The current economic doom and gloom means that some holiday makers will be staying at home this year. Rather than enjoying a sunshine break abroad. And whilst no destination is immune many, such as Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, will still be attracting a sizeable amount of arrivals. Despite the weak pound and economic climate.
This is great news for the tourists visiting the island as there are some great deals to be had on Lanzarote holiday villas and Lanzarote apartments.
Last year Lanzarote welcomed just over 1.5 million tourists. But this figure is sure to fall during 2009. As arrivals have already dropped by around 20%, during the first quarter of this year, according to AENA, the Spanish airport authority. But for many in the UK and Eire a domestic break can be just as expensive, if not more so. And still offers no real guarantee of sunshine.
Self catering holidays on islands such as Lanzarote can in fact work out to be very affordable. The cost of a weeks stay in many Lanzarote apartments for example starts at around €170 per week. And this is the price per room, rather than per person. Those looking for a really good accommodation deal should search for apartments in Puerto del Carmen. As Lanzarote´s biggest resort offers the largest range of choice, boasting hundreds of complexes.
The bulk of these tend to be located in the New Town area. Usually in close proximity to the beach (within ten minutes walking distance) and all of the other amenities of the resort. Puerto del Carmen has also enjoyed a makeover in the last twelve months. And now boasts a smart new beachfront promenade and an upmarket marina in the Old Town harbour area. So further enhancing the resorts appeal.
For those who prefer more space and a private pool there are lots of good quality Lanzarote villas available for rent in all locations right across the island.Expect to pay from €400 upwards for a standard two bedroom villa with swimming pool. With many owners offering deals on their villas in Playa Blanca for early bookings. As competition for business intensifies in the islands southernmost resort due to an over supply of property there.
Playa Blanca is an ideal location for a break in the sun. Not least as it enjoys the best microclimate on the island. And is also home to some of Lanzarote´s finest beaches – such as the set of coves at Papagayo, which are just fifteen minutes walk from the town centre. Along with Playa Dorada and Playa Flamingo in the heart of the resort itself.
Visitors to the Canary Islands will get a warm welcome and have a fantastic holiday regardless of their choice of destination.
