Travel

Arrecife airport 30 mins. Car hire recommended for easy access to main resort and supermarkets. Local car hire charges are reasonable. We recommended using other days other than Thursday (Thursday is the main changeover day), as you get better deals on flights and it is a lot less stressful making you way through the airport and collecting your car. There are flights going to Lanzarote on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesday's and Thursday's.

Distances
 A small selection of shops/restaurants are within a 7 mins walk of the property where you can purchase all your holiday essentials. And in the same location there are two local bars which are a great place to unwind and meet other people (with all major sporting events and pool table)& a bakery (cakes to die for).

The spectacular coastline is just a 3 minute walk from the villa and is a must visit item during your stay. Playa Blanca 3km or 5 mins drive. A taxi ride into Playa Blanca is approx 3 euros.There are plenty of beach activities and paragliding ect.Fishing, catamaran, submarine and glass bottom boat trips are available too.

New bus service with faro park pick up's / drop off's.The bus is on a loop which goes from one end of Playa Blanca to the other, pay your 1.5 euro's and stay on as long as you like, or get off where you want to, lots of bus stops around the resort.

Lanzarote is situated just 79 miles off the coast of Africa and is the most easterly of the Canary Islands. The island is 37 miles (60km) long and 12 miles (20 km) wide, making it the fourth largest island in the Canaries.

Lanzarote enjoys a mild dry climate with average daytime temperatures ranging from about 21°C in January to 29°C in August. Annual rainfall is just 140mm (5.5 inches). This makes Lanzarote the perfect year-round destination.

As with the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote is Volcanic in origin. Due to the recent eruptions during the 18th and 19th Centuries, many parts of Lanzarote appear to be from another world, often described as 'lunar' or 'Martian'.
The dry climate (and lack of erosion) means that the Volcanic Landscape appears much as it did just after the eruptions.

Amongst the many stunning Volcanic features of Lanzarote is the longest Volcanic Tunnel in the world, the Atlantida Tunnel, which is over 7 km long and includes the La Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua.

Despite the Volcanic nature of the island, Lanzarote has several beautiful white beaches such as at Playa Blanca and Papagayo.

Local authority regulations on the amount and style of development mean that there is no billboard advertising and no high rise buildings in Lanzarote.
