La Malvas is a solitary and natural beach located in one of the lava streams from Timanfaya. If you are looking for a unique beach, Las Malvas is truly unforgettable due to its black landscape and trade winds.
This small, black sandy beach is no longer than 300m. Located on the slopes of Timanfaya, it is mystic and will entice and charm all those who visit. Playa de Las Malvas faces north on to the Atlantic Ocean and is where the renowned trade winds that blow across Lanzarote come in.
The small bay known as Playa de Las Malvas is a black sandy beach which is the result of the erosion from various lava streams from Timanfaya. This makes it a unique place that is well worth a visit. It has to be one of the most mystical and special places on the island.
It is a windy beach as it is one of the main entry points for the island’s trade winds. However, you can always shelter from the wind in one of the volcanic rocky nooks. The combination of black sand, the remnants of volcanic lava, and lava streams make this beach an iconic spot with stunning surroundings. It is the perfect place for those looking to connect with nature without having to deal with the bustling beaches on the island’s central coast.
