Lanzarote Playa Blanca

Playa Blanca - In the south of Lanzarote (just over 30 km from Arrecife, the island's capital), is a pretty resort and, as the name suggests, it has beautiful white sand beaches. The best is probably Papagayo which has sand like a drift of icing sugar. Playa Blanca is an upmarket, sophisticated resort ideal for those looking for a holiday of relaxation. It’s quieter than areas such as Puerto del Carmen which is much livelier.

Many ferries travel from Playa Blanca to the nearby island of Fuerteventura and local fishermen sometimes rent their boats for fishing trips, so enjoy two islands in one holiday! Playa Blanca resort is well known to windsurfers as the area enjoys gentle breezes and many other water sports are also popular here. Playa Blanca has a marvellous selection of local and international restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. The boardwalk is lined with cafes and restaurants. Highly recommended for an evening dedicated to sampling "tapas" in some of the resort's hostelries - no better way to become acquainted with local customs and traditions.

The port is another recreational area and a modern shopping centre has been recently constructed there. There is also an 18 hole golf course just a couple of km from the resort. All in all, Playa Blanca resort is a lovely choice for relaxation in a laid back, informal and friendly ambience with emphasis simply on enjoyment. Direct flights to Arrecife from Ireland ensures the accessibility of the resort and we have a great selection of hotels in Lanzarote.
