Lanzarote is the most easterly of the seven Canary Islands and has been welcoming tourists from across Europe for over forty years. Consequently accommodation standards on the island are high – with options ranging from top end luxury villas through to small studio apartments.

Puerto del Carmen is the best spot for anyone searching for holiday apartments in Lanzarote. As the resort boasts the highest concentration of complexes of any destination on the island. With the bulk concentrated in the New Town area. Which is clustered around the main beachfront thoroughfare – the Avdenida de las Playas. Which runs for some 6km right through the heart of the resort and parallel with the main beach – Playa Grande.

Puerto del Carmen is Lanzarote?s oldest and most popular resort. And is currently undergoing a real transformation. As island authorities are investing millions of euros to improve facilities and amenities in order to ensure that Puerto del Carmen remains competitive for decades to come. As newer destinations such as Dubai and Egypt start to vie for the attention of British tourists.

With the highest concentration of these establishments to be found in the south of the island. In and around Lanzarote?s newest resort of Playa Blanca. Which is also the gateway to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura.

All of these have been built in the last ten years – so tourists are able to enjoy modern facilities and amenities at very affordable prices. With a nights stay starting at around €70 per room oper night in one of Lanzarte?s better four star hotels.

Playa Blanca also boasts the best selection of Lanzarote villas available for holiday rental. With some of the most attractive properties located in and around the Rubicon Marina development. Which is emerging as a serious rival to the islands other luxury marina at Puerto Calero back up the south east coastline towards Puerto del Carmen.

One of the many plus points for visitors to Lanzarote is that the island is manageably small. Measuring around 58km by 34km. So whatever resort is selected sightseeing is easy and manageable.
