Playa Blanca, Lanzarote

Via the LZ 701 you reach Playa Blanca, the most southern town of Lanzarote.

This former fishing village has become a regular tourism centre especially for English tourists.

The “Marina Rubicón” port is a good starting point for an excursion because it has a wealth of free and easily accessible parking spaces.

Take a look at the marvellous yachts that have docked in the harbour and enjoy the touch of luxury that is in the air and in the surroundings of Marina Rubicón with its sporting and culinary offerings.

The beach promenade takes you directly to the tourist centre of Playa Blanca passing through hotels of the upscale category that line the path. One or the other park bench invites you to linger.

The artificial sand beach Playa Dorada is ideal for a short break and a jump into the cool water and offers with a multitude of free play devices also enough space for the little ones.

Harbour Playa Blanca 5

In Playa Blanca itself you will find a big variety of international restaurants and shopping possibilities.

At the old port are only a few small fishing boats to be found. Instead, large ferries navigating to Fuerteventura or the Playas de Papagayo now dominate the image of the port.

Especially if you want to see Lanzarote apart from your holiday apartment and the adjacent beach of Playa Blanca, you should rent a car.

You can find a holiday accommodation in Playa Blanca right here.

Beaches

Within Playa Blanca, close to larger hotels and apartment complexes, there are the two sandy beaches Playa Dorada and Playa Flamingo, particularly suitable for families.

You can reach the famous Papagayo beaches by bike or by an extensive walk from the town centre about 7 km to the north-east or via a convenient toll road by car (€ 3,- / car).

Excursions

In order to visit the places, beaches and sights to the north of Playa Blanca, you should rent a car anyway, at least a few days. We can gladly arrange for you from particularly reliable and nevertheless cheap car hire companies.

In only approx. 15 – 30 minutes driving time or within approx. 12 – 25km you reach the salt works of Janubio and the black beach with the same name. Via Los Hervideros you get to the fishing village El Golfo with the green lagoon and some good fish restaurants. Romantic sunsets by the sea are included. More targets are the beautiful village of Yaiza, where the municipal administration of Playa Blanca is situated, the famous fire mountains or a wine tasting in the nearby La Geria wine-growing area.

In order to enjoy the beaches of Puerto del Carmen, Arrecife or the former capiatal Teguise or in the north of the island, in the valley of the 1000 palm trees, Haría, and other places of interest, you should at least count half a day or even better several day trips. The car hire offers you a map showing the most important sights you should not miss on your Lanzarote holiday.

From Playa Blanca you can also reach mostly well-visible neighbouring island Fuerteventura. You get there by ferry (Lineas ARMAS or Fred Olsen line) in about 25 – 35 minutes. The ferries leave daily several times from the signposted port of Playa Blanca.

Costa Teguise, Lanzarote

Like Puerto Del Carmen, Costa Teguise located to the east of Lanazrote is also a touristic center. The town of Costa Teguise is home to tourists and less locals. Here you will find the most diverse holiday accommodations. From simple apartments to 5 star hotels. There are numerous restaurants, cafe’s, pubs and shopping as well as car rentals along the beach promenade and throughout the town. Especially in the area of ​​the Avenida de las Islas Canarias. In addition, you have four sandy beaches of natural origin. Playa de los Charcos, Playa de las Cucharas, Playa del Jablillo and Playa Bastián. All are maintained regularly for touristic needs. For every type of water sports you will find the ideal conditions. Windsurfers find particularly good conditions at Playa de las Cucharas. If you do not want to spend the day in the sun, you can visit the largest aquarium in the Canary Islands. Above Costa Teguise there is also a beautiful 18-hole golf course. A very special experience to visit this green oasis. The decision to either watch the ball or enjoy the fantastic view sometimes is quite difficult.

The resort, which was planned by César Manrique, also has an “old” village square. Although the square is artificially laid out, the largest gum tree on the island is here and the atmosphere is really idyllic in the Pueble Marinero. On Friday evening there is a small edition of the market of Teguise.

History

The Costa Teguise tourist center, about ten kilometers northeast of the island’s capital, Arrecife, was acquired by the Spanish industrial company Unión Explosivos Riotinto at the end of the 1960s. Then, the building of the new town began from the beginning of the 1970s to bring tourism in the municipality of Teguise.

César Manrique, the well-known lanzarote architect and environmentalist, was instrumental in the planning and execution, as well as in the garden and swimming pool facilities of the island’s first five-star hotel, Melia Salinas. The houses of the new holiday resort were built in lanzarotenian, white style with green or brown windows. The number of floors was limited to a maximum of two storeys. In some places the image has changed today by the construction of slightly higher, 3 and 4-star hotels.

Important

From Costa Teguise there is especially to Arrecife and to Puerto del Carmen (during the day every twenty minutes) as well as to Teguise and also to Caleta de Famara (several times daily) a very good public bus connections.

Caleta de Famara, Lanzarote

Caleta de Famara is the surfing spot on Lanzarote, where you can learn how to surf, or improve your surfing skills. Coming from the direction of Teguise, take the LZ-402 to Famara and you will pass the natural white sand beach and take a look at the surf and the waves at Playa de Famara. Following the course of the road, you drive into the small village and, directly on the left, you will find several surf schools, which are unmistakably decorated with various surfboards and neoprene suits as well as different logos. There are plenty of parking spaces around. Apart from that Caleta de Famara is a small and quiet fishermen’s village with few tourism. But one of the best restaurants on Lanzarote is located there: The “Restaurante El Risco.”

Important

The flow of the ocean is strong in Famara. Be careful when you go into the sea with or without a surfboard and do not go behind the point where the last waves break. Thus, at Famara Beach is always the red flag hoisted up.

The German restaurant Emmax in Playa Honda is located directly at the sea, at the beach promenade.

One is passionate about the quality and excellent taste of premium dishes in the kitchen, while his partner takes care of a particularly friendly and professional service behind the bar and at the guests’ tables.

When the two good friends, after being famous and popular in Puerto Calero with their restaurant Emmax, came up with the idea of establishing an exquisite restaurant in Playa Honda a few years ago, people asked them: “What do you want now in Playa Honda? At that time, the area of Playa Honda was only just beginning to develop into a real beach and dinner attraction for locals and tourists.

Not only the former regular guests of Puerto Calero, but also more and more new guests came to appreciate and love the beach promenade of Playa Honda.

The Restaurant Emmax has contributed significantly to the positive development of Playa Honda as a location for beautiful holiday memories.

The Restaurant Emmax in Playa Honda combines German knowledge and experience with international, partly Asian cuisine.

You can expect a daily changing and exquisite menu of the highest quality.

Whether fresh fish from Lanzarote, well-prepared Secreto Ibérico from the Spanish mainland, homemade pasta or salads with particularly interesting herbs, here you will always want to be satisfied again and again to eat.

Enjoy a relaxing afternoon or evening at the Emmax restaurant in Playa Honda, enjoying fresh, homemade cheesecake, a delicious tiramisu of oranges or a chocolate and avocado mousse.
