The popular holiday island of Lanzarote in the Canaries is home to three main resorts. As well as the emerging marina of Puerto Calero – where visitors will find two upmarket hotels and an abundance of expensive yachts and craft from around the world.
Each of these destinations offers something different – boasting their own unique character and identity. Whilst also offering a wide range of accommodation options encompassing everything from Lanzarote villas through to budget studio apartments.
So here is a sneak peak of some of the favourite resort desinations offering a wide choice of Lanzarote apartments and villas.
Puerto del Carmen
Formerly known as La Tiñosa Puerto del Carmen emerged to become Lanzarote´s leading resort during the package holiday boom years of the 1970´s. And is still the most popular destination on the island today.The resort boasts a large number of apartment complexes – reflecting its position as the best spot for a booking a budget holiday. But there are also plenty of decent hotels and villas in Puerto del Carmen for rent too.
The island government has recently spent over €16 million sprucing up Carmen’s image in order to maintain its competiveness against newer destinations around the world. So there’s never been a better time to visit.
Costa Teguise is located north of the sole international airport at Arrecfie. Some 15 minutes transfer time away. And was developed as an upmarket resort during the 1980´s – attracting well heeled tourists from Germany and Scandinavia initially.
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
Playa Blanca was the last of the main resorts on the island to be developed during the 1990´s. And has quickly emerged to become the second most popular destination on the island – thanks to a winning combination of great beaches and fantastic weather. As well as a fine range 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.
