Playa Blanca Holidays

Lanzarote remains one of the UK’s favourite holiday haunts in the Canary archipelago, one of the world’s favourite vacation spots. Just four hour’s flight to Arrecife Airport and you’re transported to an island paradise which boasts it all: great all-year-round weather, gorgeous beaches and lots to see and do! At the southernmost tip of Lanzarote’s tortoise-shaped island lies the beautiful beach of La Playa. What marks these light brown sands out from other resorts you’ll find on your Lanzarote holidays is the fact that it’s quite a recently developed resort, and has retained much of it’s former charm as a small fishing village.

Weather

Cheap Playa Blanca holidays are more or less a fixture for tourists the whole year round, thanks in no small part to Lanzarote’s constant temperature - constantly hot, that is! Hot it may be, averaging around 18° Celsius in December and 26° Celsius by the summer, but sultry breezes, courtesy of the trade winds, mean you’re never flustered. Having said that, ensure you have your sun cream on at all times to protect you from the rays.

Attractions

Close to home, you have one of the most fabulous new harbours in the Canaries, the upmarket Rubicon Marina, stacked with upmarket shops, as well as touristy fare. Travel inland for the island’s theme parks and water parks, including the voluminous Timanfaya National Park, and the volcanic caves of Los Verdes. Here at the south of the island, you’re well positioned to travel to Fuerteventura, the nearest of the Canaries, just fifteen minutes away by boat.

Nightlife

Playa Blanca holidays excel mainly as a family resort, and there’s none of the famed nightlife of Puerto del Carmen here, but there’s an eclectic mix of bars and restaurants on the marina. The food is varied of course: from Chinese and English to local fare, and the bars are predominantly chic, with a glut of English and Irish hostelries. The young aren’t without nightlife, though, with new nightclubs such as The Jungle, and generally late opening hours.

Landscape

Holidays to Playa Blanca mean beaches, of course! The resort itself may be new, but that doesn’t preclude a great day on the light-brown sands of the beach, with a ridge of seaside shops and restaurants behind, and the azure Atlantic stretching out before you. Playa Blanca is especially gorgeous at night, where, by the harbour or the promenade, you can marvel at the sunset before taking in the distant lights of Fuerteventura glistening in the horizon.

Culture

Come to Lanzarote in Carnival Season, February to March, for some Hispanic revelry with dances, local music and food festivals, or in mid-June for the Corpus Christi holy festival. By 'holy', Canarians mean music and partying, but there’s also some unique sights - carpets rolled out of sea salt, and giant processions through most of the island’s picturesque towns and villages.
