villas to rent lanzarote

Playa Blanca is located at the southern-most tip of Lanzarote and is fast becoming one of the island’s finest tourist areas. Almost always basked in warm sunshine and with the sea a constant calm, clear blue, Playa Blanca is a holiday maker’s paradise. There are superb views of the mountains and the islands of Lobos and Fuerteventura across the water. It is also home to the Canary Islands best beaches at Papagayo. If it’s lazy days in the sun you are looking for, this is the ideal place.

Over the past few years Playa Blanca, originally a small fishing village has been transformed into one of the islands main tourist areas. Thankfully, been subject to strict planning regulations, it has kept it’s small village feel and has been protected from huge tall buildings and mass, uncontrolled development as seen in other Spanish resorts.

Quieter than the other main resorts, Playa Blanca is fantastic for couples and families who want to spend the day around the pool or at the beach and their nights enjoying fine food at one of many international restaurants.

You will find friendly, welcoming people, a great choice of shops and restaurants as well as a pleasant laid back atmosphere in wonderful surroundings.

Just opposite the entrance to Casas Del Sol is the harbour and the 7km (4 miles) long pedestrian walkway which leads to the Pechiguera lighthouse one way and to the other the new upmarket Marina Rubicorn which is a must see with its array of boats, chic boutiques and restaurants.

The little harbour at Playa Blanca not only acts a host to visiting yachtsmen and the local fishermen but is also the main terminal for the frequent daily car ferry service to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura.

To the right of the harbour is the Punta Limones centre where you will find banks, car hire, electric bike hire, fishing hire, hairdressers, gift shops etc as well as a Spar supermarket. This is also an entertainment centre with an array of bars, restaurants and nightclubs.

To the left of the harbour is the centre of Playa Blanca. Here you will find everything you need with lots of shops, businesses and restaurants. It is mainly pedestrianised and has a great atmosphere at anytime during the day.
