When it comes to enjoying a villa holiday in Spain, you won't be short of fabulous destinations to choose from. The Canary Islands - and Lanzarote in particular - has long attracted holidaymakers and by booking a break in Puerto del Carmen, you're well placed to have a wonderful break in the sun. Despite originally being a small fishing village, the town has gradually expanded over recent decades to emerge as one of the most vibrant resorts in the entire Canary archipelago. Whatever you're looking for from your holiday - whether it's soaking up the sunshine or trying exciting sports - you will be able to do so here. However, you shouldn't worry that the settlement's heritage has been completely abandoned and if you choose to book a Lanzarote private villa in Los Mojones you have the opportunity to explore the fascinating harbour and old town district. Here, you can watch locals go about their day-to-day lives and see fishermen bring in their daily catches. You'll also find a number of restaurants and bars that are close to the waterfront, perfect if you fancy tucking into tapas or some fresh seafood, before going for a gentle stroll around the period buildings. Puerto del Carmen is certainly a fantastic destination for those wanting to take things easy, but it's also well suited for people keen to be more active and try their hand at adventurous activities. Given Lanzarote's location in the Atlantic Ocean, it should be of little surprise that it's a great place to participate in a range of exciting water sports, in particular snorkelling and scuba diving. A number of fascinating dive sites are situated just a short distance from the Puerto del Carmen coast and, upon donning a snorkel and diving underneath the waves, you can see a vast array of creatures, including octopus, rays and monkfish. Alternatively, you can go windsurfing or swimming in the warm, crystal clear sea. However, if you would like to take to the water without getting wet it's worth taking a ride on a glass-bottomed boat. These excursions often depart from the town's harbour and as you travel you'll see an array of colourful underwater species from the comfort of your boat by looking through the clear panel. If you're looking for things to do back on dry land, you could travel around the local area on two wheels. A number of bicycle shops are situated on the waterfront, so you can easily hire a bike and explore the terrain. Golf lovers, meanwhile, should head to the Lanzarote Golf resort, which is situated a short drive from the town. The par 72 course is sure to challenge golfers of all abilities and as you play, you can take in wonderful sea views and will be able to spot the neighbouring islands of Fuerteventura and Lobos in the distance. Of course, the fact that you're on holiday means it's important to take plenty of time to relax. Although Puerto del Carmen is one of the busiest resorts in the Canary Islands, you needn't worry about fighting to find a sunbathing spot as the coast stretches for more than 6 km. There are a wide number of beaches that can be visited, with Playa Blanca and Los Pocillios among the largest. If you want somewhere a little less crowded, head to Playa Chica, which is the smallest beach in the region. Here, you can explore a number of fascinating volcanic coves before stretching out on the golden sand and basking in the sunshine.
