A Dream Weekend in Lanzarote: Renting the Island’s Prettiest House and Smart Travel Hacks
#canaryislands If you’re planning a short getaway to #Lanzarote and want to experience both beauty and savings, here’s exactly how I did it — and how you can too. ✨
I found what might be the most beautiful house on the island through Trip.com, and it was an absolute gem. Set near the volcanic hills, this modern yet rustic home had panoramic views, a private terrace, whitewashed walls and cactus gardens that felt straight out of a magazine. The booking process through Trip.com was fast, reliable, and — best of all — included a great discount that made the price hard to believe. 💸💯
To move around the island, I also rented a car directly on Trip.com through Avis. Booking in advance online gave me access to a better rate, and I avoided all the airport counter hassle. For just around 25 to 30 euros per day, I had the freedom to drive wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted — which is crucial in Lanzarote since many of its treasures are hidden off the main roads.
One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the legendary Casa-Museo de César Manrique, the former home of Lanzarote’s most iconic artist. Located in Tahíche, it blends volcanic rock with futuristic architecture and art. It’s an inspiring stop that gives you deep insight into the soul of the island. Entry costs just 10 euros, and it’s worth every cent. 🎨🏠
I built my weekend itinerary around this. On Saturday, I explored the Timanfaya National Park and Caldera Blanca, and on Sunday, I toured Manrique’s house, took a swim in Playa Blanca, and ended the day with a seafood dinner near El Golfo.
What made the trip extra special was that I felt like I had unlocked a luxury weekend on a budget. Between the discounted accommodation, the car rental deal, and affordable activities, I managed to spend less than I normally would for a basic city break.
So if you’re heading to the Canary Islands, I 100% recommend checking Trip.com for rentals, both for the house and the car. It made the whole weekend smoother and more affordable — and left me with memories I’ll never forget.
