Bedrooms 1&3, Lounge and Kitchen doors all lead to the pool area, making it the central point of the villa and (plus making it easy to keep an eye on the kids, should you need to). Capturing the sun all day, the area is complete with sun loungers for 6 people and a shaded outdoor area by the poolside. Colourful night lighting adds the final touch to your day, should you want to take a late-night dip or stay home to eat, drink and relax.

There is also a printer for any last minute boarding passes etc should you prefer paper versions. There is a small library of books from us and our previous guests - feel free to swap one! You'll also find a portable Bluetooth speaker, so you can be in charge of the poolside / dinnertime soundtrack.

Kitchen & Dining:
The kitchen is very well equipped, offering an Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Tassimo Coffee Machine, Kettle, Toaster, Blender, Juicer and of course all the expected Utensils and Crockery. Dine inside or out on each of the 6-seater wooden tables.

Should anything additional be required during your stay, our on-call property managers, Graham and Gail will do their best to ensure everything is just right for you. The villa is within a private, key-coded, gated community with CCTV, contains electronic safes and is protected by a Securitas alarm and intercom system.

Perfect for holidays for between 2 and 6 people where you can relax and have fun by your own private pool in the sunshine all day, or exploring the various and unique attractions of this volcanic island before heading into Playa Blanca in the evenings to enjoy fine dining and drinking along the shoreline and marina. Ideal for families with babies, children or teenagers, as well as for groups of friends looking for sunshine all year round.

For nearby attractions, there are 2 waterparks within 15 mins walking distance, as well as Montana Roja itself, which makes for a great hike which takes around 1.5h and has stunning views over Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and the Atlantic Ocean. For cardio enthusiasts, a lap or 2 jogging around the crater makes for a unique workout! Activities like Mini Golf, Jet Ski Rental, Parasailing, Banana Boating, Beach Bars, Karaoke and Night Spots etc are all within short taxi ride, at Playa Dorada beach.

Taxis can be called directly to the villa (usually arriving within 2 minutes!), or the taxi rank is located 5 mins away. Taxis are cheap and highly available (around €4-5 gets you in to the centre). For those who prefer to walk. The selection of bars and restaurants along the promenade under tropical palm trees makes it idyllic, day or night.

For additional info, please use the Contact Host option and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have :)

Additional Notes:
- Although we try to keep photos as up to date as possible, we regularly make improvements to furniture and decor which may slightly differ.
- During the busy summer months we primarily let the villa on a Thursday to Thursday basis to align with the majority of flights.

30 night stay

Villa, pool and garden area all fine. However, next to a very noisy road which took away the pleasure of spending the day by the pool. Spacious villaand comfy beds.With a long stay we would have liked there to have been a weekly clean alongside the linen and towel change .Good communication with the owners.

Christmas stay

Nice spacious villa, clean & tidy on arrival. Hosts responded quickly with my inquiries. The pool could have been warmer, to cold for us & would have liked clean bedding in our 10 day stay. I would recommend hiring a car especially with young children or for anyone who has mobility issues, we found the taxi service unreliable & very long waiting times.overall stay was pleasant,

Lanzarote first timers

The property is within walking distance of beach and restaurant, just! We didn’t use busses as we hired a car but there were bus stops nearby. As first timers to Lanzarote we didn’t know for sure which area suited us… The villa at playa Blanca was in a quiet setting not far from restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the area and villa very much. Getting around the island was a doddle in hire car. Must sees was the volcanos and lava tunnels

Excellent villa

The photos of the villa do not do it justice it is Much bigger than it looks in the pictures. It was spotlessly clean on our arrival. Dory the villa manager was excellent she was always on hand if we had any questions. One of the shower drains got blocked and was fixed within an hr. The pool was superb. The only fault that we found was the pillows they were to small and to soft this didn’t stop us from having a good night sleep. The complex was very quiet and clean. The pool man came out 3 times to clean the pool he was such a lovely man hope to meet him next time. One tip if you get poorly and need to attend a clinic make sure it’s not a private one, I had an ear infection and the pharmacist sent me to a clinic, thinking it was covered with my EHIC card I had antibiotic injection and anti inflammatory injection was then told it was a private clinic and charged me 1,200 euros I nearly fell of the bed there were no signs in English or Spanish to say it was private hoping my insurance will cover it but not holding my breath. If you are thinking of a villa holiday in Lanzarote I recommend John and Maureen’s villa 100% had a fabulous two weeks at the villa we will be back

