you can relax without worries

Do you want to enjoy the sea in total tranquility? Lanzarote offers several equipped beaches that combine natural beauty and comfort, perfect for both relaxing and swimming safely.

The most popular for accessibility:

• Playa Grande (Puerto del Carmen):walkways, adapted bathrooms, amphibious chair.
• Playa Dorada (Playa Blanca):easy access from the promenade and shaded area.
• Playa Las Cucharas (Costa Teguise):shaded area and bath chair assistance.

You can find all the details on these and other adapted beaches in the guide “Lanzarote without Barriers” by World2Wander.

Barrier-free accommodation: sleep comfortably and securely

Sleeping well is essential to enjoy each day to the fullest. In Lanzarote, you will find modern hotels and apartments, perfectly equipped.

What to expect from accessible facilities:

• Spacious rooms with sliding doors.
• Bathrooms with flush floor showers and grab bars.
• Spacious elevators and step-free reception.
• Pools with ramps or lifts.

The most equipped and accessible areas where it’s best to stay are Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise. In Puerto del Carmen, however, not all areas are flat: to avoid uncomfortable slopes, we recommend choosing accommodation in the flatter areas, preferably near the promenade.

Accessible experiences to experience the island without barriers

Lanzarote is full of incredible places you can visit without worries. Many attractions have been made accessible to ensure inclusive experiences for everyone.

Here are some must-see stops:

• The National Park Timanfaya, with buses equipped with lift platforms.
• La Casa-Museo César Manrique, where the artist who transformed the island lived, barrier-free.
• Long walks along the promenade of Puerto del Carmen.
• Audioguides by World2Wander to explore at your own pace Arrecife, Teguise, and many other places

There are also local entities specializing in experiences dedicated to people with disabilities, such as nature excursions, guided tours, and adapted activities.

From the moment you arrive on the island, you can count on comprehensive assistance. At the César Manrique airport a free service is available to help you from arrival to boarding: just request it on the site AENA at least 48 hours before the flight.
