Best Famara holiday apartments

If waves are your thing you will love the beaches of Famara, a place on the island of Lanzarote with such spectacular surf it is known as the Hawaii of Europe. This is life on the Canary Islands as it should be – relaxed, informal and light years away from the commercialised tourist resorts on the south coast. There are no big hotel developments here but that doesn’t mean you have to resort to couchsurfing in Famara to enjoy long, sunny days on its gloriously empty beaches. With 9flats you can rent a private holiday apartment in Famara directly from one of the lucky few who have discovered the charms of this secret surfing haven.

Escape the crowds with a holiday apartment in Famara

9flats makes it possible to escape the tourist crowds wherever you might be in the world, whether it is in a holiday apartment in Vienna or a vacation home in Vancouver. All offer a level of personalised comfort and privacy not found in anonymous tourist hotels and enable guests to experience life as part of the local community. In a holiday home in Famara that lifestyle is all about the beach – and there is plenty of it to enjoy. The long stretch of glistening sand and rolling dunes is so expansive you will always be able to find a private, peaceful place to unroll your towel, which is one of the reasons this Canary Islands paradise is as popular with naturists as it is with surfers.

Bohemian pleasures of a Famara holiday home

The nearby village of Caleta de Famara is a laid-back surf town which is an easy stroll along the beach from your Famara holiday home. With its bohemian atmosphere and stunning views of the cliffs around the beach this village is a perfect place to while away the evenings without feeling hassled by the pressures of cheap, tacky tourism. The family-run restaurants offer great seafood and fantastic views of the ocean and there are dishes to suit even the fussiest eaters in the family. And if you’re tempted to take to the sea there are a wide variety of water sports facilities on offer, including surf schools to help beginners take their first ride on the waves. The surrounding Famara Mountains offer a spectacular setting for mountain biking and hiking, and there is a massage centre in the village to ease those tired muscles afterwards.
