Ducati all revved up for Lanzarote

Rugged, stylish and awe inspiring, that’s the volcanic Lanzarote landscape, it’s not just a hit with tourists, it’s a great backdrop for photo sessions. Sometimes top models head for the craggy hills to contrast with the beauty of nature, but the latest high profile visitor was the new Ducati Multistrada 1200 S.

The famous Italian motorbike company chose Timanfaya National Park as the setting to road test and generally showcase it’s new powerful and sleek machine. The World’s motoring media gathered to see the  beast put through its paces. The bike has four distinct modes, Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro and Lanzarote was the ideal terrain to push the bike to the limits. Reviews have been very flattering, and Lanzarote has gained even more international admirers.

Timanfaya is normally much quieter, but always a popular attraction as visitors enjoy the lava fields and demonstrations of the heat that is held close to the surface. Sands Beach Resort Hotel is well placed in nearby Costa Teguise, and reception can always find the right excursion trip for you to sample the wonders of Timanfaya.

Ironman Lanzarote and Sands Beach Resort, what a team.

Even professional triathletes need that extra boost, Nicolas (Nico) Ward Munoz took on the Lanzarote Ironman contest last weekend with the logo of Sands Beach Resort Hotel on his chest, and the website address on his shorts. It was with great pride that we saw him finish 6th in the mens competition, nice to know we played our part.

A 3.8 km swim, 180 kms cycling, and finally,42.2 kms running, maked this the toughest and most respected of all the World Ironman contests. Each year Puerto del Carmen is the start and finish point for some 1,200 plus competitors, professional and keen amateurs, as many thousands swarm the route to cheer them on. This year was as exciting as ever, and in an amazing feat, last years winners came through victorious again. Scotlands Bella Bayliss took the ladies honours in 9 hours and 54 minutes (yes it really does take that long) and Belgians Bert Jammaer was top man in 8 hours and 54 minutes.

Lanzarote born Gregorio Morales was a popular fourth placed competitor, but Nico had plenty of support from Costa Teguise and his favourite beachfront family hotel. Don’t worry, we don’t expect our guests to do anything more athletic than swim in our 6 outdoor pools, or sample our gym or tennis courts. But if you want a challenge Lanzarote has many to offer.
