Playa Blanca Lanzarote Holidays: Beaches, Weather and Packages

Playa Blanca is a beach resort first and foremost. It suits travellers who want sand, sea and reliable sunshine, with short trips to nearby coves rather than long days on the road. Families and couples will find the most to like, because the main attractions are beaches within a few miles of town. The coastal path towards the Pechiguera Lighthouse makes an easy outing.

It also suits people escaping a British winter. Even the coolest months reach 21°C by day and rarely drop below 15°C at night. If a quiet beach break in that kind of weather is what you are after, holidays to Playa Blanca Lanzarote fit the bill.

The resort's own beach, Playa Blanca, sits right in town, so it is the default for most days. About 2.5 miles away is the Costa del Rubicón, the stretch of coast that leads to the Pechiguera Lighthouse. The beach at Mujeres lies at a similar distance.

Playa del Papagayo is around 3 miles from the centre. It is the best-known of the nearby beaches and the natural choice for a day out from your hotel.

These beaches lie on either side of town, so where you stay shapes your days. Hotels towards the lighthouse put the Costa del Rubicón on your doorstep. Hotels on the other side are closer to Mujeres and Papagayo.

Every month is a reasonable month here. The figures come from the weather station at Puerto del Carmen, further up the coast. They show highs of 21°C in January and February, 23°C in March and 25°C in April. Summer builds to 27°C in July and a peak of 29°C in August. October stays warm at 28°C, and November still reaches 25°C. Rainfall is slight all year. February is the wettest month with around 17mm, and July to September see barely any rain at all.

For families tied to the school calendar, the summer, October half-term and Easter holidays are the busiest periods. Prices for those dates generally rise as departure approaches, so they are the ones to book early. Couples and anyone with flexible dates can aim for late autumn or early spring, when the warmth holds and demand is lower.
