About Puerto del Carmen
Puerto del Carmen is Lanzarote's main tourist town, part of the Tías municipality, strung along the Avenida de las Playas, a promenade of around 7 km with beaches on one side and bars, restaurants and shops on the other. The beaches are sand, which is unusual on this island, and more sheltered than the north and west coasts: Playa Grande is the main one, and Los Pocillos at the east end is broader. The old harbour is the historic core, low-rise and whitewashed, with a smaller choice of restaurants and bars looking over the water. Playa Chica has more than ten dive sites. Evenings mean the strip's bars and live music. Our homes are close together in the resort, mostly for two or three people.

Puerto del Carmen villa holidays: questions answered
Are there large villas to rent in Puerto del Carmen?
Very few. Most homes we list here have one bedroom and sleep two or three, though most do have a pool. Only one sleeps eight, so larger groups should book early or look at Playa Blanca, which has more choice.
Is Puerto del Carmen good for diving?
Yes, it is the island's diving base. More than a dozen dive shops work from the town, Playa Chica has over ten sites with shore and boat dives, and visibility averages over 25 metres.
Is Puerto del Carmen busy at night?
On the strip, yes. The Avenida de las Playas is lined with bars, restaurants and sports bars, some with live music. The old harbour is quieter, with fewer restaurants and bars, most of them looking over the water.
Puerto del Carmen or Playa Blanca for a villa rental in Lanzarote?
Pick Puerto del Carmen for long sandy beaches, restaurants on foot and a short airport transfer. Playa Blanca, around 25 minutes away at the island's southern tip, has more villas and the ferry to Fuerteventura.
