Playa de los Pocillos Holidays - Like a twin conjoined to it's sister Matagorda, the little resort of Playa de los Pocillos was "born" due to an overspill from the main resort of Puerto del Carmen.
Situated only about 3 klms from Puerto, Playa de los Pocillos Lanzarote is a tranquil and relaxed place by day with a marvellous sandy beach edged by a wonderful promenade. Pocillos and Matagorda are connected by this promenade and both benefit from a quieter pace than Puerto del Carmen, yet with the good fortune to be in such close proximity if feet get restless.
There are three commercial centres which form the hub of the resort's amenities, Los Pocillos, Jameos Playa and Costa Mar. In general, the area is home to some of the island's upmarket hotels and Playa de los Pocillos hotels are reputable and well established. The resort is also a delightful option for beach babies. Located pretty close to the airport, a degree of aircraft noise may be experienced, but it is not usually obtrusive.
Straddling both worlds, Playa de los Pocillos is laid back and informal by day and, following a therapeutic stroll along the seafront promenade, the livelier lights of Puerto del Carmen twinkle, so holidays in Lanzarote can be whatever you want them to be. The choice of some other resorts like Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise are ideal if a mini day trip is in order and it's a great way to explore and discover the island.
