Villaverde enjoys majestic ocean views and sights of Lanzarote from its elevated position in the north. This beautiful village has grown yet maintains the essence of a traditional Canarian village.
El Cotillo, a picturesque seaside village on the west coast, centers around the “Puertito”, a hub for local fishermen and sailing aficionados, offering serene spots to witness stunning sunsets.
Parque Holandés, positioned between Corralejo and Puerto del Rosario on the east coast, exudes a cosmopolitan vibe, attracting diverse nationalities to its community of luxury villas and accessible apartments.
Triquivijate, near the tourist hotspot of Caleta de Fuste, has transformed from a quaint farming village into a lively community while keeping its rustic charm, surrounded by scenic mountains.
