Resorts on Lanzarote
The main holiday resorts on Lanzarote are Playa Blanca, Puerto del Carmen, Puerto Calero, Costa Teguise and the smaller sub-resorts beside Puerto del Carmen - Playa de los Pocillos and Matagorda. Beside those, there's a wide range of guest houses, hotels and villas available across the whole of Lanzarote.
We've focused on the main resort towns at the moment, to give you a run down of the facilities in each of them.
Lanzarote's largest holiday resort, Puerto Del Carmen has 6 km of golden sandy beach, backed by an equally long promenade with shops, restaurants, cafés and bars and nightclubs. Puerto del Carmen is also home to the island's gay bars.
Once a sleepy Canarian fishing village, Playa Honda is now a tranquil suburb of the capital of Lanzarote, Arrecife. It's also a rather good quality holiday destination for those who want to be away from the holiday resorts.
Situated to the north of Arrecife, Costa Teguise is a resort on Lanzarote where many hotels have direct access to the beaches of fine golden sand in the area. It is an excellent place to base yourself if you intend to explore the central and northern parts of Lanzarote.
Very close to Puerto Del Carmen, yet in a world of it's own, Puerto Calero is a fairly new resort, aiming to offer a more tranquil setting and a jet-set lifestyle experience.
