Welcome to our quickstart guide to property in Playa Honda, a bustling residential area located on the east coast of Lanzarote. The area enjoys a fabulous beach front promenade that stretches north to Arrecife and south to Matagorda and Puerto del Carmen. Furthermore, Playa Honda is home to Centro Comercial Deiland, one of the island’s largest shopping centres. What’s more, you’ll find a wide selection of services, shops, bars and restaurants. In particular, the choice of tapas bars and beachfront restaurants is great and this area is very popular with locals. The area is considered less tourist oriented than other areas. As a result, property prices here are more affordable as well.
All of this means of course that Playa Honda is a good area to relocate to for buyers looking for a year round home. And at prices that are lower than you can expect to find in the main tourist resorts. Also, there is a gorgeous beach in Playa Honda, offering several kilometres of golden sand.
