Boasting a great selection of rental accommodation which can be enjoyed all year round. Thanks to Lanzarote´s temperate climate – which ensures visitors can even enjoy Christmas Day on the beach.

Lanzarote is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Spain and has been welcoming tourists for over four decades. The bulk of the from the UK, Germany and Eire. The island boasts over ninety beaches – most of the comprised of golden grains, rather than black sands as is the case on other destinations in the Canaries. And offers loads for visitors to do – ranging from natural wonders such as the Timanfaya Volcano Park through to the imaginative creations of the local artist Cesar Manrique.

As more and more travellers eschew conventional travel agencies and package holidays to create their own holidays online. Which has resulted in a massive growth in private rental accommodation on islands such as Lanzarote.

So where will visitors find the best rental accommodation? Playa Blanca is located in the south of the island and is the fastest growing destination on Lanzarote. Thanks to the fact that the resort benefits from the best weather on the island and an excellent range of accommodation options.

Villas in Playa Blanca are particularly popular – as most of these properties have been specifically built for the holiday rental market. And hence enjoy privileged positions within the resort and benefit from great views across to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura.

Elsewhere on the island Puerto del Carmen is a popular choice for anyone seeking private rental accommodation. As Lanzarote´s oldest resort has some upmarket residential enclaves, such as Los Mojones, which are home to a fine selection of villa properties.

Flights to Lanzarote are available from all major UK airports and take just four hours. With return tickets starting at around £150. Making Lanzarote an affordable option for anyone planning a villa holiday break this summer.
