Playa Blanca Holidays – One of the most relaxing Lanzarote beach resorts
Holidays in Playa Blanca are based in a popular Lanzarote beach resort that runs for several miles alongside several sheltered sandy beaches set in a large 5 mile bay at the south-west end of the island, 18 miles west of Puerto del Carmen and 20 miles west of Lanzarote airport.

The resort offers a nice collection of bars and restaurants along the seafront and a further choice of restaurants and superior shopping around a lively harbour and marina. Nightlife here is a relatively modest affair with a few music bars supplementing hotel entertainment.

Beaches include tiny Playa Blanca, sheltered Playa Dorada with its fine pale sand, Playa Flamingo, and the much longer Playa de las Coloradas. Playa Blanca beaches have good clean calm water excellent for swimming. Some of the finest unspoilt beaches on Lanzarote are found at Papagayo, 4 miles to the east and linked to Playa Blanca by ferry. Breaks in Playa Blanca could also include watersports, with a good scuba diving centre in the resort.
