Escape the Winter With a Villa in Playa Blanca

Playa Blanca is a holidaymaker's paradise with its white sand beaches at Papagayo, stunning mountain views towards Femes, breathtaking sea views over towards Fuerteventura, and of course its varied and excellent nightlife and eateries.

With flights from the UK & Ireland around only 4 hours, you can leave the cold, the snow, and the ice behind, and head straight for some winter sun.

Playa Blanca is just a half an hour's drive from the Island's airport at Arrecife, and as it is flanked by mountains - it enjoys a slightly warmer climate than the more northern areas of the island. Temperatures in the winter months normally hover around 22 degrees celsius during the day, and with longer days, and later sunsets than you are used to at this time of year, you can soon be sat outside your holiday villa with steaks and seafood sizzling on your barbecue, and a well-deserved glass of something nice and cold to sip by your side.

More and more people are preferring to rent a holiday villa in Playa Blanca, as opposed to a hotel, because of the freedom and privacy it affords them. In a nutshell, it is affordable luxury, on YOUR terms. No more fighting for sun beds, queueing at the bar, or restrictions on when you can eat... as renting your own villa affords you all the flexibility you can dream of.

For couples, renting a Playa Blanca villa is perfect, as most of the villas available at Lanzarote Lates are private, yet without compromising the magnificent views available around the resort.

Families also have a wealth of villas in Playa Blanca to choose from, many with extra safety options such as pool alarms, fences and other equipment to ensure that your little ones are safe whilst you are on your well deserved holidays.

Playa Blanca itself offers something for everyone. The Marina Rubicon is well respected within the Canary Islands, and offers a wide range of shopping opportunities in its many designer shops, and of course its twice-weekly market where you can stock up on gifts for your friends and family, and keepsakes as a permanent reminder of your holiday in the sun.

Flanking the seafront is a very wide choice of restaurants, with everything from Chinese and Indian cuisine, to Italian pizzas and pastas, to the more traditional Spanish fayre. Don’t miss out on trying the local dishes such as Papas Arrugas, which are small wrinkly potatoes, served with mojo sauces. Or perhaps try something a little more Canarian such as suckling pig or rabbit.

Children are always welcomed in the restaurants in Playa Blanca, and you will find that they are soon keen to learn a little Spanish to speak to the friendly waiting staff in all the eateries.

If you fancy something a little more British or Irish, then there are many bars and cafes to satisfy your cravings. From fish & chips to Sunday roast dinners – there is plenty to choose from.

If you prefer to eat at your self catering villa, then there are a number of good supermarkets in Playa Blanca, where you can buy meat, fish, vegetables and more… all of a very good quality.
