Lanzarote in the Canary Islands is a hugely popular winter holiday destination.  Thanks to the fact that it enjoys great weather during the depths of December and January.  Due to its location off the coast of Morocco.  Whilst at the same time is close enough to major markets such as the UK to attract tourists in large numbers.

Indeed flights to Lanzarote from the UK take just four hours.  And have never been cheaper.  Thanks to the introduction of low cost fares by airlines such as Ryanair and easy Jet.  Making a winter break on the island more affordable than ever for British tourists.  Who last year accounted for around 800,000 arrivals on the island.

Places To Stay

There are plenty of accommodation options for anyone planning a holiday on the island during the winter months.  With something for all tastes and budgets.

The best hotels in Lanzarote can be found in the southern resort of Playa Blanca.  Which also enjoys the best weather during the winter months.  Here tourists can book good value four star accommodation in establishments such as the Princesa Yaiza and the Timanfaya Palace from as little as €60 per night.  Which is the cost per room and not per person. Alternatively there’s also a big selection of villas in Playa Blanca for rent too.  With prices starting from around €500 per week.  (more…)
