The popularity of Lanzarote as a holiday destination means that it regularly receives over a million visitors a year. The island copes admirably with this influx of temporary residents, with most choosing to stay in one of the three main resorts. Which is where the majority of the best apartments, hotels and villas in Lanzarote are located.
But for visitors who aren’t especially keen to be based in either Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca or Costa Teguise, there is still a good choice of places to stay. As Lanzarote has a great range of holiday villas that can be rented in rural spots and small villages throughout the island. Not to mention, boutique hotels and fincas that offer tranquil and scenic accommodation.
The wild north west coast, for instance, has the Hotelito El Golfo. A small establishment with only nine double rooms, making it an ideal spot for those who want to get away from it all on their holidays in Lanzarote. As apart from an excellent selection of fish restaurants, the village of El Golfo is normally only visited by tourists interested in seeing the green lagoon which bears the same name.
On the eastern coast, close to the capital of Arrecife, the boutique hotel Villa Vik is located in the exclusive enclave of El Cable. Particularly noted for its collection of art and antiques, Villa Vik also has a highly rated a la carte restaurant and fourteen rooms. The five star establishment is based in a modern style building with very private garden areas, housing the heated pool and Jacuzzi.
In the central village of Oasis de Nazaret, travellers who have a taste for Hollywood can stay in the former home of Omar Sharif. A holiday apartment has been created from the actor’s previously private residence, which enjoys amazing views due its elevated location. The house is now a museum, set within an intricate maze of gardens, caves and tunnels. All of which can be sampled by guests who choose to stay in this most unique of Lanzarote apartments.
And for those who prefer a slice of the city, there are several hotels in the capital of Arrecife to choose from. Such as the Gran Hotel, located in the only high-rise building on the island, making it something of a landmark for anyone exploring the town. Situated right next to a golden sandy beach, the hotel is a five star establishment with modern style suites and a restaurant on one of its highest floors.
