Hotels and Villas in Lanzarote
The small Canary Island of Lanzarote has been welcoming tourists for over forty years. And as a result offers a whole raft of high quality holiday accommodation options. Encompassing everything from small studio apartments through to top end luxury villas and luxurious five star hotels. In locations across the island.
Lanzarote holiday villas as with the rest of the Canary Islands can be found to suit all budgetary requirements which makes the Canaries a very popular destination.
The best and biggest selection of apartments in Lanzarote can be found in the island’s oldest resort of Puerto del Carmen. Which was the spot where tourism first took off on Lanzarote back in the late 1960´s. Springing up around the Old Town harbour area and expanding rapidly. To the point where today the resort now stretches some 8km from the big beach at Los Pocillos through to the upmarket residential enclave of Los Mojones.
The bulk of the best apartment accommodation can today be found in the New Town area – which essentially runs parallel with the main beachfront strip - the Avenida de las Playas. Whilst the Old Town has become more of a residential zone.
Despite it´s popularity Puerto del Carmen is serviced by only two main Lanzarote hotels. The San Antonio and the Los Fariones. With the bulk of this type of accommodation located in the southern resort of Playa Blanca. Which boasts a strip of new four and five star establishments along the seafront – all offering very reasonable room rates.
Playa Blanca makes for an ideal holiday destination – especially during the winter months. As the resort enjoys the best weather and climate on Lanzarote. Thanks to its location at the southern tip of the island just across the Bocaina Straits from the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. Playa Blanca is also a relatively young resort – having only evolved over the last ten years. Which means that most amenities are still virtually brand new.
Playa Blanca also boasts the best selection of Lanzarote villas available for holiday rental. With some of the most attractive properties located in and around the Rubicon Marina development. Which is emerging as a serious rival to the islands other luxury marina at Puerto Calero back up the south east coastline towards Puerto del Carmen.
As well as good quality accommodation Lanzarote also boasts a host of
interesting tourist attractions. Such as the Timanafaya Volcano Park, the green lagoon at El Golfo, The Valley of 1000 Palms and the Cactus Garden. Fortunately the island is small, which makes sightseeing very manageable. And car hire in Lanzarote is also relatively cheap – making touring the island affordable too.
