More and more holiday makers from across the UK, Ireland, Germany, Spain and elsewhere are discovering the dramatic yet serene beauty that forms a backdrop to the main holiday resorts on Lanzarote. It is now the Canary Island’s second most popular island after Tenerife, which to be fair is also a lot bigger as an island.

Most people will choose to stay in villas in Lanzarote, with villas in Playa Blanca particularly popular. This also applies to Costa Teguise, which also has a good range of all inclusive hotels, and is also renowned for water sports. Costa Teguise is located very near to the capital, Arrecife, and the airport.

Apartments in Lanzarote are also a very popular type of accommodation, and there are many in Puerto del Carmen, also quite near to the airport. Puerto del Carmen is well known for its ’strip’, the Avenida de las Playas, which at 6 kilometres long, hosts many of the bars, restaurants and night clubs in the town. Here you can party until 6 am. Despite this, Puerto del Carmen is also very popular with families and older people as well. Many have been holidaying here for over 20 years.

There are many attractions and places to visit all over Lanzarote, and all can be easily reached from your Lanzarote villa or apartment. The most famous is the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya, where the heat of the still-active (but dormant!) volcano is used to cook at the Restaurant that is at the heart of the visitor centre. You can take an escorted coach ride around the park, and enjoy a fascinating narration about the last eruption of the volcano in the 17th century.

However, for many people it will be the beaches that attract them to Lanzarote. They are truly spectacular, especially around Papagayo and Playa Blanca in the South, and at Caleta de Famara, in the wider North west of the island. The main resort beaches at Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca are very safe for bathing.
