The Irish know a good time when they see it, maybe that’s why they just love coming to Lanzarote. Everything they want for a family holiday is here, miles of beaches, plenty of bars and restaurants, nightlife for the younger ones, or a great setting to just relax in the sun.

The latest tourism figures for 2007, show that 45 per cent of all Irish visitors to the 7 Canary Islands, chose Lanzarote. Aer Lingus has been flying them in from Cork and Dublin, and Irish visitors are among the wide range of nationalities welcomed  by Sands Beach Resort hotel.

Now the sun seeking people of Northern Ireland can also join the rush to visit Lanzarote. As from September 30th, Aer Lingus will be making 8 flights a week from Belfast to Arrecife airport, just 30 minutes drive from Costa Teguise and Sands Beach Resort hotel. They can be sure of a warm welcome from Lanzarote and it’s people, and hopefully it will become as popular in the north as it already is in the south of Ireland.
