Puerto del Carmen Holidays: Lanzarote Beach Sun
Puerto del Carmen is the best known resort on Lanzarote, in Spain's Canary Islands, and a firm favourite with UK families and couples. Its big draw is year round warmth, golden sandy beaches and an easygoing seafront with plenty to do.
The resort balances relaxed beach days with a lively promenade of bars and restaurants, making it an easy choice whatever time of year you travel.
Where to stay in Puerto del Carmen
Las Costas is a four star seafront hotel set on the Playa de los Pocillos beach in Puerto del Carmen, giving you a comfortable base right by the sand.
Getting there and when to go
Lanzarote has direct flights from many UK airports, with a short transfer to the resort. The big appeal here is the climate, which stays warm and sunny all year, so it works just as well for a winter sun escape as a summer beach week.
Beaches and resorts
Puerto del Carmen has several golden sand beaches with calm, clear water, backed by a long seafront promenade. The main beaches are gently shelving and family friendly, while the resort itself offers a good mix of quieter spots and busier areas.
Food and things to do
The promenade is lined with restaurants serving Spanish, Canarian and international food, plus plenty of relaxed seafront cafes. Beyond the beach you can enjoy swimming, water sports, boat trips and the striking volcanic scenery that makes Lanzarote distinctive.
Who it suits
Puerto del Carmen suits families wanting reliable sun and safe beaches, and couples who like a beach base with a lively seafront and easy dining on the doorstep. It is also a strong winter sun pick.
