puerto del carmen holidays
thankfully free from high-rise development
Take your pick from a big choice of Puerto del Carmen holidays with the help of The Co-operative Travel.
The longest established — and probably best known — resort on Lanzarote, Puerto del Carmen has everything from beachside arcades to casinos and luxury private villas.
Set on the central part of the island’s southern coast, it has grown well beyond its fishing village origins and now extends along four miles of golden, sandy coastline. But due to the region’s tight planning restrictions, it is thankfully free from high-rise development.
The cleanliness of that length of beach is recognised by the award of EU Blue Flag status, and the clear Atlantic water makes it ideal for swimming and other water sports.

shopping, eating out and nightlife in puerto del carmen
Shopping in Puerto del Carmen is cosmopolitan, and the new Biosfera shopping centre reflects the resort’s prosperity, helped in large part by the island’s duty-free status which makes designer clothes and shoes, electronic goods and locally-produced crafts particularly attractive souvenirs.
For eating out, explore the old harbour area, where you’ll be able to sample many specialities featuring the locally-caught fish. Elsewhere you’ll find outlets catering for every taste and budget, with easily more than enough for you to sample something different every day of your Puerto del Carmen holiday.
At night-time, a stroll along the seafront will also spoil you for choice for food, drinks and entertainment, and your evening can stretch well into the early hours at one of the many late-night bars and clubs.
A Puerto del Carmen package holiday from The Co-operative Travel is guaranteed to give you a pleasant dilemma – just how many of its varied attractions will you be able to take in during your stay?
