Puerto del Carmen is the longest established and probably best-known resort town on the island of Lanzarote. Here you will find everything from beachside restaurants to casinos and some of the most impressive luxury private villas in Lanzarote. Nestled on the coast in the southern central part of the island, it is just a short drive from Arrecife airport and makes for a most convenient place for exploring the rest of the island. A classic favourite for holiday makers, with colourful umbrellas, golden sand and bright blue sea, families and sun worshipers flock to this resort for the all year round warm weather.

Things to do in Puerto del Carmen

Anything is possible when you're on holiday in Puerto del Carmen. Known as ‘The European Sports Destination’ there are so many different sports you can try, including scuba diving, windsurfing, kite surfing, stand-up paddle board, go-karting, mountain biking, trekking, parascending and even abseiling down the face of a dam. There are also plenty of shopping opportunities available here, whether you are looking for a typical tourist souvenir found on the main Beach Avenue or if you fancy something a bit more upmarket in the Biosfera shopping complex. Everything is available to be purchased, from duty free electronics equipment, local arts and crafts through to luxury designer clothes and shoes. Puerto del Carmen is home to sandy beaches such as Playa Grande and Matagorda, known for its steady breeze.
