Costa Teguise is a quiet and fairly relaxed resort catering for all markets. As well as the main stretch of sandy beach, there are also many smaller coves along the coast line.

Puerto Del Carmen is the largest and the busiest resort on the island, boasting a virtually unbroken 6km worth of sandy beach. There are many things to keep you active in Puerto Del Carmen including the old town's harbor which is host to waterside fish restaurants and tapas bars. What's more not fare away is Biosphere, a shopping mall jammed packed with smart boutiques - something for everybody. As night falls Puerto Del Carmen really comes to life with restaurants, bars and night clubs all opening till late. It is definitely Lanzarote's biggest and liveliest holiday resort.

Puerto Calero is not a typical tourist area, Puerto Calero has a small promenade/water front along the marina area. There is a small collection of shops mainly designer and surfing wear. Within the resort you will find a good selection of restaurants, cafes and bars. This is the resort to sit, relax and 'watch the world go by'. Very quiet but scenic.
