Villa Holidays On Lanzarote
There are some fantastic villa properties located on the popular holiday island of Lanzarote. With many boasting commanding views of the Atlantic as well as private pools and other luxury extras such as Jacuzzis and hot tubs.
Lanzarote is located in the Canary Islands, close to the west coast of Africa. And has become a real favourite with overseas property investors as the climate here enables the owners of Lanzarote villas and apartments to reap year round rental returns. With the best properties commanding rates of around €2,000 per week in peak season.
One of the best selections of rental properties can be found in Puerto del Carmen, situated of the south east coast of the island. This is Lanzarote´s largest resort and is just a short drive from the airport. Boasting some excellent beaches and an abundance of restaurants. Most villas in Puerto del Carmen are located in and around the Old Town, close to the harbour. In areas such as Risco Prieto and Los Fariones. Whilst the only slightly newer New Town is the place to search for budget breaks on apartment complexes.
Puerto del Carmen’s main resort rival is Playa Blanca, which is a thirty minute drive away in the south of the island. Playa Blanca has the advantage of better weather during winter – whilst Lanzarote´s main attraction of the Timanfaya National Park is also close by. And villas in Playa Blanca are also slightly cheaper too – reflecting the impact of the 90´s building boom which created an over supply of property in the area.
Away from the main resorts lies a beautiful and largely unspoilt island that has been carefully protected from over development by strict local planning laws. These prohibit developers from turning the island into a replica of the Spanish Costas, with no high rise buildings allowed. As a result the north of the island especially is almost entirely bereft of tourist development – making this the ideal spot for anyone wanting to connect with the authentic heart of Lanzarote.
Arrieta is a great example of an unspoilt coastal village – and this is how much of Lanzarote must have looked before tourism first took off. With a great, all natural beach to enjoy at Playa La Garita as well as a selection of excellent fish restaurants located along the shoreline. Accommodation here can be found at Finca de Arrieta – Lanzarote´s first eco village which occupies a former farm just five minutes walk from the beach.
