Stunning hidden gem in the Canary Islands with a secret pool inside a collapsed volcano

If you’re looking for a unique travel destination, this hidden corner of Lanzarote is a must for your travel list.


The Canary Islands are famous for lively resorts, especially in Tenerife and Gran Canaria, which draw lots of holidaymakers.


Locals in Lanzarote, however, have been feeling the effects of increased tourism, but if you’re planning a visit, this lesser-known spot might be just what you’re after!

This incredible site was designed by artist César Manrique within natural volcanic tunnels.


Stretching 6 km and partially under the sea, the tunnel now serves as a centre for art, culture, and tourism, featuring a lagoon home to rare crabs, an underground concert hall, and top-notch dining.


At Jameo Chico, guests can dine within the volcanic tubes themselves, enjoying a unique meal surrounded by rock formations.


Other must-see spots include the Tunnel of La Atlantida, the underwater part of the tunnel, and Jameo Grande, a tranquil area with a swimming pool nestled among rugged rocks.

In the stone auditorium, visitors can enjoy nature’s incredible acoustics, as this natural concert hall often hosts live music for unforgettable experiences.


Even when no performance is happening, visitors report hearing gentle wind whispers and echoes through the space.


The site also includes a museum area where visitors can explore the history of the tunnels and learn about the volcanic activity that created them.


One happy Tripadvisor reviewer said, “We loved the museum part where you can learn about volcanoes and Jameo. Spectacular—an absolute must-visit.”


Another thrilled visitor shared, “Visiting Los Jameos del Agua is like stepping into one of the most beautiful places in the world.”
