The island of Lanzarote is less than four hours flying from the UK. It lies 70 miles off the west coast of Africa. As with the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote is volcanic in origin and has fantastic and dramatic landscapes. Playa Blanca is the most southerly resort on Lanzarote and is perfect for those who are looking for year round sun, sea and sand. Once a small fishing village with a natural harbour, it has now developed into a beautiful resort which has retained its original charm and relaxed atmosphere. From Playa Blanca's seafront there are spectacular views of Fuerteventura, which is a mere 11km by ferry with ferries crossing over to the island several times a day from the main harbour.

The Playa Blanca sea front has a variety of beautiful beaches, notably Playa Dorada, Papagayo (widely held to be some of the best beaches in the Canaries) and Playa Flamingo. Playa Blanca has a relaxed atmosphere suitable for both couples and families alike. There are a large variety of restaurants with excellent quality and very reasonable prices. When you stay at Villa Emilianya we will send you our very own guide to the best restaurants. Playa Blanca has a wonderfully relaxing promenade to amble along and enjoy the atmosphere, observe the beaches, restaurants and shops and which leads to the vibrant and exclusive Marina. A good selection of banks are open Mon-Fri from 8.30 - 2.00pm and Sat 8.30 - 1.00pm. The magnificent Marina Rubicon is just a few minutes by car. It has been built in the style a traditional Lanzarote village with its own church. Within the 450 berth Marina are designer shops, a scuba and sailing school and a growing variety of restaurants and coffee bars, with the market days on Wednesday and Saturday well worth a visit. For tennis fans, the court overlooking the marina is available to book from the petrol kiosk at just a few euros. There can't be many courts with a more beautiful setting than this one.

For scuba diving first timers or experienced PADI divers we commend Rubicon Diving, with great facilities and very helpful and qualified staff. For golfers, there is an 18 hole course on the island at Costa Teguise and one currently commencing construction in Playa Blanca. The small fishing villa of El Golfo with its spectacular waves and landscape is just a short drive away. The fish restaurants here are a must and you are welcomed in to the kitchens to select your catch of the day. Elsewhere, the islands have a fascinating national park, a water park, camel rides and many works to celebrate the work of one of its famous sons, Cesar Manrique, who was a native of the island. All in all, there are many fabulous day trips in Lanzarote.
