Haría is a small inland town of around 4,800 people on Lanzarote, set at about 287 metres (940 feet) above sea level rather than on the shore. That height and position shape a holiday here: you come for the views and the quiet, with the coast a short drive away. Two clifftop lookouts, Mirador Los Valles and Mirador de las Nieves, lie within about 3 miles of the town, and Guinate Tropical Park is close by for families. Lanzarote airport, with direct flights from the United Kingdom, is roughly 22 minutes by car, and the climate stays mild all year, with daytime highs between 18°C and 23°C.
Why go
- Mirador Los Valles, a nature viewpoint just 1.5 miles from the town centre.
- Guinate Tropical Park, a family zoo around 2.6 miles away, makes an easy half-day out.
- Lanzarote airport has direct UK flights and is only about 22 minutes' drive away.

Quiet Inland Base or Coastal Resort
Haría itself is inland and small, so staying in town suits travellers who want peace, cooler evenings at altitude and easy access to the northern viewpoints. Expect a calm, residential feel rather than nightlife.
If you would rather wake up by the sea, Costa Teguise is about 10 miles away and Arrecife, the island's largest town, around 13 miles, both offering a livelier base with Haría as a day out. This page shows live hotel prices so you can compare the options for your dates.

Tips from Robin
Practical Tips for Your Stay
Haría sits at about 287 metres, so evenings can feel a touch fresher than on the coast, particularly in winter when lows dip to around 15°C. A light layer is worth packing.
With fewer than 5,000 residents and an inland position, the town is quiet, and the viewpoints, zoo and beaches are spread out. Hiring a car at the airport gives you the most freedom. If you travel in May or June, allow for the odd shower, as those months see the most rainy days.
