Originally a quiet fishing village, Playa Blanca has become an increasingly popular beach destination, perfect for couples as well as families in search of a tranquil atmosphere and a selection of more upscale hotels and resorts than in some other parts of the island. Lanzarote's southernmost town, Playa Blanca has a large yacht marina and striking stretches of white sand, ideal for soaking up the sunshine on both land and sea. Accommodation options are appealingly varied, too, with the best places to stay in Playa Blanca ranging from former private residences to glamorous beach resorts.
Facing the ocean, Playa Blanca has boomed in the last decade, transformed from a seaside village to a bustling resort town with the cafés and restaurants to match. Many of these are dotted along the seafront walkway, which connects the old town to the impressive Marina Rubicon — one of the largest ports on the Canary Islands — as well as to the many beaches which line the coast.
Set within the town, Playa Blanca is the smallest of the area’s beaches and the quietest, whilst nearby Playa Dorada promises calm waters for relaxed swims and a lively buzz with water sports aplenty. Nature lovers will adore discovering the beautiful Papagayo Nature Reserve, clambering up Montaña Roja or seeing the unusual Atlantic Underwater Museum, a sculpture park encouraging the growth of marine life. Within easy reach of the best places to stay in Playa Blanca, this is one not to miss!
