How Does Adapted Holiday Works?

Everyone knows what to expect from a classic holiday package—but these don’t always work for people with diverse accessibility needs. So, what does a completely tailored holiday look like?


Of course, this will be different for everyone, but here’s an example of what your trip might look like:

Before You Arrive

  • You get in touch with us.
  • We plan your trip together, discussing your abilities and accessibility requirements to ensure a perfect fit.
  • You book your accessible flights (optionally with Paula’s assistance—see above).

 Day 1: Arrival

  • Travel to Lanzarote (optional airport accessibility service available, plus a flight companion for UK departures)
  • Our team welcomes you at Lanzarote Airport in Arrecife with a wheelchair-accessible vehicle and any equipment you may have pre-booked. If you don’t want to bring your own power wheelchair, you can hire one for your entire stay
  • We take you to your adapted accommodation and ensure you have everything you need. You’ll also have our contact number for any assistance
  • Depending on your arrival time, you may have the chance to explore Puerto del Carmen and enjoy a sunset dinner

Day 2: Beach Day

  • Most of our adapted accommodations are in or around Puerto del Carmen, a flat area with one of Lanzarote’s best microclimates, featuring accessible beaches, plenty of shops, restaurants, and pharmacies
  • Visit Los Pocillos, the most stunning fully accessible beach on the island

Accommodation & Location

We have carefully selected Puerto del Carmen as our primary location due to its flat terrain, accessible infrastructure, and proximity to Los Pocillos Beach.


Your accommodation will be tailored to your needs, whether that means:

  • Roll-in showers
  • Step-free access for visually impaired guests
  • Family-friendly apartments
  • Pool lifts and accessible pool areas


Choose between self-catering apartments or hotels with half-board or full-board options.

Finally, we put in place a process to assess the requirements of each holidaymaker before they book with us. This helps us to provide solutions that meet their needs and make their holiday an unforgettable experience.


Today, LanzAbility is the only dedicated adapted holiday provider in Lanzarote that caters for people with disabilities, creating unique memories for solo travellers, couples and families on this beautiful subtropical island.
