When it comes to youth group trips, Lanzarote offers the perfect mix of sun, fun, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re planning a lads’ getaway packed with beach days and cocktails, or a girls’ trip full of sun-kissed selfies and dancing all night, this Canary Island delivers. And guess what? The party doesn’t stop when you land back in the UK—especially if you end your adventure with a night out at Bola 8 and The Pool Lounge in London. (Yes, it’s totally doable!)
Let’s dive into how to plan the ultimate Lanzarote trip with your mates—with some expert tips for making it one for the books.
✈️ 1. Choose the Right Travel Agency (Hint: Youth Specialists)
Not all travel agencies are made equal, especially when it comes to youth tourism. You’ll want to book through a youth tourism agency that specialises in teen tourism or young adult adventures. These companies understand the vibe: minimal stress, maximum freedom.
Look for agencies offering flexible itineraries, access to beach parties, local excursions, and youth-friendly accommodation. Some even offer private villas with pools—perfect for pre-drinks before heading out.

🏝️ 2. Pick the Perfect Spot to Stay
Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca or Costa Teguise? Each area offers something different. For party people, Puerto del Carmen is the place to be—clubs, beach bars, and chilled spots for your morning hangover cure.
Playa Blanca is great for a slightly more upscale experience, while Costa Teguise hits the sweet spot for balance between activity and chill.
Looking for that VIP edge? Here’s how to do a luxury trip to Lanzarote without blowing the whole group’s budget.
🚐 3. Airport Transfers: Don’t Get Stranded
After a flight, no one wants to queue for taxis or figure out public transport with suitcases in tow. Pre-book your Lanzarote airport transfers to save time and keep the vibes going. Whether you’re arriving as a big group or flying in solo to meet the crew, private transfers or shared shuttles are budget-friendly and reliable.
🍻 4. Must-Do Activities for Every Youth Trip
Here’s a quick hit list of activities that are tailor-made for youth tourism groups:
- Beach Club Days: Rent loungers, sip sangria, and relax like royalty.
- Catamaran Parties: Music, drinks and swimming in turquoise water.
- Volcano Tours: Surprisingly fun after a night out (plus, amazing pics).
- Buggy or Quad Rentals: Adrenaline and dirt included.
- Bar Crawls: Most towns have guided nights out for groups. Worth it.
Pro tip: Always designate a group leader or create a shared Google doc with times, bookings, and must-haves. You’ll thank us later.
📸 5. Capture It All
Don’t forget to:
- Make a shared photo album (Google Photos or iCloud)
- Nominate a group videographer (every squad has one)
- Create a group hashtag to relive the moments on socials
Keep the energy alive even after you’re back home.
💃 6. Continue the Fiesta in London: Bola 8 & The Pool Lounge
Just because your Lanzarote trip ends, doesn’t mean the party has to stop.
If your group is returning through London (or you’re UK-based), plan a final hurrah at Bola 8 and The Pool Lounge in Elephant & Castle. It’s the best Latin party experience in London—ideal for reminiscing about that wild beach night or dancing like you’re still on the island.
🎧 Reggaetón, salsa, bachata and Latin house
🍹 Signature cocktails
💃 Latin vibes and friendly faces
🎟️ Book via Fatsoma to avoid the queue
Trust us—Lanzarote might have the beaches, but London’s got the rhythm. The flight’s not that long from the Canary Islands, so if you’re already in celebration mode, don’t let the energy drop.
