Why go?
With views of Fuerteventura and the island of Lobo, Playa Blanca occupies a prime position on Lanzarote's south coast. Once a small fishing village but now a thriving resort, this is a great choice if you really want to get away from it all. Couples and families flock to Playa Blanca to sunbathe on its sandy Blue Flag beach, swim in its warm waters and enjoy the luxurious marina, with its sleek yachts, water sports, boat trips and stylish shops. Holidays in Playa Blanca serve up chilled out days and laidback nights, with a beachfront promenade lined with bars and tasty seafood restaurants serving the catch of the day.
Things to do
When it comes to excursions, holidays in Playa Blanca leave you spoilt for choice. Pack a picnic and head to the beautiful Papagayo beaches or take a boat trip to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. Explore the natural beauty of Lanzarote's Timanfaya National Park, with its dramatic volcanic scenery, or take a trip to Arrecife, the island's capital, 20 miles from Playa Blanca. Just outside Playa Blanca, the stylish Marina Rubicon has plenty of places to eat, shop, unwind and get active. Here you can enjoy a game of tennis, wander round an art gallery, take a trip on a catamaran and much more. For an extra big night out, jump in a taxi to the neighbouring resorts of Puerto del Carmen or Costa Teguise.
