Explore the Options and Opportunities on the Canaries

The Canary Islands are the perfect option for a winter break, with their hot, dry climate and welcoming atmosphere. Lanzarote is the fourth largest of the Canaries, being 60 kilometres by 25 kilometres, and is only a boat ride away from its neighbour Fuerteventura.

A great option for travellers to Lanzarote is the Ficus Apartments. Known as Los Ficus, the apartment resort is situated on the eastern coast of the island. With a pool area and entertainment for all the family, the hotel caters for up to three adults or two adults and two children per apartment. The restaurant serves fresh, varied meals while there is an ‘animation’ team for day and evening entertainment.

A Lot Available at One Hotel

Hotel Sol Lanzarote is situated on the beachfront in Matagorda, and offers self-catering accommodation in the form of 222 recently refurbished apartments. The 36m2 apartments boast one bedroom and a lounge with sofa bed, plus a fully equipped kitchen. For those who prefer not to self-cater, there are 121 hotel rooms. Why not unwind on your terrace on arrival, before setting out to explore the area? A short walk to Puerto del Carmen, with a shopping centre even closer, just 200m away, you will not be short of things to do or things to buy!

A week may not even be enough to take advantage of all the Hotel Sol Lanzarote has to offer, including tennis courts, three swimming pools for adults plus one for the kids, Baby Rock club, Mini club, fitness centre, diving school and top-quality entertainment. With lots of eating options, including pizzeria, buffet restaurant and pool bar, you can be sure your family won’t go hungry during your stay.

Many Options Available

Tenerife, the Canaries’ largest island, is, like Lanzarote, a volcanic island, but with more sandy beaches than its neighbour. At the Los Cristianos resort is the hotel Paradise Park, a hilltop hotel which boasts stunning panoramic views. The hotel features four swimming pools, three heated in winter months, plus a heated plunge pool overlooking the ocean.

To keep you entertained are activities such as darts, aerobics and kids clubs, and to keep you fed and watered are a wide range of choices, from buffets to pool bars, or alternatively you can wander to the local bars and restaurants or into laid-back Los Cristianos itself.

The hotel offers a great choice of rooms from standard up to premium, all with either balconies or terraces.

So, to escape the snow and wind, let Jet2holidays.com whisk you away to the Canaries for a top-up of sunshine and relaxation.
