To begin with, not having to depend on the hotel dining room for buffet style meals is a huge bonus. And self-catering in a villa is not as restrictive as trying to cook a meal on a two-ring stove. As the holiday villas in Lanzarote are all of a good standard, meaning the kitchens are modern and fully equipped with the conveniences most people expect.

In the oldest resort of Puerto del Carmen, the vast majority of properties available to rent are located in an extremely attractive enclave known as Los Mojones. Here, the holiday villas in Puerto del Carmen can be found nestled amongst mature tropical gardens, boasting bougainvillea and palm trees. Many have beautiful sea views, due to the slightly elevated position they are in.

Private swimming pools and hot-tubs abound, as do extensive home entertainment facilities, designed to keep the children amused and give the adults a proper break. Comfortable furnishings and décor complete the mix, as these villas offer guests a proper home from home experience.

The two other main resorts on Lanzarote also have their fair share of good quality accommodation. Costa Teguise is the smallest of the three coastal towns, with the centre of its activities based around the Las Cucharas beach. This is a wide stretch of golden sand, ideal for children to paddle in and many of the holiday villas in Costa Teguise are only a three-minute walk away.

At the southern most tip of the island is Playa Blanca – the most recent addition to Lanzarote’s holiday offering. Here there are hundreds of properties to choose from and these holiday villas in Playa Blanca are all of recent construction. Many have additional features, such as air conditioning and internet access.

Spacious sun terraces surround the private swimming pools, with many of the gardens planted with indigenous plants and tropical flowers such as hibiscus. Whilst their interiors are designed to make any visitor’s stay as relaxed and enjoyable as possible.
