Compare Playa Blanca hotels

If you’re after a quiet holiday with a touch of class, look no further than Playa Blanca. Overlooked by the dormant Montana Roja volcano, the southernmost town on the island of Lanzarote boasts a Blue Flag beach, stunning views across La Bocaina Strait to Fuerteventura, and a glut of restaurants and cafes serving up delicious local cuisine.

The beauty of Playa Blanca lies in the seafront promenade that stretches from way out west to well beyond Marina Rubicon, in the east of the resort. Traffic noise melts away, replaced by the rhythmic turning of the waves, where the Atlantic meets the island’s uneven shores.

If you’re looking for luxury accommodation in Playa Blanca within easy reach of restaurants and beaches, check out the four and five-star palace hotels that sprawl away from the centre of the resort. Most offer direct access to the seafront promenade, while some even have their own sunbeds and parasols among the rocks beside the sea.

Top-end accommodation in Playa Blanca really does tick all of the boxes. The best hotels are situated within expansive, palm tree-filled grounds, where you’ll usually find a choice of restaurants, swimming pools, places to lounge in style and perhaps even a spa.

Many of the top hotels in Playa Blanca offer all-inclusive stays, though eating out by the sea is both reasonable and the ideal way to round off a day spent in the Spanish sunshine.

Marina Rubicon is a sparkling addition to the resort of Playa Blanca. Sunglasses are required for more than the sky, as snow-white yachts dazzle and polished cutlery twinkles in the sun.

There are a number of upmarket Playa Blanca hotels around the marina, which are perhaps better suited to couples and older families.The lack of a golden, sandy beach plus more expensive dining options than central Playa Blanca might be off-putting for young families.

If you’re fit and active you can easily walk over the hills from the marina area to the nearby beaches of Papagayo, which are famed for their rugged beauty.

Most visitors consider Playa Blanca to be the quietest of Lanzarote’s three main resorts, and perhaps the most upmarket too. Cheap hotels in Playa Blanca are easy to find though, so you won’t be disappointed if you’re looking for a bargain break in the glorious eternal sunshine for which the Canary Islands are renowned.

Cheap Playa Blanca accommodation mostly comes in the form of apartments and bungalows, some of which feature communal pools.

Self-catering packages are widely available and are a great way to save a few more euros during your break, and there are a few well-stocked supermarkets within Playa Blanca for self-catering essentials. Even the smaller stores bake their own bread every day – you won’t be able to resist a crusty bit of pan every time you pop in!
