We spent a wonderful ten days in playa Blanca in the wonderful island of Lanzarote in August. It was our first time to visit the island. We hired a car and explored every inch of the island. There are so many hidden gens in Playa Blanca - the marina, beaches, people !!!! We stayed in the newer part which was great

Excellent area town/ village very clean & well kept. Lovely walks along the pathway & it seems to me to best very safe. I would nearly go back for the food in Restaurante Tipico Espanol

Just a great place to relax and enjoy the sunshine 🌞 it's the end of November, going into December and it's 23 and sunny/ cloudy. Perfect weather 👌 Playa blanca is pretty quite and good for relaxing, but with stuff to do. Not for the young or young families, they'll be bored. It's easy to drive over here, but taxis are available and buses 🚌 seem regular. If you're looking for a beach/ prom/walking holiday with loads of seaside views. This is the place for you.

Visited here twice so far and not quite sure what to make of it. Nice enough seaside town with lots of shops and restaurants. But didn't quite grab us as much as Playa Del Carmen.

So from first timers to Playa Blanca of a certain age, this review may help others considering PB. If you’re a regular then don’t bother to criticise. We loved the area and just walked either side of the Princess Yaiza where we stayed. Ate at several different restaurants but love the Volcan for value, atmosphere and friendly staff. Marina Rubicon is a great area of shops, restaurants and views of lovely yachts (can’t beat a coffee or drink on a lively Marina). The hotel was great with friendly , attentive staff but balconies on C wing don’t get as much sun as the other side D. Some completely obscured by palms. Also kids pools are that side so a bit noisier but who doesn’t like youngsters having a good time? Breakfast buffet was excellent. There two to choose from (plus an a la Carte). We didn’t eat other meals at the hotel. Two restaurants were closed for refurbishment but look close to reopening. The only criticism is that the very useful mini kitchen area with sink , full size fridge and microwave was not equipped with any crockery, cutlery or drying/ washing cloths which seemed bizarre. We took plates and knives from the buffet which they were quite happy with. There is a coffee maker with pods and a kettle and small cups/ saucers and tumblers but no wine glasses. In house entertainment was poor. Pools seemed heated but we didn’t use them. They were well kept and plenty of sunbeds with brollys but they are fixed , so could not be moved to your bed. The promenade is great, well maintained and right outside the hotel back gates. We took the ferry to Carrelejo and were glad we chose PB. More shops but nowhere near as nice in our opinion. Beach right outside the hotel looked lovely; we are not beach people but looked clean and well stocked with sunbeds and brollys. The weather was windy and cloudy on arrival on Jan 23rd but improved all week. Today -29th- is 24c with almost no wind. Perfect. So calm the world foil windsurfing championships could not start today as planned due to lack of wind! Hope you like PB as much as we did.

The weather here is fantastic. We've been told that the island is sunny, pretty much all year. Here we are in early February and it is in the 20's. There is a promenade from the old castle to the light house at the other end of the bay. There is also a local volcano (extinct) that you can walk up. Once at the top you walk around the central circle of the volcanic centre. If you come up here, be careful because it is extremely windy, and if you have a hat you may lose it. I made a mistake of wearing a shirt and the pills kept hitting me in the face, this is a T-shirt day.

Too busy for me I prefer the more local and quieter areas near Ariciffe. Great weather in February . Not enough paved roads for cycling so had to take up gravel riding on the many dirt roads . Too busy to cycle along the prom !

Amazing place, lovely hotels. I absolutely loved staying here, at Palmeras Gardens. Some of the drivers are slightly vicious but it's a great place for families. Great for people who love sports, or would like to hire bicycles or go diving. You can go on a submarine or a camel ride, it's brilliant. Lots of pretty beaches and adventures, good for everyone.

From Puerto del Carmen, the road to Playa Blanca crosses the mountains. The winding descent is exhilarating for me as the driver. Beautiful views of the mountains, curvy road, the valley below and the Atlantic Coast beyond. The area flanking the beach with shops, restaurants and accommodations is hopping. Nearby is a resort that is likely 5 star.

For anybody looking for a thoroughly enjoyable day at sea should check out chartercanarias.com They are a super personable group who set up great trips on the ocean on one of their catamarans. From the minute you step on board you are greeted by a very professional captain and 1st mate who leave no stone unturned... They have everything needed for all levels of swimming abilities,with life vests if required. Once you set sail you are brought all along the coast as you head to Papagayo, all the time you're given a brief history of the area which is very interesting as a side point. When you anchor you are given the chance to swim off the back of the Catatmaran where the crew provide snorkeling equipment and floats for people to enjoy a float in the sea...for the daredevil they allow the opportunity to dive off the side which is quite an enjoyable experience depending on your age.... while you swim the crew then put on a spread of hams,cheese and bread with the odd beer or glass of cava thrown in to wash everything down... When finished you set sail for home where you get the opportunity to drive the Catamaran. So to finish please check the website out you won't be disappointed.
