Travel Tips

The popular resort of Puerto del Carmen nestles into the eastern coastline of Lanzarote and has some of the best weather to be found anywhere on the Canarian island. The town is protected from the prevailing winds that blow off the Atlantic by a range of volcanoes at its back.

These conditions mean that visitors can thoroughly enjoy the golden sandy beaches that run along its seafront, whether they are swimming, snorkeling or sun bathing. In addition, there have been recent improvements to the promenade which has greatly enhanced it for pedestrians.

Over the course of its history, Puerto del Carmen has been transformed from a small village surrounding a harbour to a tourist destination. The majority of visitors to the town will stay in self-catering accommodation, of which there is an extensive selection. Finding accommodation here should not be a problem as their are plenty of apartments in Lanzarote so you should be able to find something to suit your needs.

All of the apartment complexes fit a similar blueprint of low rise buildings, with lush tropical planting surrounding them. This style of development helps to give the town its unspoiled and relaxed atmosphere, making it the perfect backdrop for holidays. The quiet residential streets of the resort are also home to an excellent selection of Lanzarote holiday villas. Most enjoy extremely private surroundings, whilst many have additional features or personalised facilities that make them a home from home for guests.

Almost every villa has been appointed with comfortable furniture and extra facilities to make it feel like a proper home from home. Quite apart from pools and hot tubs, there is usually a good choice of home entertainment available too, with films, books and games all on tap.

Aside from the wide choice of Lanzarote accommodation, Puerto del Carmen is well provided with restaurants, with nearly every national cuisine represented, from Italian to Japanese. A good number of these establishments offer local specialties, with particular emphasis on seafood, especially in the old harbour area.

For those who enjoy late nights whilst on holiday, there is a wide choice of clubs and bars mostly situated in the central area of the town. Unsurprisingly, many of the music venues don’t open their doors until the small hours, as is typical of Spanish nightspots.
