Lanzarote makes an ideal holiday destination, due to its great year round climate, unspoilt scenery and a wide range of good quality accommodation. Situated in the Canarian archipelago, it is the most easterly of the seven islands located some 70 kilometres off the coast of Africa, in the Atlantic Ocean.
The island has a year round average temperature of 20?, with the summer months usually much hotter than this, but not to hot as too make it uncomfortable.It’s blessed with a warm, dry climate, where the heat is often tempered by the trade winds that blow off the Atlantic thus making it the ideal weather soak up the sunshine and to enjoy the many golden sandy beaches that can be found around the island if you prefer not to stay in one resort.
Aside from its beaches, Lanzarote also has some stunning scenery, comprised of hundreds of volcanoes in the south making the scenery reminiscent of a prehistoirc landscape, and palm covered valleys in the north. And as tourist development has been carefully controlled, visitors to the island will find that it looks and feels totally unspoilt.
In more recent times the choice of holiday accommodation has increased markedly in both variety and indeed quality. Meaning that now it is possible to hire Lanzarote Villas with all mod cons, including a private swimming pool, internet connection, dishwasher and numerous extras, such as Jacuzzis and games rooms.
The southern most resort of Playa Blanca is a particular favourite with families who enjoy self-catering holidays as there is a wide variety of private villas and apartments available for rent. Much of this accommodation has been recently constructed, as the town has grown rapidly in the last few years, with hotels and villas the main areas of development.
A typical villa in Playa Blanca will have a private heated swimming pool, fully fitted kitchen, stylishly furnished lounge, en-suite bathrooms and possibly a chill-out room or TV lounge. The town itself has three lovely beaches, whilst just on its eastern edge are the Playas de Papagayo, often voted the best beaches in the Canaries.
Holidaymakers to this lovely island will not only be restricted to villas in Playa Blanca though as Lanzarote also has a wide selection of Lanzarote holiday apartments in other rural settings and towns such as Teguise, the old capital of the island.
