Lanzarote offers a wide variety of accommodation: from villas to private flats, from hotels to bed & breakfasts. Regardless of whether you are planning an active holiday or a family holiday, you will be able to find the perfect accommodation for your needs.
Compared to the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote has retained a more authentic ambience and is a quiet island, suitable for relaxing holidays in search of privacy. Let’s therefore take a look at the best areas to sleep in Lanzarote, and the best establishments for each of them.
Arrecife is the capital of Lanzarote, a small town with a pleasant Mediterranean-style promenade, an inviting sandy beach and a succession of palm-fringed boulevards lined with elegant boutiques, bars and restaurants.
There are not many attractions, but those that do are of great interest. Choose Arrecife if you want a location that allows you to get around Lanzarote with ease. By renting a car, you will be able to get closer to other points of interest. The town, with its harbour, is also an excellent base for boat trips to the other Canary Islands, as well as excursions to the high seas to observe marine fauna.
Hidden in a maze of small passages is the market of La Recova, where fresh produce and second-hand goods can be found, as well as many handicraft shops.
Arrecife’s beach is a wonderful place to perfect your tan with its golden sand, lined with bars that are ideal for relaxing with a coffee or cocktail at any time of day.
In the evenings, Arrecife is definitely not the centre of entertainment on the island; apart from the seafront, where there are a few clubs, there are not many other alternatives to spend the evening. It remains a town for families and mature couples, who also want to be a little further away from the popular villages on the south coast.
This little gem retains its roots as a fishing village and is perfect for quiet family holidays, with easy access to day trips to Fuerteventura; the ferry takes only 30 minutes to reach it.
It is an ideal choice for those who want to enjoy a relaxing holiday by the sea, while in the evenings it is easy to spend time in a bar or restaurant, chatting happily with other tourists.
Playa Blanca is an excellent base for embarking on catamaran trips or discovering the islet of Lobos. For walkers, it is the perfect place to take a walk along the sea, either to the west or east to Papagayo beach. From here you can also easily trek to the Yaiza region and the Timanfaya park.
There are inviting restaurants for candlelit dinners and evenings in bars where you can enjoy a refreshing drink. For those who enjoy nightlife, Playa Blanca is quieter than Puerto del Carmen, but there are still lively places to dance until dawn.
Puerto del Carmen is the oldest resort on Lanzarote. What began as a small fishing village has developed into one of the most popular resorts with tourists, and is a good choice for family holidays and for couples, but also for those looking for a good nightlife.
There are no less than three beaches in Puerto del Carmen: Playa Grande, Playa de los Pocillos and at the eastern end Playa de Matagorda, less crowded than the first two. Diving excursions are not a problem, as there are numerous centres that organise diving.
Running, cycling and diving are all popular pastimes, while the nightlife is undoubtedly the best in all of Lanzarote and the Centro Atlantico is the place not to be missed. There are enough pubs, discos and bars to satisfy nightlife lovers.
For more than a decade, Biosfera Plaza has been the commercial centre of Puerto del Carmen: there are more than fifty shops, several restaurants, a golf course and a children’s play centre. There is also a large supermarket, where one can stock up on essentials for those who choose to stay in a flat or villa.
On the seafront in Puerto del Carmen, there is no shortage of restaurants, hotels and shops. Moreover, the area’s exposure to the winds also allows for the practice of many water sports, such as kitesurfing, surfing and windsurfing.
Lanzarote’s quiet villages away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal resorts have managed to remain intact. Those worth visiting are mainly those in the north, surrounded by volcanic scenery that will surprise you, starting with the colours of the earth.
Choose to stay inland if you are looking for an alternative holiday, where you can divide your days between the sea and the mountains. They are also great bases for cycling and mountain-biking, as these areas lend themselves perfectly to being explored on two wheels.
Today, some of the larger houses have been converted into charming little country hotels or casas rurales, elegantly furnished with antiques and equipped with all the comforts of a modern hotel.
