Few holiday destinations offer sunshine all year round

In Europe the closest set of islands that can lay claim to this sort of climate are the Canaries. Which are all owned by Spain and located around a four hour flight from the UK. YEAR ROUND HOLIDAYS IN LANZAROTE The climate in the Canaries has led to the archipelago becoming the second most visited region in Spain, second only to Catalonia. With recent estimates suggesting that around ten million tourists will touch down one of these seven islands during the course of 2010.

Lanzarote lies at the eastern end of the chain, closest to the coast of Africa. And is far less crowed and built up than larger islands such as Tenerife. Making it popular with independent travellers as well as package tourists. Getting to the island is very simple from the UK as these days there are FLIGHTS TO LANZAROTE from virtually every airport in the UK. As well as an abundance of cheap fares. Check out the websites of companies such as Ryanair and Monarch for the best deals. With some returns available from as little as £70 plus taxes and charges. The main flight day is Thursday for UK passengers – although services now run on most days of the week. And visitors arriving at Arrecife airport will find that there isn’t that much in terms of shops and services available. With no bureau de change for example. There are however plenty of car hire offices here for anyone planning to rent a vehicle during their stay.

Puerto del Carmen is the resort located closest to the airport and is the most popular destination on the island. Offering a wide selection of hotel, villa and apartment accommodation – along with great beaches and decent restaurants. Some of the best HOLIDAY VILLAS IN LANZAROTE can also be found here, in areas such as Risco Prieto and Los Mojones. Both of which are located close to the atmospheric Old Town Harbour area.

Playa Blanca is the second busiest resort – and is situated about forty minutes drive from the airport. There are some superb beaches here and standards of accommodation are high. With plenty of four star hotels located along the coastline. There are also plenty of PLAYA BLANCA VILLAS available for rental, usually at slightly cheaper rates than in Puerto del Carmen. These days around half of all visitors are booking apartments and villas direct online. With the remainder opting for hotels or package deals with one of the main tour operators.
