Playa Blanca is located at the most Southerly tip of the island, 18 miles SW of Puerto del Carmen, 26 miles SW of Arrecife, 21 miles SW of Arrecife airport.

The tranquil fishing village of Playa Blanca is situated on the southern tip of the island which takes its name from the white sands of its sun-drenched beaches. Like other places on the island, this quiet unspoiled resort has been sympathetically developed so that the centre of the town has retained much of its original fishing village charm. There is a large selection of shops and supermarkets and many excellent restaurants.

Playa Blanca also boasts some superb very shallow beaches which are perfect for small children. In addition, the Papagayo beaches, which are some of the most beautiful in the Canaries, are only a few minutes drive away. Playa Blanca is the quietest, warmest and flattest of the three principle resorts on Lanzarote and is therefore particularly attractive to slightly older visitors and the very youngest
