Puerto del Carmen Puerto del Carmen is the main tourist resort on the island and a town of extremes - with the quaint old harbour area with many seafront restaurants on one hand and the purpose-built holiday area with its numerous restaurants, shops, bright lights and superb night-life on the other. You can be close to the bright lights but away from the bustle. Puerto del Carmen boasts over 3km of golden sand so those wanting a beach holiday will not be disappointed.
Los Mojones is a very popular area for people wanting luxurious villa accommodation within easy walking distance of the restaurants and bars in the old town and harbour area which has retained much of its charm and is a fabulous place to enjoy a drink or meal and watch the local fishermen bring in their daily catch. The harbour is the starting point for several excursions including a glass bottom boat and trips from Lanzarote over to the neighbouring islands of Lobos and Fuerteventura. The Los Pocillios and Matagorda areas of Puerto del Carmen are more level and both have a beautiful golden sandy beach. There is also a good selection of bars, shops and restaurants in these areas and are ideal for guests wanting a more low key holiday where a car isn’t essential. Just outside Los Pocillios is the Rancho Texas theme park where younger holiday makers can enjoy the daily parrot, alligator and eagle shows. Also on the outskirts of the resort is a world class go-karting track. The beaches in Puerto del Carmen all have golden sand and slope gently into the sea, making them perfect for bathing. Playa Chica in the old town is the smallest beach and has pretty, volcanic coves. This beach is very popular for scuba diving and snorkelling. Playa Blanca beach and Los Pocillios are the largest beaches and again have golden sand and are safe for families. The centre of Puerto del Carmen is easily accessible, either by walking along the pretty seafront promenade or by catching the local bus or by taxi for only a few Euros. We have 45 villas in Puerto del Carmen.

The method of growing wine used is unique to Lanzarote. Each vine is individually grown in a small pit surrounded by a low wall and filled with volcanic gravel known locally as ‘picon’. These pits are called ‘zocos’ and are designed to offer protection for the hot breeze while retaining as much moisture as possible in the porous volcanic gravel. It is said that this method of vine growing produces a unique tasting grape. The traditional Canarian town of San Bartolome is only five minutes from Guime and offers a handful of restaurants and bars.
