Exploring Lanzarote with your pet
Travelling to Lanzarote doesn't have to mean leaving your pet at home. Pet-friendly hotels here often prepare a comfortable bed, treats and a fresh water bowl in the room, and front desk staff can usually point you toward nearby walking routes through the island's walkable streets and open green spaces. Areas like Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise tend to make relaxed bases, with outdoor cafes that often welcome pets. Book a pet-friendly hotel in Lanzarote and your whole crew arrives together.
Getting to Lanzarote with a pet
Lanzarote Airport (ACE) is the closest airport to Lanzarote's city centre, about 10 kilometres away.
Airlines usually set many of the rules for travelling with animals. Weight limits, carrier dimensions and whether your pet is allowed in the cabin can all differ. Get the details before booking your flights and pet-friendly hotel in Lanzarote.
The rules for entry are just as important. The permits and paperwork needed before your pet can enter Lanzarote differ depending on your point of departure.
Taxis and public transport don't always have the same rules. Some require carriers or leashes, while others may not allow pets at all. Knowing what to expect can make getting to the city centre from the airport much smoother.
Book in advance
The 'Pets allowed' filter under amenities is the fastest way to find hotels that allow pets in Lanzarote. Availability may be limited, particularly for larger dogs, since these rooms are often the first to go. The sooner you book, the more value and choice you'll get.
...Or score a last-minute pet-friendly stay
Last-minute deals tend to show up when hotels have rooms left to fill, especially in quieter months. If your schedule is flexible, this approach can work in your favor. And the more pet-friendly hotels there are to choose from, the better your chances of finding one.
Flexible dates can unlock better prices
Moving your trip by just a few days could help you find a better rate. Look at how weekday and weekend prices compare, avoid popular events if you can, and skip holiday periods where possible. Pet owners have extra reason to plan ahead, as cheap pet-friendly hotels in Lanzarote tend to fill up before standard rooms.
Things to know before staying in a pet-friendly hotel in Lanzarote
No two pet-friendly hotels are exactly alike. Some charge an additional fee, set size limits for pets, or only allow certain animals. Knowing the rules upfront saves you from any hassles at check-in. Here are the key things to look out for.
Typical pet fees and deposits
Charges can be applied in a few different ways. Some hotels that allow pets in Lanzarote could add a nightly fee, while others charge once for your whole stay. You might also come across a one-off cleaning fee or a deposit that's returned when you check out. Read the fine print carefully.
Check size and breed restrictions
Many hotels have size restrictions. Some only accept small dogs, while others have a maximum weight. There may also be a limit on how many pets you can bring.
There's more than size to think about. A hotel that takes pets could still turn away some breeds of dog. Cats often face separate rules, so somewhere that's dog-friendly won't always take cats.
Hotels typically treat service animals differently from pets, with their own set of rules. If this is your situation, check with the hotel directly to find out more.
Look for pet-friendly amenities
The best pet-friendly hotels in Lanzarote go beyond simply welcoming your pet. You may find a cozy dog bed, bowls for food and water, or even a welcome treat in your room.
It's worth checking everything the hotel has to offer. Services such as pet-sitting or on-site grooming can save you time and hassle during your trip.
Easy access to green space and parks can really come in handy while travelling with your dog. Make use of the map view while searching hotels with pets allowed in Lanzarote to see what's in the area.
Understand local pet rules
Pet rules often vary from one place to another. Local leash laws, restaurant policies, and pet access on public transport might differ across Lanzarote. It's a good idea to check what applies at the places you plan to visit before you head out.
When to visit Lanzarote with a pet
High season in Lanzarote{BD}July, August, and December are Lanzarote's busiest months. Crowds are larger, hotels fill up fast, and both flight and accommodation prices tend to climb — so booking well ahead makes a real difference. July and August bring intense heat, which means pavements can get hot enough to hurt a dog's paws. Stick to grass where you can find it, seek out shaded spots, and plan walks for early morning or evening when the temperature drops. December is milder and more comfortable for pets outdoors. One genuine upside of the busy season is that outdoor terrace culture is in full swing — cafes and restaurants with outside seating often welcome well-behaved pets, so you'll have plenty of options for a relaxed bite to eat with your companion beside you.{NSN}Low season in Lanzarote{BD}April, May, and June are the quietest months to visit. Prices for pet-friendly hotels in Lanzarote tend to drop during this period, flights can be cheaper too, and the overall cost of the trip is easier on your wallet. The city moves at a slower pace, which can make a real difference when you're travelling with a pet — streets and open spaces are less crowded, and you're more likely to walk into a restaurant without a long wait. Less hustle generally means a calmer, more enjoyable trip for both of you. The weather in these months is warm and pleasant, though spring can bring occasional breezy days. A light layer for cooler evenings is worth packing, and it's still wise to avoid midday sun with your pet as temperatures start to build toward summer.
