Lanzarote in the Canary Islands is home to three main holiday resorts. Along with the Millionaire’s Marina of Puerto Calero. Which boasts two upmarket hotels and a host of expensive yachts and craft as well as plenty of good quality restaurants.
Each resort has its own history, character, attractions and plus points. With all of them offering high standards of accommodation and boasting an excellent selection of Lanzarote villas and hotels.
So where can you find a selection of resorts renowned for a wide selection of Lanzarote apartments.
Puerto del Carmen
Before the arrival of tourism Puerto del Carmen was known to locals as La Tiñosa. A sleepy little fishing village on Lanzarote´s south east coastline.Package holidays changed all that though and now the resort extends for some 8km away from its original hub in the Old Town harbour area.Today, it is Lanzarote´s most popular destination by some distance – offering good value apartment accommodation. As well as a number of four star hotels and high quality villas.
Puerto del Carmen is an ideal location for all types of holiday makers. As the resort is perfect for families with young children. Thanks to the fine quality of the resort’s blue flag beaches. Whilst also offering lots of child friendly attractions such as the Rancho Texas Theme Park – which offers kids an abundance of Wild West themed fun and games.
Situated just fifteen minutes north of Lanzarote´s international airport at Arrecife Costa Teguise was initially designed as the island’s upmarket resort. And during the 1980´s it proved very successful at attracting moneyed visitors from countries such as Germany, Sweden and Denmark.
However its sheen has faded a little since then. Partly due to the development of Playa Blanca in the south of the island. Which has snatched the slot of number 2 destination away over recent years. However Costa Teguise remains an attractive holiday hot spot – boasting wide avenues and a spacious open plan feel. Whilst the resort is also home to some great beaches, such as the main stretch of sand at Playa Cucharas.
Playa Blanca
Last but not least Playa Blanca was developed during the 1990´s and offers a winning combination of great weather and fantastic beaches. Allied with an excellent selection of hotels and holiday villas.
There are three main beaches within the resort itself in the form of Playa Dorada, Playa Flamingo and Playa Blanca. Whilst the famously picturesque coves and bays of Papagayo are around a fifteen minute walk away from the town centre.
