Set on the southern tip of Lanzarote, Playa Blanca is the fastest growing tourist resort on the island. Originally a small fishing village, Playa Blanca has managed to retain much of its traditional charm, thanks to the sympathetic development of the town. The golden beaches of Playa Blanca are particularly popular with families for their gently sloping sands and safe waters. The resort features two beaches: the first is small with views of the port, while the second is a man-made beach offering a wealth of water sports.

A picturesque promenade runs the length of the beachfront and is lined with bars and restaurants. Visitors can enjoy refreshing drinks on the terraces and enjoy spectacular sea views. The new Marina Rubicon is a popular place for shoppers. Holidays in Playa Blanca offer a wide choice of bars and restaurants, but those seeking all-night drinking and dancing can head to Costa Teguise or Puerto del Carmen.

Holidays in Playa Blanca offer easy connections with the rest of the island, due to the efficient local buses. Ferries also depart from Playa Blanca to Fuerteventura twice a day. There are a range of nearby excursions, including: the beautiful Papagayo Beach, which is packed with fine white sand; the Timanfaya National Park, home to more than 100 volcanoes, with stunning lunar craters and volcanic tunnels; the Cave of Los Verdes, which was formed more than 3000 years ago; the Cactus Garden with more than 1000 species of cactus; the volcanic crater of El Golfo with its striking green lagoon; and Los Hervideros with its series of caves and crashing waters.
