Your All Inclusive Golf Vacation

Surreal scenery and beautiful beaches.  Lanzarote in the Canary Islands offers the perfect blend of ingredients for a sunshine holiday with a difference.  Basking in great weather all year round Lanzarote can be enjoyed at any time of the year.  And is just a four hour flight from all major airports in the UK.

The island was first subdued by the Spanish crown in the early 1400´s.  Before becoming a strategic asset to the nascent Spanish empire.  As galleons docked and refuelled here whilst transporting Inca silver across the Atlantic from the New World.  Today 250,000 tourists still arrive by ship on board cruise vessels.  With the majority of visitors – around 1.5 million annually - arriving by air. 

Whilst there are places to stay across Lanzarote there are three main tourist resorts on the island; Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca.  Which all boast modern infrastructures and plenty of experience of catering to tourists.  As well as a wide choice of Lanzarote holiday villas, apartments and hotels.

The quality of holiday villas in Lanzarote and also Lanzarote apartments has always been maintained but rising competition has led to existing standards hitting quality levels even higher for the most part.

In the north of the island Costa Teguise is located just ten minutes away from Arrecife airport, Lanzarote´s sole international terminal.  The resort enjoys an open and spacious feel and was first developed during the 1970´s under the aegis of the ubiquitous local artist César Manrique.  Proving very popular with tourists from across sun starved Northern Europe.  Whilst also offering a good selection of accommodation options. 

Puerto del Carmen is located around twenty minutes along the coast from Costa Teguise.  In a slightly more sheltered position that creates better weather conditions during the winter months.  This is the oldest destination on the island – and offers plenty of good value apartment accommodation.  As well as some excellent – if man made – beaches.  Created with the help of imported Saharan sand.

Playa Blanca is the new kid on the block.  Relatively speaking.  Having only first started to evolve after Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise during the 1990´s. 
Playa Blanca is located at the southern end of the island and this position tends to ensure that it enjoys the best of the weather that Lanzarote has to offer.  Playa Blanca also boasts some great accommodation options too – and is home to some of the most upmarket hotels and villas in Lanzarote.
