Lanzarote Retreats&#8217; weather table, printed on every property page, gives December an average of 20 \u00b0C with 29 mm of rain; January is 18 \u00b0C and 16 mm, November 22 \u00b0C and 15 mm. The operator says the average from December to March is about 21 \u00b0C. In plain terms, December is warm enough for the beach and the pool in the middle of the day, and cool enough in the evening that you will want a fleece.<\/p><p>It is also the wettest month in that table, and we would not pretend otherwise. The island is the driest of the Canaries, so 29 mm still means a lot of dry, bright days; what you might get is a grey, breezy day or a short shower, and the operator&#8217;s packing advice is to bring a light waterproof. Occasional calima \u2014 Saharan dust and warm haze \u2014 and trade winds are part of the island&#8217;s weather, and the north-facing beaches can have swell. The sea is cool rather than warm, so think roughly 19\u201320 \u00b0C and plan on a wetsuit if anyone wants to spend serious time in the Atlantic.<\/p><p>Daylight is the quiet winner. A December day in Lanzarote has far more light than one in Finland, and the island is two hours behind Helsinki and on UK time, so there is no jet lag after a flight of roughly six hours from Finland or four from the UK. Sun protection still matters even in winter, and the roads in the volcanic landscape reward careful driving.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_Decembers_Before_18_December_and_Christmas_to_New_Year\"><\/span>Two Decembers: Before 18 December and Christmas to New Year<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first half of December and the festive fortnight are different holidays with different prices, so decide which one you want before you look at homes. The first half is the quieter end of winter sun: a calmer island, and weeks that are, on the dates we sampled, noticeably cheaper than January. The days from Christmas to New Year are the peak, when families from all over Europe want the same homes, and the best ones go first.<\/p><p>This matters for our discount. Our first code covers stays up to and including 18 December 2026, with Christmas and New Year peak dates excluded, and our second covers stays from January 2027. If your family is tied to the school holidays, a stay that starts before 18 December and ends before Christmas will use the first code; anything that crosses the Christmas or New Year dates is at normal price, and January onwards uses the second. We would rather tell you that than let you find out at checkout.

That is exactly the gap that makes the first half of December interesting for a family on a budget. At the Finca de Arrieta homes the price does not change when children are added, because children 17 and under go free, according to the operator.

Keep one day for a drive to the C\u00e9sar Manrique sites \u2014 Jameos del Agua and the Cueva de los Verdes \u2014 which suit a cooler or greyer day, and another for Timanfaya and the volcanic landscape, with a market morning at Har\u00eda or Teguise.<\/p><p>Leave at least two days unplanned. December weather can change within a day, and an island this small gives you options: if the north is breezy, the south or Costa Teguise is often a few minutes away by car. Pack a fleece, a light waterproof, swimming things, a wetsuit if anyone wants to swim in the sea, and a small torch for the evening walk back from the village. Remember that off-grid homes do not provide a kettle, dishwasher or TV, and hairdryers are on request.<\/p><p>For babies and toddlers, the baby kit is free on request: travel cot, high chair, changing mat, potty, toddler step and baby bath. Child car seats are free if you take the operator&#8217;s car.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s7\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practicalities_Minimum_Stay_Deposit_and_Getting_There\"><\/span>Practicalities: Minimum Stay, Deposit and Getting There<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Finca de Arrieta accepts flexible arrival days and stays of 3 nights (2 nights if you arrive within a month), which makes a December long weekend possible. Some villas have their own minimum stays \u2014 Villa Ocean Bliss, for example, asks for four nights \u2014 so check the page. Check-in is from 16:00 and check-out by 10:00.<\/p><p>The payment rules are strict, so read them: a 30% non-refundable deposit at booking and the balance due 30 days before arrival, or the full amount if you book inside 30 days. If you cancel, the deposit is forfeited, and inside 30 days the operator retains 100%. Travel insurance is recommended and we agree, especially for a Christmas-period trip.<\/p><p>For Finca de Arrieta, Casa Lili, Villa Palacio, Casa Pino, the Fisherman&#8217;s Cottage and the Boutique Beach Villa, the operator can arrange a private airport transfer with 48 hours&#8217; notice, and the package includes a complimentary 5-seater car for up to 7 days; the price depends on your group and dates, so ask for a quote. Drivers must be 25 or older with a licence held for two years.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s8\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Book_With_the_Hungrytravelfamily_Codes\"><\/span>How to Book With the Hungrytravelfamily Codes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lanzarote Retreats takes bookings directly on lanzaroteretreats.com, or by WhatsApp or phone, and we never take payment.

You get 20 \u00b0C, long light days and a beach at the bottom of the track while Finland is in the dark, and the first half of the month is the quieter, cheaper end of the season. What you give up is a guarantee of perfect weather \u2014 it is the wettest month on the operator&#8217;s table \u2014 and warm sea water. We have not stayed at any of these homes, so we send you with the operator&#8217;s facts and the booking engine&#8217;s quotes, and we would book the earliest week that suits your family.<\/p><p>If you can travel before 18 December, the <a class=\"htf-book-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lanzaroteretreats.com\/holiday-home\/eco-cabin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" style=\"color:#2D5A3D;font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#C8A45A;text-underline-offset:3px;\">Eco Cabin<\/a><span style=\"display:inline-block;font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase;background:#C8A45A;color:#0d2018;padding:2px 6px;border-radius:3px;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:2px;\">5% off \u00b7 code inside<\/span> and the <a class=\"htf-book-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lanzaroteretreats.com\/holiday-home\/eco-tower\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" style=\"color:#2D5A3D;font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#C8A45A;text-underline-offset:3px;\">Eco Tower<\/a><span style=\"display:inline-block;font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase;background:#C8A45A;color:#0d2018;padding:2px 6px;border-radius:3px;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:2px;\">5% off \u00b7 code inside<\/span> are where we would start; for a bigger group, the <a class=\"htf-book-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lanzaroteretreats.com\/holiday-home\/eco-luxury-farmhouse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" style=\"color:#2D5A3D;font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#C8A45A;text-underline-offset:3px;\">Eco Luxury Farmhouse<\/a><span style=\"display:inline-block;font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase;background:#C8A45A;color:#0d2018;padding:2px 6px;border-radius:3px;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:2px;\">5% off \u00b7 code inside<\/span> or <a class=\"htf-book-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lanzaroteretreats.com\/holiday-home\/villa-las-palmitas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" style=\"color:#2D5A3D;font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-color:#C8A45A;text-underline-offset:3px;\">Villa Las Palmitas<\/a><span style=\"display:inline-block;font-size:10px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:1.5px;text-transform:uppercase;background:#C8A45A;color:#0d2018;padding:2px 6px;border-radius:3px;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:2px;\">5% off \u00b7 code inside<\/span>.
