If you’re on holiday, the one-hour difference means less jet lag than crossing to the US or Asia. You’ll barely notice the shift—except for that glorious extra hour of sunset. It’s the perfect gateway to a more relaxed rhythm.
But if you’re working remotely from Lanzarote, the time zone is a lifesaver. You can log on for UK meetings at 9:00 AM Lanzarote time (which is 8:00 AM UK time) and still have the whole afternoon free. No 3:00 AM conference calls here.
The “Lost Hour” That Feels Like a Gain
Think about this: when you travel west from the UK, you lose an hour, right? But landing in Lanzarote, you gain an hour. Your watch says later, but your body feels earlier. It’s like a tiny time travel trick that makes your first day feel twice as long.
And that hour? Don’t waste it. Use it to watch the sunset over the Timanfaya volcano or to have a slow breakfast on a terrace. In Lanzarote, that hour is a gift.
