Lanzarote Resorts - Puerto Del Carmen

Puerto Del Carmen is the most popular tourist destination in Lanzarote. It offers three different areas, these are the Matagorda, Old Town and New Town which is called Avenida de Las Playas (or better known as the strip).

These 3 areas are very much different to each other but all offer a good amount of bars and restaurants and of course shopping.

Matagorda is closest to the Airport, like the other 2 areas Matagorda has a large amount of bars and restaurants to choose from including it's own centre with a very good selection of restaurants. The beaches in Matagorda are golden and very long but it can get very windy. Matagorda is also the flattest part of Puerto Del Carmen.

The Old Town has managed to keep the look and feel of a old Spanish village. The area is filled with many different bars and Restaurants located over the Old Town, many of which are hidden away and are difficult to find.

The 'Strip' (New Town) as it's more commonly known is around 6km long with an almost unlimited supply of bars, shops and restaurants for you to choose from. Puerto Del Carmen also offers an impressive shopping centre called the Biosfera which offers 4 floors of shops and bars (with a kids play area to keep them happy).

Puerto Del Carmen is the most popular tourist destination in Lanzarote, situated to the south of Lanzarote. It is attractive for many people because of the long sandy beaches, number of activities available and excellent selection of bars and restaurants. Puerto Del Carmen has a lot to offer all year round due to the warm climate of Lanzarote. Puerto Del Carmen started life as a fishing village and its picturesque harbour at the southern end of the resort is still very much in action, a lovely place to unwind over a drink and watch the fishing boats come and go. If you wander into the square nearby you will see the locals playing boules.

Puerto Del Carmen is the ideal holiday resort for the sun worshipper, with the beautiful Playa Grande beach, as for the night owl who loves dancing and eating and drinking, or the culture vulture. Suitable for couples and families Puerto Del Carmen has something to offer everyone with a wide selection of shops and shopping centres, entertainment halls, restaurants and bars.

If you are interested in staying in Puerto del Carmen then why not browse through our Puerto del Carmen hotels and Apartments section where you have the ability to book cheap apartments or hotels online.

Like others- we visit Lanzarote many times and ALWAYS go back to Mammacarla restaurant for 2 visits. We do tour the island, and experience other places and cuisines- but have found in terms of people, food, ambience and quality- this is very highly rated, Situated in Puerto del Carmen, the restaurant is down biosfera center . Daily specials, home cooked food, pizza and pasta. Extensive wine list and authentically Italian. Excellent value for money and the owners could not be more welcoming. Please visit and try for yourself. this mamma carla is a very good place

We were recommended to go to Los Hervideros by people who were frequent visitors to Playa Blanca. The restaurant is not on the sea front but is in Calle el Marisco which is north of the Avenida de Papagayo - it is close to where the "river" (in a culvert) flows down to the beach. Four of us made reservations for the final evening of our vacation. The whole experience was great - a nice clean restaurant, with friendly service and excellent, good value food. Three of us had steaks and one a fish dish - all first class. The meal with wine/beer cost Euro 60 (plus tip). This was the least expensive and by far the best meal that we had during our week's stay. The restaurant has some fascinating photos of Playa Blanca from the air taken in the 1960s - take a look and see if you can recognise it. It has grown a bit since then!

I find it very suspicious that all the reviews for that italian restaurant are in semi broken english and they all have a very italian way of speaking.Very very suspicious and any inclination i would have had of visiting there has gone.Give it up Mamma Carla.

We visited MAMMACARLA 3 times during our week's stay in Puerto as each time we saw something else that we wanted to try next time. The chef are very friendly and passionate about creating authentic pasta dishes and make about four kind of pasta each day to choose from. There's another Restaurant in Puerto del Carmen Trattoria verona very good, but we spent many more Euros there. These Italian restaurant are definitely worth a visit or three- you won't be disappointed. Even the locals believe that two restauranat MammaCarla and trattoria verona are the best in town.
