The popular destination of Lanzarote in the Canaries is an ideal year round holiday choice as the sun rarely stops shining on this small speck of Spain, which is located off the coast of the Western Sahara, with the mercury reaching 20 Celsius even during the depths of winter.

As a result this small volcanic island has become a big hit with tourists.  Last year alone for example more than 1.5 million foreign visitors touched down at the islands sole international airport of Arrecife. Whilst the credit crunch and weak pound is expected to take its toll on the islands holiday industry this year Lanzarote still expects to attract over one million visitors in 2009.

In fact the island has been welcoming intrepid tourists since the Victorian days of empire but since the 1970´s this trickle has become a flood, creating demand for good quality holiday accommodation, around 40% of which is accounted for by the island’s hotels.  Many of the visitors from the UK and Eire prefer to create their own holidays and book their flights and accommodation direct online.

Consequently, demand for good quality villa accommodation is high and rental properties are available in all of the three main resorts of Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca as well as in outlying rural areas such as Oasis de Nazaret and Arrieta.

The islands southern-most resort of Playa Blanca is home to the largest selection of holiday villas on the island thanks to the fact that this type of accommodation was at the core of the blueprint when the resort was first developed during the 1980´s. As a result there are now hundreds of villas in Playa Blanca for visitors to choose from.  Most of which boast private pools, great views and all of the mod cons you´d expect with prices starting from as little as €450 per week for a party of four.

Demand for character properties in Lanzarote´s volcanic countryside is also on the up as an increasing number of return visitors seek to connect with the authentic Lanzarote away from the main holiday resorts.

The small village of Haria in the north of the island is located in the aptly named Valley of 1000 Palms and is home to Finca La Crucita. A delightful rural complex of eight individual villas all named after a village on the island and decorated in traditional rustic style.
