Puerto del Carmen is the longest-established tourist resort on Lanzarote, situated only about 10 minutes’ drive from the airport. As with many destinations in the Canaries, Balearics, and mainland Spain, the start of its popularity amongst UK and Irish tourists dates back to the early’60’s. Prior to this, Puerto del Carmen was a small fishing village, a feel that is retained if you venture into the “Old Town” which still has much of this original charm.

The newer parts of Puerto del Carmen boast a multitude of bars, restaurants, villas, apartments and hotels for visitors to choose from. There is also a very active club and nightlife scene in Puerto del Carmen, centred on the Avenida de las Playas (also known as “the strip”) that starts from Fariones at one end, and extends some 6 kilometres to Matagorda at the other end. Most of the nightlife is at the Fariones end, but there is a good choice of restaurants and bars everywhere you go in Puerto del Carmen.

There are great attractions around Puerto del Carmen as well, including the relatively new marina at Puerto Calero – fast becoming a haven for well-heeled yachting enthusiasts. There is also a new golf course between Puerto del Carmen and Tias, water park at nearby Costa Teguise, and Rancho Texas, a wild west theme park. The other advantage of Puerto del Carmen is that it is quite central on the island, and you can reach other parts very easily.

For the best choice of holiday accommodation, it is probably best to review the many holiday villas that are available in Puerto del Carmen. There is also a wide choice of holiday apartments that will generally be cheaper than the villa options. Many of the villas in Puerto del Carmen come complete with luxury features such as private pools and hot tubs, as well as great sea and/or mountain views.

Puerto del Carmen apartments will tend to be very close to the centre of the action, whilst the villas in Puerto del Carmen may be a bit further from the seafront, and in slightly quieter neighbourhoods.
