Amenities/Facilities provided

Accessibility
This is a duplex villa with the main bathroom and both bedrooms on the first floor and so unfortunately it is not suitable for those unable to climb stairs.

Outside
Villa Mar looks out onto a park of elegant Canarian Palms and exotic Hoopoe birds. The main bedroom has a balcony with panoramic sea views out over the Bocayna Strait to Isla Lobos and the dramatic Fuerteventura skyline. Here you can sit and sip a morning coffee or enjoy a sundowner watching the boats sail in to the marina. This balcony provides shade to the dining area of the patio below where there is a large table, 4 chairs and a parasol. There are 4 sunloungers with different positions for your back and legs, on the spacious terrace beside the pool, with a shower to rinse you before and after that refreshing dip in your own completely private pool! There is a large stone BBQ for you to cook some authentic bbq steaks or fish on, in the canarian garden with it’s pepper and ficus trees and colourful cactus plants set in picon, a volcanic stone which retains moisture.

Coast/Beach
It's just 2 minutes walk to the coastal path with panoramic views where you can sit and look out to sea from the many in built seats, or choose a cliff top or rocky cove to sunbath in. Another 2 mins brings you to a black sand beach. Further to the west are the commercial white sand beaches Playa Dorada, Playa Blanca & Playa Flamingo. But if you like it unspolit, walk or cycle thru a Protected Nature Reserve to Papagayo's soft sand beaches, crystal clear water, set under cliffs with magic views.

Golf
A full golf course is planned for Playa Blanca, meanwhile there is 9 hole golf, krazy golf and pitch and putt available close by with an 18 hole golf course approximately 40 minutes drive away.

Further details
Lanzarote is designated a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO; it is an island of all-white villages, roadside flowers and tough rules against advertising billboards. It’s got its own National Park with geysers, moon-like lava fields and numerous dormant volcanoes and sandy beaches. Playa Blanca is known locally as ‘the pearl of the south’, with it’s special climate and one of the largest beach promenades in Europe. The sea temperature rarely drops below 18degC and underwater visibility ranges from 6m - 20m depending on the season.
Because of the proximity of the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura, Playa Blanca is a perfect starting point for excursions to explore the long sandy beaches in the north of that island or a trip to the town of Corralejo.
Whether you wish to visit the tourist attractions on the island; natural spots like Timanfaya, (where at times you will think you have landed on the moon), volcanos, historical heritage, camels, unique beaches, protected landscapes, lava fields, leisure and sport activities, vinyards, salt mines;
Or stroll through town centres and enjoy shops and markets; eat in Spanish, Italian, Tex Mex, Japanese, Chinese Restaurants or enjoy French Crepes, Ice Cream, Tapas or a long cool drink in waterside bars and restauranst;
Or swim, bowl, surf, sail, dive, fish, golf, walk, run, jog, read, it’s all close by. Villa Mar is ideal for families or couples; but be warned, you may never wish to go out, preferring to just relax and soak up the sun in this very comfortable villa with it's amazing fit out, own private pool and garden...

Guest comments
'We've been to quite a few apartments/villas and I think that this is the first time that we did not feel we had to wash the china and cutlery before using it! We also appreciated the attention to details, little things like extra towels in each bathroom, a wonderful selection of equipment and empty spaces to store foodstuffs. The pool was a real bonus for us too - we certainly would not have used it without the heating and after all the eating we needed to do so! You have certainly put together a delightful place for folk to enjoy and we loved the bright colours!' TB, Stewkley.

'On arrival at Villa Mar we gained an immediate and pleasing impression of the quality and lovely standards that the owners have set for their visitors. In Villa Mar, everything works! The layout is great, the bedrooms spacious and the kitchen spotlessly clean and modern. Our holiday has been a complete success, the place is wonderful.' D and S T (Worcester).
