Playa blanca holidays - Lanzarote

A massive favourite for holidaymakers

Long stretches of Blue Flag-accredited beach, plenty of places to stay, and the feel of a traditional resort that’s in touch with the times make Playa Blanca holidays a top choice with The Co-operative Travel customers.

This spot of the south-western tip of Lanzarote is a massive favourite for holidaymakers looking for a chilled-out break, or for a stretch of coastline rich in opportunities for swimming and watersports.

Three beaches stretch out from Playa Blanca, and the waters are clean and clear. There are still signs of its fishing port origins, and fishermen still land the daily catch which is served up in many of the restaurants, including as the local speciality papas arugadas – potatoes boiled in salted sea water, and usually served with locally landed pan-fried fish.

Twenty miles south-west of Lanzarote’s capital, Arrecife, Playa Blanca is also within easy reach of Timanfaya national park, where the island’s rugged volcanic landscape can be truly appreciated. And you can take a boat trip from Playa Blanca to Fuerteventura if you fancy mixing things up a little.

By day quiet and relaxed, Playa Blanca doesn’t so much shift through the gears at night, as turn on the cruise control. You can eat or sip cocktails alfresco, or just take a quiet stroll along the sea front.

A variety of hotels and apartments are available, and can cater for all your needs, whether you’re on a Playa Blanca package holiday, or all-inclusive holiday.
