So where can you find some of the best holiday resorts renowned for a wide selection of self catering Lanzarote apartments and villas.
Puerto del Carmen
Puerto del Carmen started life as La Tiñosa before becoming Lanzarote´s most popular holiday destination during the 1970´s. Thanks to an abundance of good value holiday apartment complexes… Accommodation choices have evolved along with the resort and visitors can now select from a wide range of hotels and holiday villas too.
Puerto del Carmen is an ideal location for all types of holiday makers. As the resort is perfect for families with young children. Thanks to the fine quality of the resort’s blue flag beaches. Whilst also offering lots of child friendly attractions such as the Rancho Texas Theme Park – which offers kids an abundance of Wild West themed fun and games.
Situated just fifteen minutes north of Lanzarote´s international airport at Arrecife Costa Teguise was initially designed as the island’s upmarket resort. And during the 1980´s it proved very successful at attracting moneyed visitors from countries such as Germany, Sweden and Denmark.
Costa Teguise´s excellent beaches and wide open plan feel helped to establish this as the second most popular spot on the island during the 1980´s. But that crown slipped somewhat during the 1990´s as the resort rival of Playa Blanca was developed at the southern end of the island. However it still remains an attractive destination and there’s plenty of hotels and holiday villas in Costa Teguise for visitors to choose from.
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.
