What is it about sunsets that makes them unforgettable?

Sometimes it’s their colors, other times the moment or the place — most often, all of it together. If you’re also a sunset lover, you surely have that special spot where you love to see the day end.

But what happens when we travel? Ah yes, the memories multiply! We know it’s been a good vacation when the camera is full of sunset photos.

Here you’ll discover where to enjoy the best sunset in Lanzarote. Take note!

El Golfo Beach

In the town of Yaiza lies El Golfo Beach, the most colorful on the island. Here, nature carved inside an ancient volcano the famous lagoon: Los Clicos or the Green Lagoon.

Every day, El Golfo enchants locals and visitors with the contrast of its volcanic scenery. The tropical green lagoon on one side, the vast Atlantic blue on the other. Add the fiery reds and oranges of the setting sun on copper-colored cliffs, and you have Lanzarote’s most magical sunset.

El Bosquecillo

At the Famara cliffs in northern Lanzarote, you’ll find El Bosquecillo. Readers of Condé Nast Traveler once voted its view one of the most beautiful sunsets in the Canary Islands.

From high above, Famara Beach glows with red hues as the sun hides behind a mountain range. If you want a sunset that makes time stand still, this is it.

Janubio Salt Flats

On an island surrounded by Atlantic salt water, it’s only natural to have saltworks. At Janubio Salt Flats, the salt shimmers in shades of pink and white.

When the sun sets, the reflective pools mirror the sky — it feels like watching the sunset in both sea and sky at once.

Santa Bárbara Castle

Perched atop the Guanapay Volcano, this 14th-century fortress once defended against pirates. Today, it offers cinematic sunsets and a romantic atmosphere.

Charco de San Ginés

A colorful fishing harbor in Arrecife, surrounded by whitewashed houses. Perfect for enjoying sunset with a drink and local food.
