Best Beaches

Puerto del Carmen is an ideal choice for those craving a beach break. The region boasts a multitude of glorious sandy coasts to choose from.

Playa Grande lives up to its name which means large beach. This expansive stretch of golden sands is an epitome of tranquillity. This beach is fringed by a vibrant promenade dotted with palm trees, providing a venue for numerous cafes, eateries, and pubs.

Playa de los Pocillos is a charming Blue Flag-accredited coast stretches over a kilometre, offering ample room to unwind on a sun lounger and relish a day basking in the sunlight. Its kid-friendly ambience, complete with a children’s play area, a miniature golf course, and several ice cream parlours, makes it a popular spot among families.

Despite being a tiny, hidden gem, Playa Chica never fails to entice both tourists and locals. With its golden sandy surface and secure swimming conditions, it's an ideal spot for a relaxing day by the sea. The marine-rich waters add to its allure, so don't forget to bring your snorkelling gear.

Relaxing Beaches

Puerto del Carmen might be Lanzarote's most frequented resort, yet it offers numerous hidden corners where you can relish the sun during your vacation.

Playa El Barranquillo is an unexplored marvel is among Puerto del Carmen's tinier coasts. Seek this place for serenity, and a refreshing plunge in the ocean. Its proximity to Avenida de las Playas, an avenue teeming with bars and eateries, makes it a favourable spot for couples.

Grab a sun lounger and bask in the gentle maritime zephyr at Matagorda’s sandy expanse. Being one of Puerto del Carmen's more serene Blue Flag beaches, it's an ideal setting for leisurely relaxation. Situated in the heart of the capital, Arrecife, and a mere 15 minutes from Puerto del Carmen, this beach maintains a surprisingly quiet atmosphere despite its central location. With its fine golden sands, placid waters, and lofty coconut trees, it offers a paradisiacal retreat.

Just over 20 minutes away in Costa Teguise is Playa del Jablillo. This serene coast is ideal for a day-long excursion. Its breakwater ensures calm waters and a secure place to swim, making it a favourite among families. Whether you wish to unwind on the beach or explore the vibrant aquatic life with a snorkelling adventure, this place has it all.

Top Activities 

This island is jam-packed with outdoor activities! 

Explore the lunar-like terrain, the sandy beaches and mud-tracks in a bumpy but exhilarating ride in a 4x4 safari. 

You can also visit the stunning Timanfaya National Park which offers guided walks or camel trips around the volcanic landscape, ideal for the whole family. 

For balmy evenings, the old town in Puerto del Carmen and its charming fishing harbour has a wide variety of delicious restaurants to choose from.

Explore Puerto del Carmen's old town and you'll find lots of stalls and shops selling local crafts and pottery to take home. For those who fancy more serious retail therapy, take a trip to nearby Calle Juan Carlo. Home to the Biosfera Plaza Centre, an uber one-stop destination for designer labels, duty-free goods and clothes.

 Night Time Fun 

What was once a quaint fishing village is now a lively holiday hub with pubs, clubs and bars on almost every street corner. 

The pretty promenade by day doubles up as the main party strip by night, which is a major pull for club 18-30 guests. 

If you're looking for a quieter evening, embark in some beachside chilling at one of the seafront bars where you can listen to live music and watch the sun go down, after all you can always head to one of the many nightclubs later on!

Whatever your age or tastes, there will be something for you in this wonderful resort all year round.
