Great beaches, surreal volcanic scenery, unique visitor attractions. The small Canary Island of Lanzarote boasts all the right ingredients for a holiday in the sun. And thanks to it's year round climate and close proximity to the UK it can be enjoyed all year round. Offering good value holidays during both the winter and summer seasons.
Spanish conquistadores first seized the island during the 1400´s before going on to subdue the rest of the Canaries, and Lanzarote then evolved to become a staging post between the New World and the Old as Spanish galleons ferried Inca Silver and slaves from Africa across the Atlantic. Today the majority of visitors are from the UK, Eire and Germany. The bulk of whom arrive by air - with a further 250,000 tourists visiting the island as part of a cruise.
Most visitors will find themselves staying in one of the three main resorts on the island; Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen or Playa Blanca. All of which are well contained and offer plenty of modern amenities and facilities. Along with high standards of accommodation. Such as a large selection of Lanzarote villas, apartments and hotels.
Costa Teguise is located in the north of the island - just a short fifteen minute transfer from Arrecife airport. The resort was first developed during the 1970´s as an upmarket coastal resort - initially proving very popular with German and Scandinavian tourists. Costa Teguise is set out on wide open boulevards - creating a spacious feel. But as a man-made resort it lacks a natural organic heart. A role which is only in part played today by the Pueblo Marinero. Costa Teguise does however boast a great selection of beaches, as well as some excellent accommodation options.
Drive south around twenty minutes along the coastline and visitors will find the oldest resort on the island - Puerto del Carmen. Tourism first took off here in the 1970´s and is still going strong today. Thanks to the fact that Puerto del Carmen boasts a great selection of beaches - such as the aptly named Playa Grande. As well as a large range of apartment complexes offering good value breaks. The resort has recently undergone renovation - making it an ideal time to enjoy a holiday in Puerto del Carmen.
A further thirty minute drive to the south brings visitors to Playa Blanca. Which is the newest resort on Lanzarote - first developed during the 1990´s and still evolving rapidly.
Playa Blanca has long been the gateway to the island of Fuerteventura and enjoys some of the best weather on the island due to its southern location. The resort is also especially popular with tourists who like to book their own holidays online. Offering plenty of self catering options and some of the most luxurious villas in Lanzarote even the most discerning travellers are well catered for.
