Posted in Destination on August 6th, 2010
Despite the fact that the Canary Island of Lanzarote is located four hours flight from the UK it still offers better value travel and accommodation deals than many other destinations much closer to home. Along with far better weather all year round.
Lanzarote is one of seven Canary Islands which all enjoy a semi tropical climate thanks to their close proximity to the West African coast. They are all owned by Spain and have become very popular with holidaymakers, especially from the UK. With Lanzarote the third most visited of the islands after Tenerife and Gran Canaria.
Many visitors to the island arrive on flights to Lanzarote from the UK, with returns available from as little as €100. Germany and Eire also send a large quantity of tourists to Lanzarote every year. And most of these visitors find accommodation in one of the islands three tourist resorts. Which is where the largest array of Lanzarote Holiday Villas , apartments and hotels are located.
Much of this accommodation will have been booked direct online via the internet. Which has become a growing source of bookings for the owners of holiday property on the island. A dramatic sea change over the last decade – with travel agents now rendered largely useless.
Apartment holidays offer the cheapest deals for those on a budget. There are hundreds of good value complexes in the largest resort of Puerto del Carmen. Many of which offer a weeks stay from as little as €180. Which is the price per room and not per person. Playa Blanca Villas also offer good value for money as they are cheaper to rent than comparable properties in Puerto del Carmen. And all boast plenty of luxury extras such as private pools and Jacuzzis.
Playa Blanca is located in the south of the island and is growing rapidly as a resort, having evolved from its former incarnations as a little fishing village during the 1990´s. And now boasts a luxury marina as well as a delightful seafront promenade.
The north of the island is much less developed than the south and this is the region visitors should head for if they want to connect with the more authentic face of Lanzarote. It´s also much greener, especially in and around the Valley of 1000 Palms. Where locals continue to follow a tradition of planting a palm for every new born baby in the village.
