Best Lanzarote area |
I often visit the Spanish islands (especially Gran Canaria where I have my holiday apartment) so I can help to planning a nice holiday in Canary islands.
Lanzarote is an island to discover and explore by car, bike or walking. The contact with nature is strong and is the ideal destination for those who want to disconnect from the city and live in the open-air. Good for recharge your batteries, see beautiful landscapes, sunbathing...

BEST AREA TO STAY IN LANZAROTE for you...
Is it Puerto del Carmen?
I went in February to Lanzarote and I stayed 3 nights in Puerto del Carmen.
PRO
- Prices of apartments for rental holidays are competitive,
- A long walk along the coast.
- Wide beach.
- A pretty old harbor area with many typical restaurants.
- Cheap Accommodation (South Island is more expensive)
- You need a starting point to visit the island (the position halfway between the North and South is ideal for getting around without changing accommodation.)
- Looking for nightlife: it is full of restaurants, pubs and shops. For "nightlife" I do not think to Ibiza style but something more soft . Although Lanzarote is not just the icon island of fun and nightlife, if you're young you should stay here.

Is it Costa Teguise?
If I went back to Lanza, I would stay here a couple of nights rather than in Puerto del Carmen as I did. The reasons are:
- Much more comfortable for some sightseeing in the norther part of Lanzarote.
- He gave me the feeling of being more chic than Puerto del Carmen.
Stay in Costa Teguise why:
- It is a convenient location for visiting the North Island attractions.
- It is a tourist center that, although less of Puerto del Carmen, it has shops and restaurants.
- Apartments in Lanzarote Costa Teguise.

Is it Playa Blanca?
I stayed in Playa Blanca during my last days in Lanzarote holiday after visiting, up and down, the many attractions of the Norther area. I went to the south in search of relax, sunbathing and have a swim.
Unfortunately the weather was not good.
Usually, the Souther area is slightly warmer and less windy than the rest of the island but, in my opinion, not enough to make sealife, at least in winter. For the winter season is better to go in Gran Canaria South West countries.
In Playa Blanca there are many families with children.
Choose the town of Playa Blanca if:
- Are you looking for a relaxing holiday.
- Want to visit Fuerteventura.
- Looking for a place with tourist shops and restaurants.
- Beach where you can swim.
- Traveling with your family and children.
Where to stay in Playa Blanca?
- Apartments in Lanzarote with parking and wifi included near the center and the beach.

Is it Arrecife?
Like any capital, Arrecife town is NOT only for tourists but also to those who live and work there.
Arrecife is pretty connected to the bus station with a comfortable walk along the ocean and a park. The Reducto beach is wide, perfect for sunbathing.
I visited Arrecife on several occasions always the weather was sunny but the last time I went, I was shocked: there was so much wind to create a tidal wave and the local police had to close the paseo (route overlooking the ocean) as the waves were high. A wind so strong to make it hard to breathe: I've never seen such a thing in my life.
Fortunately it was a sporadic episode. Arrecife is suitable for those on a budget: the prices here are lower than in the South. It is a good starting point to visit the north of the island and visit the museums of the city. The bus station connects all the major cities of Lanzarote.
