Hot Summer Holidays In Puerto del Carmen

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.

As a result, the numerous sandy beaches along its seven kilometre seafront offer ideal conditions for sunbathing, snorkeling and swimming. Whilst the recent improvements to the promenade make it a much more enjoyable place for pedestrians.

Over the last forty years, the town has developed from its humble beginnings as a small fishing village to become the resort it is today. So it is now home to some of the best self-catering Lanzarote accommodation to be found on the island. Travellers on a tight budget are well catered for as there are plenty of apartments in Lanzarote so finding something suitable should not be a problem.

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.
