ABOUT THE ISLAND:
Playa Blanca:
Over the past few years Playa Blanca, originally a small fishing village has been
transformed into one of the island‟s finest tourist areas.
Playa Blanca, at the southern-most tip of Lanzarote, is almost always basked in
warm sunshine and with the sea a constant calm, clear blue, Playa Blanca is a
holidaymaker's paradise. There are superb views of the mountains and the
islands of Lobos and Fuerteventura across the water. If it's lazy days in the sun
you are looking for, this is the ideal place.
Playa Blanca's beaches are small but delightful and benefit from excellent
nearby amenities such as the shops, bars and restaurants. Luxurious hotels and
villas offer visitors first-class, modern accommodation for their holiday.
Quieter than the other resorts, Playa Blanca is fantastic for families who want to
spend the day around their pool or at the beach and their nights enjoying fine
food at one of many international restaurants. The villa is equipped with
Satellite TV – Sky Freeview including ITV, DVD, Video, Hi-Fi etc but if you
fancy a night out, most hotels offer in-house entertainment for non-resident
families, so there is no shortage of fun.
From the harbour at Playa Blanca, ferries cross several times a day to
Fuerteventura. It is possible to go to the island as a foot passenger or with a car
and the 45-minute crossing is good fun in itself as you can sit on the open-air
terrace and enjoy the ocean views.
One of the most beautiful beaches on the island (and some people say in all of
Spain) is in close proximity to Playa Blanca. Papagayo beach is a must-see place
for anyone staying in Playa Blanca, consisting of several small coves and
accessible by car via a dirt track after paying the admittance fee of €3 per car.
Faro Park:
Faro Park is a residential area rather than a holiday resort and many of the
residents are our friends so we ask that you please give the other inhabitants
due consideration.
Climate:
Lanzarote enjoys a year-round near perfect climate, not getting too hot in
summer or too cool in winter. You should beware of the power of the sun‟s
rays, which can be masked by the breeze that is often present on the Island.
Please make sure you use adequate sun protection to get the best enjoyment
from your holiday – don‟t forget your sun-tan lotions !! A heater is provided
