Affordable Vacation Villas in Playa Blanca
Until as recently as thirty years ago Playa Blanca was still a small fishing village – long after the development of resort rivals Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise to the north. Serving as a port from where ferries cross the Bocaina Straits to Fuerteventura, the neighbouring Canary Island. But its great climate and beaches soon caught the eye of developers – and building work started in earnest during the 1990´s. Resulting in a host of new hotel and villa developments.
Visitors arriving by plane and viewing the resort from the air will note that Playa Blanca basically comprises three bays set within one much larger cove. And tourist visitors today can now enjoy a relaxing stroll from one end of the resort to the other. Thanks to the fact that a delightful promenade now runs the entire length of Playa Blanca from the Faro de Pechuguera lighthouse to the outer reaches of the beaches at Papagayo.
Holiday villas in Playa Blanca have become very popular with tourists over the last few years, as they offer decent value for money. And are the best choice during the winter months when the climate here is more favourable than elsewhere on the island.
Holiday villas in Playa Blanca are also in plentiful supply making rental accommodation here cheaper than in the other resorts. And all of these properties boast plenty of luxury extras such as private swimming pools, satellite TV and hot tubs. As well as internet connections for those who need to stay online even when on holiday, making them an ideal choice for families ar even a relaxing romantic holiday for two.
Whilst many guests find it hard to leave the poolside during their stay there are some great beaches around the resort to explore. Such as the small town beach of Playa Blanca (the resorts namesake), Playa Dorada and Playa Flamingo. As well as the real star of the show – the stunning set of coves and bays of Papagayo (parrot in Spanish). Which take just fifteen minutes to reach on foot from the centre of the resort. The islands number one tourist attraction, the Timanfaya Volcano Park, is also just a short drive away. And is an absolute must see for anyone visiting Lanzarote.
