Feel The Heat In A Lanzarote Villa
By CruiseDirector | February 28, 2010
Instead of turning the heating up, why not look at where you could go for a week of winter sun and book a holiday? With the imminent return of freezing temperatures, many in the UK will be at the end of their tether with the coldest winter for twenty years. The downturn in tourism over recent years is also another reason for grabbing yourself a holiday bargain, and although Lanzarote has been less affected than other destinations there are still some great deals around.
But where at this time of the year is a good bet for sunshine? Within Europe there is only one place that reliably offers decent weather throughout the year and that is the Canary Islands. Not strictly in Europe at all, they are included within the borders of EU as an autonomous region of Spain.
Of the Canaries, it is Lanzarote that usually has the driest climate, given its close proximity to the north African coast and the low-lying nature of the island. With no mountains over 700 metres, rainfall is kept to a minimum, falling on average only twenty days a year. The intense heat of mainland Spain is tempered by breezes straight off the Atlantic.
The range of Lanzarote villas and apartments in Lanzarote available will always astound many of the visitors to the island.
As a result, the mild climate, fairly constant sunshine and reasonable flying times have seen the island’s popularity increase over the years. And the infrastructure of the main resorts has been developed to continue to meet this demand. With a great range of accommodation in Lanzarote, there is something to suit every style of holidaymaker.
So its resorts couldn’t be further from those of Los Cristianos or Maspalomas. There are no skyscrapers and no advertising hoardings, two factors which blight many landscapes. In the coastal towns, where the majority of apartments in Lanzarote are based, there is a uniformity that makes these places pleasant to visit and stay in.
Families, on the other hand, often prefer the more comfortable and spacious alternative of a villa in Lanzarote. A wide choice of this type of property is available to rent, many with great extra features, such as Jacuzzis and air conditioning. Fully equipped kitchens come as standard, allowing more elaborate dining to be an integral part of the holiday.
As a base for exploring what the island has to offer, a villa or apartment is the obvious choice. Each day can be organised exactly as you wish, with none of the drawbacks of hotel dining rooms to negotiate. Combined with a hire car it is the best way to discover somewhere new and ensure that your holiday in Lanzarote is a memorable experience.
