Hotel Location
Situated just 10 minutes from Arrecife airport on the southern coast of Lanzarote, the Puerto del Carmen is a popular destination for a number of reasons including excellent beaches and the variety of outdoor activities available. All of the beaches in Puerto del Carmen have been awarded the Blue Flag for their cleanliness making them the perfect place to enjoy the sun even with children and the tranquil waters are an excellent place to go swimming as well as water activities such as snorkelling and diving.
The resort centre is also an excellent place to go shopping having developed much since its original days as a small fishing village it now offers a wide variety of shops such as the more tourist focused outlets found around the Beach Avenue or for a more upmarket shopping experience you can try the new Biosfera shopping complex.
Puerto del Carmen is also worth noting for its two festivals that attract visitors from all over Europe, with the Carnival taking place during February and in the summer months there is the Fiesta del Carmen with a variety of entertainment where visitors and locals alike admire the folklore performances, singing and dancing that takes place throughout the night.
