Lanzarote is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Spain. Every year over 2 million tourists touch down at Arrecife airport and many of these visitors are here to enjoy a break in a privately owned holiday rental property.
Lanzarote – The Best of Both Worlds
Lanzarote is a very small island – it only measures about 65km from end to end. So there are not really any remote rural areas, everywhere is easy to reach and close to hand. This makes it possible therefore to enjoy all the benfitis of living in a rural location whilst also enjoying almost immediate access to the facilities and amentities of larger conurabtions, such as the maiin resorts or the capital of Arrecife.
Buying a property in Playa Blanca
Playa Blanca is the the more recent of the established tourist resorts in Lanzarote. It ranks in popularity after Puerto del Carmen and before Costa Teguise. Nestled in Lanzarote’s southern tip this well spaced out family resort has grown rapidly in popularity.
Playa Blanca is around forty minute drive from the airport. Once you are there it has all the facilities you need. There is a good selection of beaches ranging from super safe family beaches of Playa Flamingo to the unspoiled white sand beaches of Papagayo.
Buying property in Puerto del Carmen
Puerto del Carmen is the tourism capital of Lanzarote. It is the most popular resort on Lanzarote by a good margin and for a good many reasons.
