Lanzarote self catering holidays
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 is great news for the tourists visiting the island as there are some great deals to be had on luxury lanzarote villas and holiday apartments in Lanzarote.
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.
Accommodation is available in both the New and Old Towns – both popular holiday locations in their own right. Offering good facilities, such as swimming pools and maid service at highly competitive prices. Puerto del Carmen has also enjoyed a recent revamp, with a new marina nearing completion in the Old Town Harbour area. Whilst the main beachfront strip, the Avenida de las Playas has been partly pedestrians. Making it a for more pleasant place to stroll.
For those who prefer more space and a private pool there are lots of good quality Lanzarote villas available for rent in all locations right across the island.Expect to pay from €400 upwards for a standard two bedroom villa with swimming pool. With many owners offering deals on their villas in Playa Blanca for early bookings. As competition for business intensifies in the islands southernmost resort due to an over supply of property there.
Playa Blanca is an ideal location for a break in the sun. Not least as it enjoys the best microclimate on the island. And is also home to some of Lanzarote´s finest beaches – such as the set of coves at Papagayo, which are just fifteen minutes walk from the town centre. Along with Playa Dorada and Playa Flamingo in the heart of the resort itself.
Visitors to the Canaries will get a warm welcome and have a fantastic holiday regardless of their choice of destination.
