Villas to Rent in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote: Where to Stay

Playa Blanca is compact, so the main choice is which end of the resort to stay at. The town beach is at its centre. That suits anyone who wants to walk to the sand and back without planning around transport.

To the west, the Costa del Rubicón stretches about 2.5 miles towards the Pechiguera Lighthouse. It is the side to pick if you like a long coastal walk and quieter evenings away from the town beach. To the east, Mujeres and Playa del Papagayo lie about 2.5 to 3 miles from the centre. Staying on that side puts the beaches the resort is best known for closest to your door.

Search patterns show what British travellers want here. Villas to rent in Playa Blanca and self-catering top the list, followed by adults-only hotels and all-inclusive stays. A villa or apartment makes sense for families and groups who want their own space and kitchen. Self-catering in Lanzarote's Playa Blanca also suits longer winter stays, when the mild 21°C to 23°C days make a fortnight or more appealing.

Couples often look at adults-only hotels in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, for a quieter pool and dining room. Families tend to weigh all-inclusive against self-catering, depending on how often they plan to eat out. The live hotel prices shown on this page let you compare these styles side by side.

Rain is rarely a factor. Even the wettest month in the Puerto del Carmen records, February, averages only four rain days. That means you can choose your dates around school holidays and budget rather than the weather. Prices for families usually rise during UK school holidays, so book early if you are tied to those weeks.

If you want flights, hotel and transfers bundled together, compare package deals from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach here. If you rent a villa outside the centre, add car hire to your search. Mujeres, Papagayo and the lighthouse are all a short drive away, and you can compare car hire on this page too.
