Summer Villa Breaks On Lanzarote
There´s no better time than spring to enjoy a holiday in Lanzarote as this popular holiday island is covered in wild flowers at that time of the year, There are many reasons why you should select Lanzarote as your summer holiday destination this year. As this small Spanish owned island in the Canaries offers amazing beaches as well as reliable weather. With little or no rainfall during the summer months. Something that could never be said for summertime in the UK.
As a result of this great climate Lanzarote has been a hot destination for tourists from countries such as Germany and the UK for decades. Accommodation choices on the island are superb with everything from Lanzarote holiday villas to bed and breakfast rooms as well as enough attractions to keep you busy everyday of your visit.
Lanzarote is arguably best known for its weird and wild volcanic scenery, which was created by eruptions during the 18th century. However, the islands volcanic past is not a concern these days so many visitors make a bee-line to the Timanfaya Park so they can witness first hand the aftermath of natures tremendous power.
Like many other holiday islands Lanzarote´s main appeal probably lies in its beaches. And there are some truly spectacular stretches of sand to discover here. Such as the bays and coves of Papagayo which is regarded as one of the finest beaches in the Canaries, if not Spain. Papagayo is located very close to the popular resort of Playa Blanca in the south of the island.
Tourists can reach these perfect playas either on foot from the centre of town or they can visit by car – paying a small admission fee for the upkeep and maintenance of the facilities and amenities here.
Playa Blanca is the second most popular resort on Lanzarote, as well as the newest. As it was developed during the 1990´s. This is the spot where many independent tourists choose to take their holidays as there is a good selection of villas and apartments available for rent here. Prices tend to start at about €400 per week. Move along the coastline towards Puerto del Carmen and you an expect t o pay more. As here you will find a good selection of upmarket villas in Lanzarote Most of which can be found in the residential area of Los Mojones, right in the centre of the resort.
Whilst Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca tend to dominate the tourist market there is another resort which attracts tourists looking for a quieter holiday. Costa Teguise tends to appeal to older holidaymakers and young families. As there isn’t as much nightlife in evidence here as in the other two main resorts. There are however plenty of excellent beaches such as Playa Bastian and Playa Cucharas for visitors to enjoy.
