In addition to the resort's beaches and set just outside Playa Blanca is Lanzarote's best beach the stunning papagayo beach.
A picturesque promenade runs the length of the beach front and is lined with bars and restaurants. Visitors can enjoy refreshing drinks on the terraces and enjoy spectacular sea views.

Evenings are also a good time to visit the Marina area as there are several good restaurants and bars.
