Cheap Breaks in Lanzarote
The current economic doom and gloom means that some holiday makers will be staying at home this year. Rather than enjoying a sunshine break abroad. And whilst no destination is immune many, such as Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, will still be attracting a sizeable amount of arrivals. Despite the weak pound and economic climate.
This figure will still be way down on previous years however. As island tourist authorities have already recorded a 20% drop in arrivals during the first quarter of this year. As some consumers opt to either stay at home or journey outside of the euro zone. But many more still find that a good value break in a destination such as Lanzarote can even work out cheaper than a holiday in the UK.
Many Lanzarote apartments for example offer room rates that start from around €170 per week – which is the price per room, not per person. With the best offers usually available on apartments in Puerto del Carmen – the largest and oldest resort on the island. Which boasts the highest concentration of complexes of any destination on Lanzarote.
The bulk of these tend to be located in the New Town area. Usually in close proximity to the beach (within ten minutes walking distance) and all of the other amenities of the resort. Puerto del Carmen has also enjoyed a makeover in the last twelve months. And now boasts a smart new beachfront promenade and an upmarket marina in the Old Town harbour area. So further enhancing the resorts appeal.
There´s a wide selection of high quality Lanzarote villas available for rent across the island. All offering high standards of accommodation with prices starting from around €400 per week. For a two bedroom villa with private pool. There are more villas in Playa Blanca, the newest destination on the island, than in any other resort. Thanks to the fact that hundreds of overseas investors have snapped up property here in recent years to rent out to their fellow tourists.

Playa Blanca is an atmospheric and well appointed destination. Boasting a delightful seafront promenade that stretches from one end of the resort to the other. Along with some of the best beaches on the island and a fantastic microclimate. Which tends to make this the most reliable choice for those in search of sun. Visitors can even hop on a ferry and visit the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura, just 6km away across the Bocaina Straits.
No matter where you choose to stay on the Island of Lanzarote just as with the other Canaries islands you can be assured of a warm reception and a fantastic holiday.
