    What to Expect from Airbnbs in Lanzarote

    One of Spain’s most beautiful and tranquil destinations, Lanzarote is a far cry from the bustling city of Madrid and cosmopolitan Barcelona. As one of the 13 Canary Islands, Lanzarote is located in the Atlantic Ocean. It boasts subtropical temperatures and spectacular beaches that makes it one of the most desired destinations in Europe for tourism.

    Finding the best Airbnb in Lanzarote can be a bit of a challenge, and to ensure that you save time and your hard-earned money, I have come up with a list of the wide array of vacation rental types you can find on the island.

    There are a lot of different types of Airbnbs in Lanzarote, and if you’re on a budget, it’s a good thing to choose the cheaper parts of Lanzarote where there is a variety of more affordable accommodations. One thing I noticed is that there aren’t many homestays in Lanzarote, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t mingle and get to know locals during your Lanzarote vacation.

    Lanzarote Spain

    Entire Apartments

    If you want privacy or don’t want to share common spaces with other travelers, apartments are one of the best options as they come as an entire rental unit.

    Apartments in Lanzarote are reasonably priced and tastefully decorated. If you have a bigger budget to spend, there are options that come with private pools and fully-equipped kitchens which will allow you to save money on meals, if you have the energy to prepare them yourself.

    If you choose to prepare your meals, make sure that you book the best Airbnb in Lanzarote close by to local markets and groceries so you can get fresh produce every day. Do keep in mind that some apartments have shared spaces such as pools and other exterior areas, so make sure to check this out before booking.

    Luxurious Villas

    If money is not an issue for you, there are plenty of beachfront villas with large private pools, Jacuzzis, gyms, and more! You can get to enjoy opulent interiors, top-notch entertainment systems, and huge terraces where you can watch the stunning sunsets. Ideal for large families and groups of friends, space is never going to be an issue in a villa.

    Because most villas are located in exclusive communities away from the local markets, the airport, and other places of interest, it would make sense to check with your host if they can arrange a car service for you to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Luckily, most villas come with free parking.

    Entire Homes

    Lanzarote has plenty of wonderful and spacious homes for travelers in a group. Some that are more expensive, come with luxurious extras such as private pools.

    Homes make good sense for those who want to save money on meals by preparing their own food. Mostly fitted with fully-equipped kitchen and the latest appliances, you can easily and quickly prepare a variety of dishes. Homes are clean and are in very good condition, some come with free parking. 

    Remember to always check on the details to make sure that you are getting exactly what you need.

    Why Stay in an Airbnb

    If you have never stayed in a vacation rental before, here are a reasons why you should try it out!

    • Affordability: If you want to get the best bang for your buck, Airbnbs offer you just as much, and oftentimes more, than hotels for the very same price.
    • Local Experience: There are only a few Lanzarote Airbnbs that are managed by companies, most are owned and operated by locals who are more than happy to share insider tips to travelers who want a unique experience.
    • Unique properties: Who wants to spend an entire vacation living in a nondescript private room with no personality? Why not stay in a quirky, unique, and unusual room! Airbnb has plenty of those to offer.
    • Privacy: It’s always a good thing to meet other like-minded people when on vacation, but sometimes, you just want to have privacy, whether you are traveling by yourself or with other people. An Airbnb in Lanzarote will give you the privacy you need.
    • Staying long-term: If you enjoy your destination so much and decide to stay a bit longer, Airbnb hosts can always set up discounts for longer stays and that’s surely going to make your wallets smile.
