Welcome Home Lanzarote
We just returned from Lanzarote having stayed at Alvaro & Irena’s apartment. I can honestly say the apartment had everything we needed to have a relaxing & peaceful holiday. The location was excellent, in a peaceful part of town but close enough to everywhere we wanted to visit. The apartment was gorgeous- cosy & cute for couples. Finally, we made sure to visit Alvaro & Irena’s restaurant ‘La Carmencita’. My partner & I agreed this was the best meal we had on the island. Not only was the food amazing, but the hospitality shown by both hosts made us feel welcomed and, infact, special, on our trip away. Thank you Alvaro& Irena- we hope to visit again!

Modern detached villa with private heated pool
Richard’s villa, located just minutes from the beach, was perfect for our stay. We found the villa to be extremely comfortable and could not think of any ways in which our experience could have been improved. Hilary who looked after us during our stay was attentive and friendly, and made sure we had everything we required to make our stay exceptional. I hope to return to this lovely property again, and would recommend to any friends and family travelling to the area! Thank you for an exceptional visit to Lanzarote!

200 metres from the beach!
Perfect apartment with everything you could need. We loved the location next to the beach and lovely restaurants and bars.

Casa Los Angeles
La maison est parfaite pour un séjour à Lanzarote : spacieuse, très bien équipée, dans une petite impasse calme avec une belle vue sur la mer. Ernesto a contribué à rendre l'expérience encore plus fantastique. Très sympathique et attentionné, il s'est montré arrangeant et nous a donné beaucoup de bons conseils. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !

Fully equipped apartment 5 minutes from the beach
Martin and Sandy were the perfect hosts. They reassured us that they were only a phone call away if needed, they were friendly and helpful. The apartment was fantastic, very clean and had everything we needed, a lovely bottle of wine and cake as a welcome gift, also milk, sugar, tea, coffee etc. it was so kind of them. The area is very quiet but within walking distance to the Old town and the Strip, plenty of bars and restaurants. We would definitely recommend and we will be back. Do not hesitate to book this apartment. Thank you both, Bish and Anne.

Casa del Sol - vista mare Puerto Del Carmen
Would highly recommend. A beautiful apartment in a great spot. The apartment is spacious and very clean with a lovely big balcony great for catching some sun. Luca & Sara were very responsive and helpful from start to finish. The instructions on how to find the apartment and to access were very clear and helped for an easy check in which was appreciated. We had a great time and will definitely be returing Thank you!!

EcoTabaiba, en plena naturaleza
Wir als Paar, verbrachten einen sehr schönen Wochenaufenthalt in dieser herzigen Finca! Pepa gab uns alle sehr detaillierten Informationen zum Haus, die Anfahrt etc. und Sie antwortete immer sehr schnell. Die Kommunikation war ausschliesslich online. Das Haus ist die letzten Meter über eine nicht asphaltierte Strasse gut erreichbar, es benötigt aufgrund der Lage ein Fahrzeug. Die Aussicht in die Weite mit Meersicht und Vulkansicht ist traumhaft. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und geeignet für Entspannung. Das Haus liegt an einer sehr vorteilhaften Lage, um zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten zu gelangen. Wir haben im Puerto del Carmen und Playa Blanca vorzüglich gespeist. Diese Zeit behalten wir in toller Erinnerung!

Your guide to Puerto del Carmen
All About Puerto del Carmen
Situated on the southern coast of Lanzarote, the easternmost of Spain’s Canary Islands, the town of Puerto del Carmen is known for its crystal-clear waters, its laid-back beaches, and its lively nightlife. Its setting, too: The town’s low, whitewashed buildings contrast attractively against the green palm trees that line its streets and the volcanic mountains that rise behind the town.
After spending a sunny day on a lounge chair, you can wander along the Avenida de las Playas, which runs east along the shorefront from the Playa Matagorda to the old town harbor, stopping in at its many restaurants and boutiques. Later in the evening, the action picks up at the town’s bars and nightclubs, whose doorways emit thumping music and festive vibes.
If you’re interested in exploring the natural world here, the waters off the coast teem with marine life, and the gentle waves and shallow ocean floor make snorkeling and scuba diving easy. If you’re new to diving, you’ll find several schools right on the beaches. A short drive away, Timanfaya National Park promises colorful lichen-covered rocks, dormant volcanic craters, and dramatic demonstrations of the geothermal activity originating deep underground.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Puerto del Carmen
Thanks to the region’s near-constant sun and dry heat, Puerto del Carmen apartments are popular all year round. The weather conditions do fluctuate slightly through the year: If you plan to enjoy the town’s beautiful beaches and water-related activities, summer through early fall tends to be the best time — temperatures are slightly higher, and the ocean waters are warmer. Do expect dry, dusty winds to blow across the island from time to time. Winters are cool but mildly so, and that’s when Lanzarote receives the bulk of its rain. The ocean currents can grow chilly during these months, so you may want to stay on the shore or venture inland.
The gentle climate brings locals out into the streets for festivals throughout the year. Carnival, which takes place in the early spring, is one of the area’s largest celebrations, with music and colorful parades. If you’re visiting during the summer, you might catch the Fiesta del Carmen, which celebrates the patron saint of fishermen with traditional music, dancing, and fairground rides. In the fall, the Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Los Dolores is marked by a procession of locals in traditional clothing, making their way to the village of Mancha Blanca to honor the patroness of the island.
Top things to do in Puerto del Carmen
Playa Chica
Playa Chica is one of Puerto del Carmen’s best beaches. Surrounded by volcanic rock formations, the cove’s calm, clear waters are popular with snorkelers. You might even spot an octopus on the sea bed. A dive school is located on the beach, making it easy to brush up your skills or venture under the water’s surface for the first time.
Caldera de Los Cuervos
Located just 10 minutes north of Puerto del Carmen, Caldera de Los Cuervos — commonly referred to as Volcán El Cuervo — is a crater formed by a series of eruptions that began in 1730. A trail leads you across dark solidified lava to the top and right down into the center. Along the way, you’ll find signs explaining how the crater was formed.
Timanfaya National Park
Twenty minutes inland from Puerto del Carmen is the 20-square-mile Timanfaya National Park, a volcanic zone that formed in the 1730s. An entire quarter of the island was covered by lava for several years, and the area that makes up the national park still looks like a post-apocalyptic wasteland. In some places, you can still see evidence of volcanic activity bubbling below the ground. Trek the Tremensana or Coastal Routes to take in the fascinating geological landscape, and learn about the volcanoes at the visitors’ center.
