Despite volcanic ash clouds and the ongoing weakness of the pound against the euro demand for self catering holidays on the popular island of Lanzarote shows little sing of abating this summer. As this cool Canary Island offers a hot range of villas and apartments at prices that are usually much cheaper than in other Spanish sunspots.
Lanzarote is a year round holiday destination, thanks to the fact that the island is located off the coast of Africa. And as a result prices here aren’t hiked up during the summer months as is the case in the Balearics and along the Costas. So ensuring that Lanzarote villas and apartments represent great value for money for anyone seeking to swap the uncertainty of the British summer for sure-fire sunshine and temperatures in the high 20´s.
British holidaymakers have been flocking to the fourth largest Canary Island ever since package holidays first took off here in the 1970s. And today many arrivals from the UK choose to book their own accommodation direct online with the owners. So cutting tour operators and travel companies out of the equation altogether. Attracted by great weather, high standards of accommodation and a plethora of wonderful beaches.
Villas in Playa Blanca are perennially popular, as this fast growing resort located at the southern end of the island enjoys some of the best weather – whilst also boasting an incredible array of beaches. Most notably the all natural set of coves at Papagayo, which are located just fifteen minutes walk from the resort centre.
Puerto del Carmen remains the engine room of the island’s tourist industry though and there are loads of good value options here for anyone looking for a place to stay. The resort is home to a large number of apartment complexes offering studio accommodation from as little as €180 per week. Whilst there are many excellent villas in Puerto del Carmen for tourists to choose from too. Particularly in and around the Los Mojones and Risco Prieto areas.
Wherever visitors choose to stay they will find that this fascnating island offers much more than just sunshine and beaches alone. There are seven centres of culture and tourism to visit, all created by the ubiquitous artist César Manrique, who was born in the island capital of Arrecife in 1919. As well as a host of anural wonders such as the Timanfaya Volcano Park, the Valley of 1000 Palms and the green lagoon at El Golfo.
