Puerto Del Carmen

Villas in Puerto del Carmen

Puerto del Carmen is the largest resort on Lanzarote, centred around 3 beaches of golden sand and stretching along 4 continuous miles. At its centre is the main beach, Playa Grande, backed by a promenade offering everything you could possibly need on your Puerto del Carmen villa holiday. This main strip has souvenir shops, restaurants and bars overlooking the sea, mini markets and plenty of outlets for booking excursions and watersports. One end of the strip concludes in the Old Town and Harbour, which has its own small beach, Playa Chica, popular with snorkellers. This section of the resort is home to some atmospheric restaurants with great seafood options and views of the boats. At the opposite end is the largest of the 3 beaches, Playa Pocillos, much loved by windsurfers. After dark, the resort may be better suited to young people, but Puerto del Carmen also has a lot to offer to families, from animal parks to watersports and go-karting.
