The wonderful island of Lanzarote is one of the most popular destinations in the Canary Islands and there are plenty of venues there where you can party the night away once the sun has gone down.
Cultural Differences
As a starting point, it is worth pointing out that in Lanzarote and many other parts of Spain, there is a fundamental difference to the meaning of a night club compared to the UK. In Lanzarote a Discoteca is where you go for music and a party atmosphere whereas a Night Club is generally the term used to describe a brothel, which is an altogether different type of party you will be getting involved with if you do not distinguish between the two when you are on the island.

Nightlife is not as noisy and outlandish as it is on neighbouring Tenerife but there is still a big choice of entertainment to suit most tastes. And if you do a bit of research before booking your accommodation using a site such as Housetrip, you should be able to find a suitable place to stay that is convenient for the nightlife you are looking for.

Puerto del Carmen
If you are looking for the busiest nightlife on the island then Puerto del Carmen is the place to go. There is a good choice of live music and disco bars which are mainly spread around the area known as Centro Atlantico on the Avenida de las Playas which the main strip, located close to the harbour in the Old Town.
The well-known tour operator club 18-30 has just arrived in Puerto del Carmen, which will surely ensure that the area continues to be regarded as the liveliest spot on the island.
Playa Blanca
Near to Playa Dorada in the Playa Blanca area, you will find Centro Comercial Papagayo and also the Centro Comercial Punto Limones which are probably the liveliest places in the area but if you are looking to join the post-restaurant crowd for a more sophisticated atmosphere and a cocktail, then the Marina Rubicon is the place to be.

Costa Teguise
The majority of clubs and bars are situated on the Avenida de Jabillo and if you are looking for a lively Irish bar or want to find a good restaurant to eat at then Pueblo Marinero is the most popular destination to satisfy your wishes.
These are some of the most vibrant and lively areas on the island of Lanzarote but if you are looking for something that is a bit off the usual tourist path then you might want to consider visiting places such as Arrecife, Calle Jose Antonio or perhaps the Playa del Reducto.
Wherever you decide to stay in Lanzarote, you should be able to find a good choice of places where you can party the night away if you want to.
