Places of interest

In and around Playa Blanca, you’ll find places like the Papagayo Beaches (playas del Papagayo) and the Los Ajaches Natural Area. Very close to the town, you’ll find La Geria, an extra-terrestrial landscape, composed of volcanic ash, which is the foundation for one of the best wineries in Lanzarote.

Also nearby, less than 15km to the south of Playa Blanca, are Los Hervideros, vertical cliffs where nature has created a spectacular sight. To the north of the town, you will find other spots like the Salinas de Janubio and the Charco de los Clicos lagoon.

Beaches

Playa Blanca’s beaches are simply spectacular. They spread throughout the south of Lanzarote, and the highlight is definitely the Papagayo Beaches (Playas del Papagayo) – a series of small unspoilt golden sand beaches in a protected natural area. Although they’re not exactly in Playa Blanca, they are very close and are just a few minutes by car.

Within the town you can find Playa Flamingo, with golden sands, a promenade, and well-equipped; Playa Blanca Beach, right in the town centre; and Playa Dorada, quite popular and very busy, with clear waters and beach bars.

Nightlife

The nightlife is blessed by lovely temperatures and very light wind and takes place in the surroundings of the marina. There are pubs and clubs, as well as bars with live music and terraces where you can have a drink by the Atlantic Ocean.

It’s one of the nightlife hotspots in Lanzarote, with much of it happening inside the hotels themselves.
