Villa Sunshine in Playa Blanca
Visitors to Playa Blanca are often surprised that this resort has only really come into being in the last ten years. As it would seem to be the logical choice for a holiday destination on Lanzarote for several reasons.
Not least amongst these is the fact that it enjoys better weather than anywhere else on the island. The average temperature is usually at least one or two degrees higher here, whilst the town’s position means that the prevailing winds from the north east are somewhat tempered.
Its position facing the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura is another obvious advantage. Not least because just outside the town of Corralejo, where the Playa Blanca ferry docks, are the famous Fuerteventura sand dunes. Twelve kilometres of white sand beckon holidaymakers from Lanzarote to make the short journey over the Bocaina Strait for an afternoon at Las Dunas.
But for those who think this is more effort than they can muster, there are some equally beautiful beaches to enjoy just outside Playa Blanca. The Playas de Papagayo are formed of six pristine coves and bays that are ideal for sunbathing and snorkelling.
For visitors staying close to the Marina Rubicon, it is a very short drive to reach these beaches. A quick trip to a Lanzarote car hire concession and then you can pack up a picnic to visit this lovely part of the coastline. The beaches are actually part of a protected reserve, which is much of the reason why they are still undeveloped.
Having a car is also a good idea for holidaymakers who opt to stay in one of the many Playa Blanca holiday villas. Not only does this alleviate having to get a taxi to and from the airport, but it also opens up the whole island to be explored. And there are many places worthy of a visit during a holiday on Lanzarote.
The island is exceptionally unspoilt, with very little visual clutter to get in the way of its unusual landscapes. It regularly captivates visitors and as a result, many holidaymakers find themselves seriously considering looking at Lanzarote property in the course of their sojourn.
One of the most popular places to look for that villa in the sun is Playa Blanca. Which is hardly surprising for any of the thousands of people who have visited the resort and had a week of soaring temperatures and unbroken sunshine.
