Why Choose Playa Blanca for a Relaxing Seaside Break?
If you have a relaxing seaside break in Lanzarote in mind, then the popular coastal town of Playa Blanca could be the perfect place to stay. Reputed to be Lanzarote's most sophisticated seaside resort, Playa Blanca offers a good choice of restaurants, shops, a harbour, and two beaches, Playa Flamingo and Playa Dorada.
What Playa Blanca Offers for Self-Catering Vacations
Visitors shouldn’t expect too much elegance and style, though, at Playa Blanca. Although pretty, at heart, this town is a beach resort that grew up from a fishing village. Traditionally styled restaurants and sports bars mingle alongside more upmarket establishments. Expect Canarian charm and plenty of seaside appeal, and you should enjoy all that Playa Blanca has to offer.
Where are the Best Beaches in Playa Blanca?
The most beautiful beaches are found outside the town, around Playa Papagayo, where the waters are turquoise and exceptionally clear. It's essential to have a car to get there, or you could book a taxi ride each way. If you like plenty of facilities by the beach, sticking to the beaches within Playa Blanca is wise. Although not as picturesque as Playa Papagayo, they are far superior in terms of facilities. You can easily rent a sun-bed and umbrella and lie back, relax, and soak up the sunshine in comfort, with the added benefit of a great choice of bars, cafes, and restaurants just a short, easy walk away.
Ideas for Days Out from Playa Blanca
For days out, the Timanfaya National Park is within easy reach. Upon arrival, you may feel like you've landed on another planet with the spectacular lunar landscape to greet you. Witness dried lava fields first hand, see the red-hued towering crater shells left by former erupted volcanoes, and marvel at the otherworldly volcanic landscape. Camel rides and horse riding can also be enjoyed just a short drive from Playa Blanca. What better way to see the wonderful landscape of Lanzarote? A trip to the visitor centre where you can see geysers angrily sending out steam from the ground and setting fire to bracken dropped on them makes for an unforgettable experience. You can truly feel and see the power of Mother Earth at her angriest and most powerful at Timanfaya National Park.
