Lagomar
No man is an island, but Lanzarote is an island that owes a lot to one man. The legacy of artist and architect Cesar Manrique is everywhere. On this land and sea tour, you'll visit LagOmar, the Cactus Garden – one of Manrique's emblematic creations – and the small volcanic island of La Graciosa.Manrique's buildings and sculptures dot the island, and it's thanks to him that there are no high-rises. LagOmar, once owned by Omar Sharif, is a complex designed to evoke the Arabian Nights tales, though it also has the air of a Bond villain lair. It also features a cave-bar, a restaurant, apartments and a museum.Next, you'll visit the Cactus Garden, where Manrique landscaped more than 7,000 cactuses of all shapes and sizes. Then, hop on a boat and sail to La Graciosa, a volcanic island surrounded by Europe's largest marine reserve. Afterwards, you'll enjoy lunch and some free time on its virgin beaches.

Cesar Manrique’s Lanzarote tour with cactus garden and LagOmar
With its vine-laden lava fields, exuberant architecture and otherworldly landscapes, Lanzarote looks and feels like something from a sci-fi movie set. This exclusive half-day tour takes in the Cesar Manrique Foundation and his Cactus Garden, followed by a visit to LagOmar. Rosa, one of our expert local guides, says, "Manrique convinced his fellow islanders to invest in tourism without overdevelopment, making sure any human impact is in harmony with our volcanic landscapes."Manrique was admired by many in his lifetime, and his influence on Lanzarote's culture lives on. He was a versatile artist producing paintings, sculptures and architectural works, bringing sustainability to the forefront of his creations, long before it became a buzzword. You'll first tour his Jardín de Cactus, where 1,100 species of sculptural succulents are grown. You can see instantly how Manrique's skill and vision enhanced the barren landscape. Similarly, the Fundacion Cesar Manrique demonstrates that harmony between the built environment and nature can succeed. A visit to the artist's home-studio, built into a lava field, is ample proof. Your final stop of the tour will be at LagOmar, a stunning spot that seamlessly combines nature and art. This unique place is set in a volcanic quarry and includes features like a cave-bar, restaurant, and a museum. Local legend has it that Hollywood icon Omar Sharif briefly owned it, only to lose it in a game of cards.

The inside story
Hidden within Lanzarote’s volcanic landscape, Lagomar is one of the island’s most intriguing architectural landmarks. Built into a former quarry of volcanic rock, this labyrinth of caves, tunnels, terraces and gardens feels as though it has been carved directly from the landscape itself. Often linked to a famous local legend involving actor Omar Sharif, Lagomar combines striking design with the island’s dramatic natural surroundings.
As you explore, you can wander through hidden passageways, discover cave rooms tucked into the rock face and enjoy views from terraces overlooking palms, pools and volcanic cliffs. The property also houses a museum and restaurant, offering a closer look at the vision behind its unique design. According to local legend, Omar Sharif bought the house after filming on Lanzarote, only to lose it in a card game the very next day.
