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.
Canary Islands holiday accommodation is very reasonable and in particular the choice of Lanzarote hotels suits most travellers budgets.
Puerto del Carmen is the best spot for anyone searching for holiday apartments in Lanzarote. As the resort boasts the highest concentration of complexes of any destination on the island. With the bulk concentrated in the New Town area. Which is clustered around the main beachfront thoroughfare – the Avdenida de las Playas. Which runs for some 6km right through the heart of the resort and parallel with the main beach – Playa Grande.
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.
One of the many plus points for visitors to Lanzarote is that the island is manageably small. Measuring around 58km by 34km. So whatever resort is selected sightseeing is easy and manageable. And car hire in Lanzarote is much cheaper than in many other holiday locations. With prices starting from as a little as €17 per day. Whilst petrol currently costs around €0.80 a litre.
Making the most of your trip to the island is very easy given the great value of car hire in Lanzarote, and a quick visit to the Lanzarote Guide book website will show you a whole host of other places to visit.