Nice villa. Needs some TLC

We had a few issues on arrival which were not dealt with very well. Outside space, sunbeds, pool, table chairs and seat pads all needed good clean after bad weather ( calima) after a number of e mails to the owner the pool man and gardener were sent. However there was no offer to send someone to clean outside and the equipment noted above, we had to do this ourselves. Bad first impression. Once we had washed and cleaned and made the outside space usable, we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect quiet location for a week of relaxing. Lovely villa inside and out. Nice to have the Red Mountain so close for a walk, easy access to Playa Blanca either on foot or by (cheap) taxi, and we took every opportunity to enjoy the local fish in the lovely restaurants. An excellent getaway, hope to be returning soon

Lovely villa

It was a very enjoyable stay - a great villa which I would recommend staying in. The pool was a bit cold and with leaves but that was quickly resolved thanks to the maintenance staff. The only main problem was with the bathrooms - in one, the shower wasn’t working properly and in one, the water heater was noisy so we had trouble getting to sleep until the noise would stop. However, despite the small problems, the villa was spacious and clean as expected and so overall I give it 4/5!

Oase onder de vulkaan

Heerlijk relaxed, mooi ruim huis, tuin en zwembad. Sanitair vraagt wel een beetje om een update. Maar met z’n tweeën 3 badkamers gaat prima. Van uit het huis kun je de vulkaan oplopen. Vanwaar een fantastisch uitzicht. Goede bedden en een fijne keuken. Van de koffiemachine hebben we in de winkel geen cups kunnen vinden. Alarm installatie in Spaans met camera’s heb ik als hinderlijk ervaren. Verder is het een prima uitvalsbasis waarvan we wel genoten hebben

Amazing Holiday

What can I say, first time in a villa for us and it won’t be the last. The instructions from the owners were perfect and we arrived smoothly. Pool amazing, cleaned twice a week during our stay, linen changed once. It is about 20 min walk to Playa Flamingo beach and then 10 min further to some bars and restaurants then 5 mins to the beginning of the promenade. Literally a little supermarket 5 mins from the villa. Graham and Gail amazing, really friendly and helpful. We will be booking again for next year as it was perfect for us and our teenagers who lived in the pool for 2 weeks.

About the host

Hosted by John and Maureen Barron

Host profile image
Hi! We are John & Maureen, a couple from Fleetwood, UK who out of all the places we've visited think Playa Blanca is one of the nicest!

We fell in love with the Canary Islands years ago and try and get out to Lanzarote as much as possible each year with friends and family. We have two children, who although old enough to holiday with their friends still enjoy coming out with us (for now!)

Why they chose this property

We love Playa Blanca as it has everything we've ever looked for in a holiday, as many of our guests agree!

The area the villa is situated is perfect for us. Everything we need is walkable or via a cheap taxi ride away. Attractions like waterparks (yes, plural) and the beach are also within walking distance, whilst far enough away that there's no disturbance when you want to relax with a book.

The stroll back to the villa down the promenade at night is our favourite way to end any day in Lanzarote, be it relaxing, busy... or tipsy.

What makes this property unique

Tranquility and privacy.
Relaxation is made so simple when you have the feeling of a world of your own. The vila and outdoor spaces aren't overlooked by anyone else, as well as being distant from any other villas in the gated, quiet community.

Additionally, our property managers, Graham and Gail run our villa for us as we are mainly located in sunny England. They are on call to help you with anything you might need during your stay. We frequently receive positive comments from guests about them as they do a fantastic job of keeping everything just perfect for our guests.
