Enjoy Hot Holidays In Playa Blanca

Which is the hottest holiday destination on Lanzarote?  There’s plenty of competition – as this cool Canary Island boasts luxury marinas, three main resorts and a cosmopolitan capital, Arrecife.  Which boasts its very own city centre beach. However this title has to go to Playa Blanca – the fastest growing town on the island located right at the southern tip of Lanzarote.

This fortuitous location ensures that Playa Blanca enjoys the best microclimate.  With more sunshine hours and less cloud and rainfall than any other part of Lanzarote.  Providing the ideal preconditions for a burgeoning holiday resort.  These factors also assume greater importance during the winter months.  When the north of the island can be covered in cloud whilst the south basks happily in the sun.

Playa Blanca first started to evolve from its former life as a fishing village during the late 1980´s.  As hotel chains and property developers seized on its natural beauty and great weather to create Lanzarote´s third major holiday destination.

Today Playa Blanca welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. The majority of whom enjoy a stay in one of the many good quality hotels located within the resort.

Such as the five star Gran Melia Volcan, which is located right next to the relatively new Marina Rubicon.  Which provides mooring for luxury yachts and which creates an atmospheric backdrop.  Along with numerous good value four star options such as the Timanfaya Palace and the Princesa Yaiza.  Which are both located on the seafront promenade that unites the resort.  Playa Blanca is also home to one of the largest selections of holiday villas in Lanzarote.  Most of which enjoy an elevated position and commanding sea views.

Key to Playa Blanca’s success as a holiday destination is the fact that the resort boasts some of the best beaches in the Canary Islands.  The best known is the breathtaking set of bays at Papagayo.  Which is around a fifteen minute walk from the resort centre but well worth the effort.  As the sands here are all natural and unspoiled.

The resort itself is also well served – boasting great beaches at Playa Flamingo, Playa Dorada and Playa Blanca.  The small town centre beach from which the resort takes its name.

Playa Blanca has also long been the gateway to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura.  With ferries criss crossing between the two islands throughout the day.  Whilst come nightfall the lights twinkle attractively across the water.
