ABOUT PLAYA BLANCA

Playa Blanca is situated on the southern tip of the island , approximately a 40 minute drive from the airport . It benefits from the best weather on the island and superb views over the straits of La Bocaina to Fuerteventura .

The resort is expanding along the coast but the buildings are mainly high quality villas and hotels...no concrete jungle here ! The village centre has been much improved of late by the pedestrianisation and landscaping of the main thoroughfare plus the opening of many quality shops and restaurants . The origins of the fishing village it once was are still in evidence and provide the resort with a heart and character . The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed with the focus on the nightlife being in the restaurants , local bars or hotels . Children are welcomed everywhere and entertainment is provided for them in the evening in the hotels . Daytime activities are usually centered around the beach , the pool or a variety of boat trips which can be taken from the harbor . Ferries leave regularly throughout the day across to Fuerteventura and the crossing takes approximately 40 minutes . Cruise ships occasionally anchor just outside the harbor for the day , as part of their itinerary .
