Sophisticated resort; loads of watersports, designer boutiques and great restaurants.
•What's Lanzarote like? If you haven't visited Lanzarote before, all you probably know is that it has an amazing volcanic landscape similar to that of the surface of the moon. Or in the words of one traveller, it's like something out of early Dr Who.
•That is all true, but Lanzarote is also an island that has avoided the ravages of high rise development. So you'll find low rise white washed buildings and hotels with colourful shutters, wide tree lined traffic free promenades, traditional and modern restaurants and bars, lava flow formations, farms, vineyards and the amazing fire mountain, Timanfaya. Plus the island is peppered with the wacky work of Cesar Manrique, a contemporary of Picasso's.
•Playa Blanca is a smart, stylish newish resort on the southern tip of Lanzarote. Until quite recently, it was a small fishing village with a ferry to Fuerteventura.
•Ideal for sophisticated sea and sun lovers.
•What's the beach like at Playa Blanca? The coastline is around 9km long and divided into 3 bays which are sheltered and great for sunbathing and swimming. The main beach is a blue flag beach.
•Papagayo beach is quite remote, down a dirt track or reached by boat. It is a beautiful beach with coves but very few facilities such as toilets, cafe etc so take your own supplies.
•Watersports at Playa Blanca: Sailing, glass bottom boats, fishing trips, boat rides to Papagayo beach and from the old harbour; the ferry to Fuerteventura.
•What about the Marina Rubicon? The stunning marina has berths for 400 expensive yachts. Take a trip on a luxury catamaran and explore the surrounding islands, go snorkelling or jet skiing. Enjoy a sailing course or a one or two man kayak. Plus some of the Lanzarote's best diving spots are near here. Designer boutiques, great shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.
•Is Playa Blanca child friendly? Here's what our holidaymakers said: "Lovely seafront walks and safe beach for children." - "There is a glass bottom boat down at Playa Blanca harbour and it takes you to Papagayo beach. They made the kids very welcome and they fed the fish so you could see lots of them. Then when it came to the beach they transport you on a little speed boat which the kids loved." - "The beach front restaurants, the food is great and the kids were fussed over."
